Read preview"Fly Me to the Moon," Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum's new romantic comedy-drama about faking the moon landing, is fictional but draws on some true historical events.
The White House eventually tasks Kelly with filming a fake moon landing in case the real one fails.
Apollo 11 spaceship launch director Cole Davis (Tatum) opposes Kelly's plan, believing it will discredit NASA's efforts.
This storyline leans into the conspiracy theory that NASA faked the US moon landing in 1969.
But there's no evidence to suggests NASA or any network tried to fake the moon landing.
