Debunking Greg's WORST Conspiracy Yet? | Armoured Skeptic Rabbit Hole 

Interesting he said "88 scientists from Nazi Germany founded NASA" when it was more like 1500, and 88 is a very specific number. Greg. Why did you say 88?

That top comment is definitely an old joke, but you can trust Greg's braindead audience to mangle the delivery. It should go like this: NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing, but he was a perfectionist so he insisted on filming on location.

_"They were conveniently the first people on the moon. First try. No failed attempts."_ It was Apollo 11... The hell does he think they were doing for the first 10? Fondling themselves? It took them 2 and a half years worth of missions to get to that point.

Its funny Greg insinuates Buzz Aldrin only punched a guy because he was shook. He was not some academic who might only resort to violence because he just cant debate this guy. He was a USAF officer, he probably punched someone for less.

I hate it when people use this footage of Buzz Aldren being harassed and asked to swear on the Bible as some kind of evidence. The man is being accosted and you expect him to give the aggressor what he wants? Fuck no, you never do that.

It is un ironically, more technologically advanced to havefaked, the moon landing in the 60s then to have landed on the moon in the 60s

Another quick Googling will show you all the information you need on the Van Allen belts. 1) they're not deadly; 2) most of the radiation from them can be blocked with paper (the Apollo missions had several layers of metal and plastic shielding); 3) they weren't in the belts for very long. We have satellites that orbit in the belts that are super sensitive to radiation, yet still function. Gerg doesn't know what he's talking about

He should really change his name to the armoured conspiracy theorist. I feel like when Hbomberguy debunked his anti science bill nye video it just broke his brain

"Mastered space" bruh space is an endless ocean of insta death we ain't mastering shit 😂😂😂 we just went to earth's moon but we havnt been able to be on other planets without it being a literal death sentence

Interviewer: "Buzz Buzz what's Optimus Prime like..." Buzz: "That was just a movie" Interviewer: "so you're saying you lied about the moon landing I saw you speaking with Optimus in Transformers Dark of the Moon" Buzz: [HANDS] I could watch that punch all day

Armored septic was one of the few instances or introduction to atheism He was quite passionate about it too. and I thank him for those many hours I spent listening. But now, holy shite it's like he's a completely different person.

I remember when Gregory actually was a skeptic, and now he's, well, just a joke?

One thing I would disagree with Jake about is his almost "disdain" for NASA and their lack of scientific discoveries. NASA is responsible for some pretty amazing discoveries and technologies.

NASAs budget is like, 0.5% of the federal budget

I can't with Greg's vocal fry

"They're just sad! This image is just depressing and confusing." Let's stuff Greg in a capsule for two weeks as his muscles get used to weightlessness before plunging him back into Earth's gravity. Let's see how depressed and confused he is. Quick, someone reserve him a seat on Artemis III.

Greg is going to loose his mind when he finds out about the military's budget

Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun A man whose allegiance Is ruled by expedience Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown "Nazi, Schmazi!" says Wernher von Braun!

1:04:38 wow it couldnt simply be that they are absolutely mentally, physically and emotionally BEAT from just having returned on a 250,000 mile journey to the fucking MOON could it!? as for the suggestion of sadness in their voices, i certainly have to think that, after seeing one of the absolute most unique & hauntingly beautiful sights and probably the most unfathomably humbling experience that no human, other than the two men who are sitting right beside you, could even hope to begin to understand the indescribably profound feelings from this experience that is now completely behind you, over and done with, id probably fuckin' have a wee bit of detectible sadness in my voice as well. god greg is such a freakin' dork lmaaooo

Neil Armstrong disliked public speaking of any kind which he suffered from as a child. He very rarely gave any type of public speech or TV interviews as he found the anxiety quite debilitating. Its interesting Greg made this video as quite some time ago he made a video on how the moon landing was real. He got all these strange ideas when he stopped feeding Shoe on Head his Spam Javelin.

I mean, him and Shoe really DESERVE each other. Edit: When they where togheter haha (been sometime since I seen them both, sorry yall 😅).

