He explains that in the pictures and video from the Moon landing, his name can be seen on the tag on his space suit, but that you can’t see his face behind the helmet. [...] The former astronaut appears to reply: "Scariest… it didn’t happen. It could have been scary." The implication of this short clip is that Mr Aldrin was admitting that the journey itself never took place, though there could have been scary moments if he’d actually been.
