Day 375



You must have been living in a crater for the last 50 years to not be aware of the controversy surrounding the USA's most famed Luna adventures. Actually, if you were living in a crater for the last 50 years, you're likely to have a much more accurate account of events up there than anyone else, but you get the point I'm trying to make.
According to global press at the time, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first human beings to ever set foot on the surface of the Moon.

It was supposed to be a life-altering feat of endeavour; a real testament to the human species and a colossal re-imagining of our perceived boundaries. It was supposed to inspire the whole world.

Unfortunately the photographs that came back from space were heavily scrutinised by conspiracy theorists the world over, damning each and every grain of moon dust (or in some cases, the lack there of) that appeared in them for their placement, tone, contrast and orientation. Nothing and nobody possessed a shadow on the Moon that conformed to our conventional understanding of physics according to these pics, and most well documented of all was the observation that the American flag shown in a couple of snaps was blowing victoriously in the breeze, despite the vacuum of space preventing this from being possible. Basically, the whole thing was a little fishy.

A little late to the party but offering perhaps the most conclusive evidence over the issue to date comes today's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge T-shirt donation from Monster Press, featuring a design they printed for brand Falkor. The image is a rare photo taken on that excursion showing Armstrong on his morning jog around the satellite, but if you look closely at the high-definition enhancement of the helmet visor, you can see quite unequivocally that inside the space suit is in fact a specially-trained laboratory skeleton. This proves that no living human has ever touched down on that rock, as only dead ones are sent up there to begin with. The whole thing is a swiz and this beautifully printed Monster Press garment is the hard proof we've been waiting for.
