Aldo Sterone delivers a first-person French monologue questioning the official Apollo moon-landing narrative and comparing it to documented Cold War deceptions. He argues that Apollo-era claims contain internal contradictions, invokes Operation Northwoods and Soviet-era stories about Gagarin as precedent, and links this skepticism to contemporary figures (Elon Musk/SpaceX) who may have incentives to reveal or declassify information. The video closes with a promotion of the speaker's book and mention of a possible 2025 sequel.
Questions this video answers
"Not even four months" (speaker's claim).
The speaker states Apollo 10 "didn't land" (it was a mission that did not land).
Operation Northwoods (described as a plan to trigger attacks in the United States to blame Cuba).
My friends, good morning. From the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the fight continues. I was looking at Elon Musk's X account or Twitter, as the old folks say, and I get the impression that he has validated the validity of revealing a certain number of things about what happened during the Apollo mission. You know, the problem with the Apollo mission, seen from the perspective of someone like Elon Musk, is that it diminishes his merit, the merit of his company, SpaceX. Why, you've seen those impressive images of those boosters coming back from space and coming to land the flame in front, right, managed by computer batteries that control the orientation of this flame to the nearest millimeter and that come to land the booster gently. Have you seen those images? It's impressive, isn't it? Well, it's not really a technological feat in the sense that NASA did the same thing, or rather did it better in the 60s and placed in this way, not on earth like Mr. Does anyone can do that on Earth. They did it on the moon and they did it largely under manual control. They didn't have computers as fast or as powerful as the ones we have today. So obviously you can imagine. So me, you know, I'm no better than anyone else. I'm like millions of people. I told you, by the way, I was criticized, not without a certain amount of humor when I said that I believe that the story, the story of the Apollo mission is practically on the same level as other American plans of the time, plans of the Cold War, completely twisted stories that were regularly released. I'll give you another one, the Gulf of the Tankwan, for example. It turned out that it was a lie and haunted, didn't it, from that time. So Operation Northwood also shows you a system. It shows you a regime that is very much into extremely mislic plans. Operation Northwood. Did you know that he wanted to send attacks, trigger attacks in the United States to accuse Cuba? It was revealed. It's now part of something that no one will accuse you of being a conspiracy theorist if you go out to a family dinner because it's in the mainstream media, even its Wikipedia page with links, references, all that stuff. It's an army general who hatched a plan to accuse Cuba of causing attacks in the United States. But he had to cause those attacks and it involved plane crashes and all that. And in fact, you can always say, yes, Aldo, you're exaggerating about the thousands of generals they have. Well, maybe he's got a bug in this guy. Yes, yes, I agree with you. That's a valid argument. Except that in reality it's not valid. Why? Because when you look at this story, this general submitted a joint committee without a plan, right? So a joint committee reporting to the Pentagon, where the top brass of all the branches sit, right? The US Navy, the US Air Force, the US army and so on, they all sit there, they looked at this plan and they approved it. I mean, I'm fine with the guy being hunted, but in this case, he feels it. And they approved it so much that they found it credible that it goes to President Kennedy for signature. If he had signed it, the plan would have been triggered. And besides, the general at the source of this, he was not sanctioned, reprimanded or anything like that? No, he continued his career in Europe, within NATO, you see? So there is no problem. I am talking to you about a system of this level, am I not? I do not need to demonstrate that this system is like that, because the demonstration has been very widely and amply done. So they lied about this Apollo story, and in reality they lied with the. In the same logic that the Soviets lied about Gagarin. Besides. Because look, when there was this space race. Today no one is interested in the space race, frankly. But at the time, honestly, at. Back then, people were obsessed with the space race and the entry of the atom into the atmosphere. Today, not only do we not care about the atom, but. But we also don't care about the space thing. Today you bring an astronaut back and put him in a university lecture hall. I assure you, the lecture hall is half empty. It's more. Whereas back then they were gods, they are considered as if they were considered today, I would say, to give you an idea of the scale, as if we consider footballers today, for example, it's at that level, they are literally living gods. They are the gods of space, not the gods of the stadium. So I was telling you that when the Soviets lied about Gagarin, who was the first man to go into space, orbit the Earth. And well, the lie was based on the assumption the following is, it is said anyway, to go into space, to send a man into space, to make an orbit or two, or an orbit or two as one. It is