The Apollo project began when United States President John F. Kennedy proposed we put a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. In 1969 his dream came true when Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon.
Many people believe that the Apollo missions never took place, and that it was all staged for the benefit of the public. Supporting this interpretation is the fact that the American flag placed on the Moon does not wave, and there are no stars in the sky as would be expected in space. The astronauts may have been inspired in the hoax by the movie Capricorn One, which depicts a similar fictional trip to Mars.
