He really does want us to explore, but I think He also wants us to do it in the most efficient and effective way possible,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn then pivots to the conspiracy theorists who hold that the 1969 moon landing \u2014 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were live-broadcasted walking on the moon \u2014 was a hoax.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people say we never even went to the moon the first time. &#8230; Did we go to the moon, and does it matter?\u201d he asks Ross.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually got to watch the moon landing live on television when I was much younger,\u201d Ross says, \u201cand what really thrilled me was watching Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong putting up a laser reflector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s now three laser reflectors on the moon. Physicists beam laser beams off them every single day, and it\u2019s because of those laser reflectors that the Apollo astronauts put on the moon that we\u2019re able to test theories of gravity to a degree we\u2019ve never been able to do before,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>But these laser reflectors aren\u2019t the only proof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vehicles left behind by the astronauts are still there, and they\u2019re being photographed on a regular basis,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn then likens moon landing deniers to the people who contend there\u2019s no evidence that the Great Flood documented in Genesis actually happened.<\/p>\n<p>But Ross has spent years gathering scientific and biblical evidence to argue the contrary.
