Examining Moon Hoaxers’ Greatest Hits – Brian Eggo
This event will be online, on the Skeptics in the Pub Twitch channel.
SPEAKER CHANGE: Unfortunately Kato Mukasa will be unable to join us. We’ve got a (reasonably) decent replacement though:
Just over fifty years ago we landed on the moon … or did we???
Yes, we did. We really did. Honest.
Unfortunately, we live in a time where a disturbingly large proportion of the population happily spread misinformation, distrust (real) experts, and fuel the flames of conspiracy despite overwhelming evidence.
If you delve into the unpleasant world of moon hoaxer groups you’ll see that the same set of claims crop up time after time. So, we’re going to take an express tour through their ‘top’ items – with your help!
Brian Eggo is most definitely not a rocket scientist. He is, however, the primary mouthpiece of Glasgow Skeptics, an occasional writer for The Skeptic, and he’s even got a degree in Engineering.
This event is being run by Skeptics in the Pub Online, a coalition of UK-based Skeptics groups. Formed as the Covid-19 epidemic brought our country to a standstill, we are working to deliver high quality online events focussing on science, reason, and critical thinking.
