  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show NASA Making Rain Clouds

    Fact Check

    Does a viral video circulated in July 2022 show NASA generating rain clouds and producing its own weather? No, that's not true.

    Does the mismatch between lunar boot prints and the smooth sole of Neil Armstrong's "space boot" confirm that U.S. astronauts never walked on the moon? No, that's not true: This recirculated hoax is missing context, as Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew wore inner pressure space boots with a smooth tread inside "overshoes" that left the rough textured boot…