I've heard of Blue Screens and Green Screens, but I have never heard of gridded screens

Saying NASA creates propaganda is getting dangerously close to flat Earth. I knew Greg was dumb, but it kinda hurts my stomach to think he’s _that_ dumb. I know it’s probably all a grift but jeez.

Bill Clinton meant "wow maybe that guy was ahead of saying how a reality can be manufactured by news outlets whole cloth like is done by fox" lmao

He's going to do a flat earth video by the end of the year. Everyone who falls down the conspiracy ladder this far ends up there.

NASA still does a shit load now......its just not as televised or glamorized.

'Armored' continues to be a dumb adjective for someone calling themselves a skeptic, but I guess it's not inaccurate-he remains firm and unyielding in the face of overwhelming evidence.

when your first two sources are Bill Clinton and Joe Rogan... your moon landing video is going poorly, Greg.

Tony’s Chocoloney is fucking _amazing_ I love just the basic milk chocolate. It’s, like, the platonic ideal of high-cocoa milk chocolate

the reason for the licensing is the same reason google earth has redacted areas you can't look at. international treaties and security

"Other than Apollo 13, every other Apollo mission succeeded and walked on the moon." Greg... Greg!!! What about 8, 9, and 10, Greg?!?! What about the first one, Greg?!?! Sure, 2 through 7 got cancelled, but maybe you could, I don't know, creatively make inferences about *them* failing and being covered up. Maybe, *Greg!!!*

Hmph, Greg believes in the moon

Greg thinks the ISS has a holodeck like in Star Trek apparently. That is the only reason I can think of that would explain why he thinks a gridded blue screen would be used like a blue or green screen

I like Greg thinking that there's a massive pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suit (it's about the same as being 30 feet underwater). The problem with the vacuum of space isn't the PRESSURE, it's the functionality infinite VOLUME; the air in your suit or ship or whatever rushes out in an attempt to reach equilibrium by filling the whole, goddamn universe. What does "deserve to be skeptical" even fucking MEAN?!

Man i really used to like armoured skeptic until he started these weird conspiracies

The conspiracy of 'cgi placeholder screens' is so absurd. Considering how many green screen shots and overall CGI edits he does, he should know that any sort of grid pattern would make it a million times harder to edit.

Skeptic is such a misnomer for Greg's current persona as a demented conspiracy theorist.

the punching thing? buzz was, if not still, a catholic, he probably thought even the implication of the stunt to be blasphemous and utterly rude on the highest order

Man, you can really tell he completely stopped doing actual research and has just been browsing consipiracy subreddits

Why is it that online skeptics are “skeptical” but only in the way that they can be like “well I’m not going to do any research”

Regarding the cosmonaut that died during reentry, Vladimir Komarov, the legend of him cursing the engineers is questionable. Firstly, the story usually goes that he was contacted via video phone, during which time he angrily cursed the engineers and the soviet government. However, from what I understand, the Soyuz 1 had no such device. I assume it only had audio communication equipment. Moreover, the issue resulting in the crash was that the main parachute failed to deploy and the reserve chute became tangled with the drogue chute, resulting in an unimpeded impact at 40 m/s. It's difficult to find details about the exact communication modules present on the Soyuz 1, but what little I have been able to find seems to indicate that it was unlikely that there were any communications during this point in the descent and there are no official records of this communication anywhere to be found. Moreover, the book that popularized this myth seems to imply that it was known *hours* before the accident that Komarov was going to die, but this is blatantly untrue. If the main parachute was activated at around an altitude of 6 km, at 40 m/s, that would give about 2 1/2 minutes between the failed deployment of the main chute and impact. Even if ground control had contact with the craft at that time, I doubt they would have spent those minutes praising him as a hero rather than trying to fix the problem. Personally, I write the account off as cold war propaganda.

You can, right now, go online and buy a moon rock. Sometimes things hit the moon hard enough to fling bits of it down to Earth. It doesn't happen too often but it's been happening for 4 billion years so we've got a lot of them kicking around. They're called lunar meteorites.

you know what, i threw up last month and now i cant remember my first sports team!!!!!!must have been mind wiped

Thank you! I was wondering about Tony’s chocolate

And to think, I used to like Armoured Skeptic.

