☆ Nearly 30,000 objects are hurtling through near-Earth orbit. That’s not just a problem for space
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( Bill Weir | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Then there is the space junk — nearly 30,000 objects bigger than a softball hurtling a few hundred miles above Earth, ten times faster than a bullet. Other analysts recently estimated the number likely to make it to orbit is closer to 20,000. “Ten years ago, people thought that our founder was crazy for even talking about space debris,” Ron Lopez told CNN while strolling past the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. The satellite, named “On Closer Inspection,” will observe the motions of a rocket stage that was left in low-Earth orbit in 2009. Astroscale’s mission will use cameras and sensors to study the rocket debris and figure out how to get it out of orbit.

They believe the photo shows Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, and imply the 1969 moon landings were somehow staged or fake because somebody else must have photographed him. A Facebook post (archived) sharing the claim reads, “Actually the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong’s cameraman.”However, the image being shared actually shows Aldrin and was taken by Armstrong. A description of a similar NASA photo says the moment shows Aldrin descending the ladder to the moon’s surface while Armstrong photographed him on July 20, 1969. Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon and his descent was captured by a mounted camera. A picture on social media shows Buzz Aldrin, the second man to land on the moon, not Armstrong.

Footage showing behind-the-scenes during the filming of the 2018 ‘First Man’ movie starring actor Ryan Gosling has been shared with false claims that it shows a film crew on the surface of the Moon. Further footage shows camera operators and film crew capturing the astronaut walking on what appears to be the lunar surface. Some shared the video on social media with suggestions that it showed proof that the lunar landing was a hoax. Examples of the clip shared online can be seen (here) and (here).
