The Artemis II mission, which sent astronauts farther from Earth than any human before, has been hit by a flurry of misinformation, including false claims that a historic lunar fly-by was staged in a movie studio, and claims that footage of the crew was AI-generated. These false claims have also fueled a conspiracy theory that NASA's 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was faked. Hashtags such as "fake space" and "fake NASA" have gained traction online since the Apollo II mission sent astronauts further from Earth. The misinformation spread as four astronauts were preparing for a high-stakes re-entry and splashdown. The rise of cheap and widely available AI tools has incentivised misinformation peddlers to cast doubt on authentic content, a tactic researchers have dubbed as the "liar's dividend". The trend underscores a Wild West internet landscape where false narratives erode digital trust.