Seeing a space launch in person is a life long dream of mine.

Fake moon nonsense has been debunked by everyone. Even Nvidia debunked a conspiracy during a tech demo for their products for the lols. If I find a clip I’ll post a link. It was pretty cool.

I was a huge fan of the Watchmen graphic novel and one of the few that liked the film too, and though I haven't watched the directors cut, I did add it to my blue ray to watch eventually, as I heard it was even closer to the book

I live in Huntsville, AL it’s no secret here that the imported Nazis have left their mark on this city. Christs sake, we have the Von Braun Center in downtown.

@55:15 has greg even aver heard about some of the tactics the canadian officers use? entrapment, not stopping interviews when they ask for a lawyer (seriously, they just keep asking and its up to you to remain silent. they wont stop)

Greg was less unhinged when he was with Sh0e. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad sign for him lmao.

"That blue grid is a special effect screen!" Special effect screens are solid colours that completely cover the background of shots to make colour keying easier. Having that grid would make shit much harder. The grid is likelier used in experiments in combination with camera footage to measure. Each line is a certain width and each box is a certai size, so measurements can be made accurately

the first 2 just shufffled around yet later missions have more confidence.........................o you think because maybe that was THE VERY FIRST LANDING AND THEY WERE BEING CAREFUL AND NOT 100% SURE IT WAS GOING TO GO WITH FIRST TIME REAL LIFE TESTED SUITS. Like jesus christ is that fact that old timey sports couldnt hold a candle to modern sports? we build on successes greg

Pretty sure that "grid" is the fabric mesh they hook the sleeping bags to.

im not saying it was fake, i just spend the entire video using every single moon fakers theories everyone has seen and regurgitate them as if i 100% believe them.

10:30 You can tell this is ChatGPT talking because it changed the quote, something it always does.

greg tells the story about the predecessors to neil and buzz dying in an attempt and then goes on to say there were no attempts..................

How does he know about the Van Allen Belts? I thought NASA couldn’t be trusted😂

using strings to simulate low-gravity on... water?

6:12 The aliens, there are giant amazonian aliens they DO NOT want you to know about.

wonder if greg has ever watched footage of them testing the lander but on earth, its a very interesting fix. the gave him a gyoscoped jet lifting him of 5/6 gravity so he could test the controls right

Why does every conspiracy theorist, culture war warrior, right wing grifter etc. all put on the most irritating and artificial voice when they speak? Surely he doesn't really sound like that when he speaks. That is so frustrating to hear.

_"88 nazi scientists"_ HMMmmm... COINCIDENCE?

The moon rock speculation killed me. I have a small fossil collection gifted to me when I was a kid because I am obsessed with paleontology and have acquired several small fossils since. I even found a preserved shell in a local river where a mastodon's tooth was recently excavated. However, there is a similar moral dilemma with fossils as moon rocks. Every fossil we find is a potential discovery about the ancient world. I love my collection, but if a scientist wanted to confiscate it and break it down to see if there are (for example) soft tissues preserved, clues about how the organisms died, or anomalies that point to a new species, I would have to say yes. That's almost certainly why that woman was in trouble for trying to sell potential discoveries about space exploration, not to mention how it's likely illegally confiscated NASA property.

If I remember correctly, Buzz Aldren had been invited to speak at an event only to find out it was a lie created by the guy in order to corner him. So, he traveled all that way just to be lied to. While not acceptable, it's understandable why he socked it to him.

Poor lad escaped conspiratorial thinking for a bit but he did not attain escape velocity and now he is a captured satellite unable to escape his orbit of insanity.

millions of people around the world going to work everyday lying about their jobs and no one is like "hey guys, guess what"

When did Greg become a crazy person? I haven't seen any of his videos in a long time but I feel like the Armoured Skeptic I used to watch would have debunked modern Greg's videos so easily.

Ah yes, the good old cop out from responsibility by saying "I'm not insinuating anything, I'm just asking questions"

I'm very fond of the 'these guys aren't behaving the same way people usually behave when they get back from the moon.' argument.