a question of me. We will succeed, but we do not want to miss. We do not want to miss the record, we do not want to miss the fact of being able to say we are the first. So what did the Soviets do? Well, the Soviets, they lied. Gagari did not go. He was not the first man to have been in orbit. There were other men who were really the first, but not him. In any case, he did not go because his story does not hold water. I mean, his success. It is true that that is not the goal in my book. We did not walk on the moon. The story of Gagarin is not what I focus on. Huh? That's not. It wasn't my goal. But Gagarin, his story doesn't hold water. And again, there are people who say, yeah, Aldo, he says people didn't go to the moon or anything like that. It's not Aldo who says it. It's not me. It's the official version that says it. I don't work with stories from conspiracy theorists and people who believe that the earth is flat or stuff like that. No, no, I only use the official version. I work with the official version, and when I take the official version, I look at it on the table. It doesn't hold water. That's all. The first rule of logic, we. One of the first rules is no internal contradiction. So when there are internal contradictions, invisibilities, and everything. And everything. Plus, when you have a system that is based on lies at that time, well, that's it. It doesn't go very far. The bet on the Soviet lie paid off. Why? Because they didn't lie much. That means they were on the verge of achieving a feat, but they brought it forward by a few months. So they created the story of Gagarin, and then they said he was in space. And then, of course, their engineers, a few months later or a year or two later, managed to finally send people into space. So in that case, the lie will be covered up somewhere. The problem is that the Americans think the same way. The Americans, they had such a naive view of space. You know, at the time, it was like Walt Disney to them. They had the impression that in the year 2000, you know, 2000, if you look at the literature of the time, they tell you, in the year 2000, we're going to teleport to our workplace, we're going to go to work in a flying saucer, things like that. So if you like, they had this logic of telling themselves that going to the moon would take a few months, a year, two years, three years at most. So what do we do? We're going to fake it now? We're going to completely screw it up anyway, in a few years, it will be done so naturally by us and other nations that at least we'll be able to say that we were the first. The problem is that they lied because the Soviets had lied with Garin. They lied so big that here we are 60 years later applauding the SpaceX Landers, saying wow, what a feat of technology. While NASA was doing the same thing, but on another planet, you know, there you have it. The record hasn't been broken yet, you see, so. So there you have it, my friends. We'll see with, with Trump coming to power soon and then Elon Musk, who is literally the Vice President of the United States de facto, he's becoming his right hand man. So we'll see if Elon Musk doesn't want to start pushing the boss to declassify. So say we're going to declassify a declassifier because if you like, Elon Musk wants to go to Mars. Why does he want to go to Mars? Why doesn't he go to the Moon? Yes, because he was a believer. I think, I think that many Americans believe that. Well, we went to the moon in the 60s. Our great nation, our motherland, sent humans to the moon quite easily, by the way. Let me give you an example. Between Apollo 11 and Apollo 12, not even four months passed. In 1969 we sent two manned missions to the Moon. Finally in reality three, with one that didn't land, but Apollo 10. But in fact he says to himself that if we could have put guys on the moon twice in a row in the 60s, in 1969, I mean today with our technology, we could easily do the same thing on Mars or even further. The Moon is nothing at all. The problem is that in the context of analyzing his trip to Mars, he realizes that there are big problems. And I think these big problems with interplanetary travel make him see the Apollo stories in a new light. Because he's going to say to himself, but wait, if we have this problem that arises with such force to go to Mars, how did they manage to go to the moon at the time? Do you know what I mean? The more he analyzes the trip to Mars, the more he realizes that did we really make the trip to the Moon? Well, if we had, actually we wouldn't be asking ourselves these questions right now, you see. So I think that's what's going on in his head. There you have it. Lies always end up collapsing, my friends. Look at the lie about the Tankwin golf. It took decades. It was taught in schools, in high schools. People had to tell it like it was to get a good grade. Finally it collapsed. Today, even Wikipedia, even the BBC is talking about it to tell you, there you have it, my friends, I'll leave you. I won't make it too long because Musk so thank you for watching this video so far. I recommend that you read my book. I know that there are a lot of questions that come up every time I talk about this subject, but I recommend that you read my book where I address many, many questions. And then maybe, maybe if I have time, 2025, I'm writing a sequel where I'll answer all of your questions in extremely, extremely detailed detail. Thank you my friends, for listening this far. In the next video.
