In a decade-old interview, comedian Joe Rogan laid out the reasons why he thought the moon landing was fake. Rogan suggested that the moon landing footage was the work of CGI, much like the movie King Kong.
Furthermore, according to Rogan, the supposed moon landing took place at the apex of a twenty-year solar cycle. The UFC commentator opined that the protective gear of the astronauts would not have been enough to ensure their survival on the trip:
"There have only been seven trips human beings ever gone past 400 miles.... Even if you got outside that band, you have to deal with solar cycles. Here's the apex of a 20-year solar cycle was between 1969 and 1972... Any one of those guys out there in those tiny little aluminum shielded crafts would have been killed instantly during any solar flare."

As per Rogan, all the footage of the moon landing looked fake. He further added that the Americans staged this pretend trip to win the Cold War against the Russians:
"You look at any of the footage online, it looks ridiculous... You know why because in 1969 nobody anticipated we were going to have VCR's and the internet, we were going to be able to watch that. They wanted to win the cold war. The Soviet Union had over ten first in space... But Americans were more advanced in trickery."
Joe Rogan on why he used to be a moon landing denier
In an episode of JRE with American journalist Bari Weiss, Joe Rogan said that it was an extremely convincing Fox documentary called "Did We Go to the Moon" that once made him a moon landing denier:
"Fox had a documentary called Conspiracy theory: Did We Go to the Moon... They got me hookline and sinker and for years I believed that we didn't go to the moon."

However, the comedian explained that he changed his stance after speaking to astrophysicists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and doing some critical thinking of his own.
The 54-year-old agreed that he was soo bougth into the idea that the moon landing was fake that he initially disregarded all the contrary evidence:
"I had taken every thing that I saw in that documentary... And with a hundred percent conformation bias, I only looked at that and I didn't look at all the contrary evidence."