Armor: Wow humans have never seen space like this before! *Greg quickly begins shuffling all of his SPACE SHUTTLE toys under his bed* Like seriously?!?! Before Musk was even a name, the space shuttle flew dozens of missions, each with hundreds and hundreds of hours of video and pictures. Also the international space station has been long too before Musk. Yet an over wealthy person shoots a car into space and now it's "never seen before?!?!?" Gah he is so silly...

Jake, why you gotta always be picking on the Canadians and the way we talk. Sometimes the maple syrup just gets stuck in our mouth a weird way and we say words funny. It's not a big deal.

neil was not a public person, very shy and awkward guy. think good ole farm boy kinda guy. he was a pilot and then an aeronautics professor. not really a speak on tv and talk to a whole bunch of people kinda person. he could really only talk about his passion flight.

In 2022, NASA's budget was approximately $24 billion. In the same year, we allocated $115 billion to repair roads and bridges. Why aren't we talking about a massive roadwork conspiracy? NASA is running on less than a penny of every dollar taxed. It works out to about $0.0069.

I cant believe NASA arrested that moon rock lady.

We need a Jake v Greg debate.

Why does he gesticulate like an NPC

But when will he get into the real conspiracy surrounding the existence of, or lack there of, birds.

Hey hold on now, we know how to say "Reagan" in Wisconsin! 😂

Most people will never have access to space. Most people, however, do have the resources to buy a telescope.

It was crazy to watch this guy go from being a skeptic to a loony.

You would have thought Greg would have heard of Ockham's Razor but I guess not cos almost every claim he utters violates it

The Holland petrified wood Moon rock did not come from NASA. It came from some dude's private collection.

I tore into this one creationism-style in the comments. He uses 100% Flat Earth arguments now, which are the worst possible. Some of these arguments were so easy to rebut it took only common sense. He could get traction reviewing the arguments and setting out both sides, but he doesn't provide the facts. The swivel head on the Gemini suit took a brief Google search to see the actual suit design which actually shows the swivel mechanism. The "green screen" is literally on NASA websites right now for education purposes. No one is hiding jack shit.

NASA is an entire agency not a department. Greg should change his name to Armoured Brain Leakage. I think he got kicked in the head too many times by somebody's shoe.

I've made it a personal rule to never believe anything from a person with a templar shield and a sword in their video Now that right there is a rock, if I ever seen one 😂 Also, during this whole video, my brain was like "I've got faaaith! Of the heart~ Goin where my heart will take meh!~ I've got faith To believe I can do aaaanything I've got strength Of the soul No one's gonna bend or break meh! I've got faith To believe~"

I would personally prefer to die in space, because there would be the chance that my remains could be what sparks a new form of life on another planet and that would be pretty cool

