Hey, true weirdos. I bet you guys were as excited about the Artemis Moon mission as we were.

Did you follow every minute of it? Was it just the perfect dose of joy and positivity and hopefulness that your newsfeed's been craving?

Did it seem amazing to get such high-res close-up images of the moon. Were you not stunned by how

beautiful the moon was in high-deaf, Max? Absolutely. I've never seen pictures of the moon that

look quite like that. But all I could think about Cher was the episode of true weird stuff

that we previously did called Beaavers on the Moon.

Oh, the things people used to believe about the moon. The things some people still believe about

the moon. It's a hollow thing that's actually an alien base. It's populated by a race of bipedal talking intelligent beavers. It's got a secret,

like, you know, military base on the far side. There are so many myths about the moon. So with all of

the moon joy and enthusiasm in everyone's feed and Max having to be away for work this week, we thought

we'd bring back one of our favorites, Beavers on the Moon. Thanks for listening to this episode

of True Weird Stuff. The 135 square miles that make up the city of Las Vegas are sprawled across the floor of the

Mojave Desert surrounded on all sides by mountains.

Vegas is all lights and noise and people 24-7.

It's a sensory explosion, but like a dream, it ends abruptly.

One minute pulsing neon, next a vast parched desert seemingly empty for miles and miles

but tourists have found something in all that wide open dusty landscape something they say is proof that one of humanity's most staggering achievements

is a lie. They say they've found the spot where NASA faked the 1969 Apollo moon landing.

Oh, geez, that's great. Is the lighting airplay, Jason? Yes, indeed. They They've got the flag up now and you can see the stars and stripes on the limit of it.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

And they got a small beam of light against the mirror.

They're going to go.
