Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touched down and walked on the surface as Michael Collins orbited above. Conspiracy theorists continue to claim that the lunar landing, as well as the five subsequent missions, were a hoax. And nearly seven years ago, Buzz Aldrin punched one of them in the face.

Bart Sibrel, the maker of two films claiming the moon missions were faked, took the blow after luring Aldrin to a Beverly Hills hotel under the guise of a Japanese TV interview, then demanding the 71-year-old former astronaut swear his moonwalk on the bible. Fortunately, the galactic punch was captured on film, below.