5:15 Valid point from Greg to bring up the Cold War and the Space Race...It's also true America benefited from establishing that they landed on the moon when they did (in first place)...therefore, America had incentive to lie, just like they had incentive to do anything that resulted in everyone believing they successfully got Americans to the moon and back (including incentive to actually do it). However, you can't argue that "America's competition with Russia gave them incentive to lie" without bringing up how *Russia* had incentive to get there first instead of America, and therefore Russia had incentive to proclaim that America didn't actually land on the moon...Russia had incentive to lie about it too, and if NASA's moon landing was indeed fake, they definitely had incentive to tell the truth! Why would Russia support the belief that the American flag got planted on the moon first, for the world to see, and is still there after all these decades? Why would all the individuals who were actively competing with NASA lie about being able to see the special object NASA claims you can see through a telescope, because they specially designed it and then had their astronauts leave it on the moon, for that very purpose...? Why would all the people who must know about this lie, and who have also publicly opposed America and talked about American lies & propaganda...not brought up this pinnacle of American lies & propaganda to bolster their point?? At this point, anyone who actually knows & has some evidence of being able to know has incentive to come forward, because they would become a media sensation & go down in the history books. They don't even need to have incentive to hurt America, only incentive to help themselves to the worldwide fame & money. _(Yes, like Edward Snowden they also have incentive to keep the secret out of fear of retaliation from the American government...but they also have incentive to go public, even moreso than Snowden did, and there are even more people who know the truth than in Snowden's case, including so many individuals who don't even live in America and have nothing America can hold over them or use to punish them, etc.)_ Yet, despite encountering a lot of moon landing deniers & their content over the years...I have yet to see a single one actually address this reality - even when, like Greg, they bring up adjacent & unavoidably connected topics. Instead, they always focus on NASA, the American government, and pretty much anyone else who they can argue legitimately has an incentive to lie. _(If they even acknowledge the counter argument about "how many people had to be in on it & keep quiet, etc." they only acknowledge the Americans who have to be in on it.)_ I find it incredibly frustrating, because it's not just Americans and American institutions that must be lying...there were people in every country who must have lied at the time, and still today there are even more people who are continuing the lie...including new people who weren't even alive at the time, and who aren't motivated by the Cold War, etc. People & orgamizations who were *actively* competing in the Space Race against NASA lied. Governments that actively oppose America have lied, and continue to lie...it's not just Russia, but Russia is a great example, especially because it's the deniers who usually bring up Russia themselves! The fact Russia hasn't even hinted at the conspiracy theory being true, even after all these decades and active conflicts, is very telling...because it's not like I'd believe them automatically if they did say America faked it, due to how much incentive they have to lie _(on top of how many lies already come out of Russia)._ */end rant* lol. 😅 It's just so ridiculous. So many issues with the conspiracy theory that the people arguing for it won't even acknowledge, much less actually debunk. It's sad how insecure & unhappy they must be, because I can't see any other incentive for them besides wanting to feel special & smart (perhaps wanting the world, and their life, to be a lot more mysterious & exciting than it actually is as well). 🤔 _(I can't help but notice that it's consistently individuals who have no academic standing, much less any experience in science, or even a high position in a company, insisting the moon landing was faked. Even the conspiracy theorists who _*_do_*_ have success in something, even academia, even as a real scientist...don't say the moon landing was fake. They'll push plenty of other crazy shit, often ruining their own credibility & losing their job in the process...but they still won't claim we never went to the moon - or space is fake (or that the Earth is flat). Even once they have nothing else to lose and/or have fully embraced the identity of a crazy conspiracy theorist!)_

20:30 with just the income tax alone the government covers NASAs budget for multiple years

I hope Greg lives a long a healthy life so we get these videos for the next 50 years

I stopped watching Armored Skeptic when he started dabbling with conspiracy theories, which I assumed was an extremely boring attempt at satire (and it was extremely boring). So now I am finding out that this extremely boring shit isn't even satire??? WTF??? Armored Skeptic is a loon. Seriously. 🙄

What up my migga

*A normal person, seeing some of the evidence presented:* Huh, that's odd. I should look into why it looks like that. I might learn something about how our universe works. *Greg:* Anything outside of my own head could be tainted by the great phoenix. (He did say that many theories were debunked at 45:03, but only a passing mention. He went into no detail and may have not meant any of the ones he presented.)

I used to watch Armoured Skeptic back in my anti-sjw phase. Looking back and watching this vid of his now, I don't know how I ever did.

We have had multiple missions to space without NASA being involved. SpaceX has made multiple trips, Virgin Galactic has been as well as 44 countries. And von Bron did not found NASA. 😂

"We have to believe what we're told about space" actually we don't. It's all math, and it gets corroborated by dozens of different disciplines across the globe. Greg, do you think that literally every scientist on the planet is in on this?

Space Force is almost entirely dedicated to NatSec Satellite ops, which iirc includes GPS. And the NRO flights aren't covered up, they just dont share what the payload is lmao. ULA launches NRO sats all the time.

The altered Michael Collins photo was not released by NASA. NASA's image was repurposed by a magazine or newspaper (can't remember which) to accompany an article. Not official trickery in the slightest.

Space force is just doing what we were already doing but with new uniforms. I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have it all under one department, but to have it as it's own department is silly, normally armed forces have...armaments, the Space Force has no armaments, no Space Battleship Yamatos, no SA-43 Hammerheads, the closest they'll have is for security on their installations.

Is this an old video? The Space Force has been recruiting people with our prior military experience for a while.
