My favorite self made up conspiracy of the moon is:
As we all know the moon is moving away from the earth slowly each year but that means it was once much closer perhaps so close even that it rolled along the surface of early earth, pushing down on creatures that were lazy and didn't get out of the way into the ground giving us fossils.

When the dinosaurs disappeared it wasn't from an apocalypse they just got tired of being squished and dino capitalism and decided to grab onto the other side of the moon as it rolled by and are now stuck up there.

And that's why the government won't let us go to the moon. Because they don't want us to meet our dino comrades.

Did you come up with this as a kid? Totally sounds like something I would've thought of as a little one.

the moon is made out of cheese.

goverment cheese was never made to feed the poor or to bail out dairy farmers,
it was used to built the set where they faked the moonlanding.

and now they feed it to the poor to get rid of the evidence.

With the current theory of how the moon was formed, it was in fact close enough to be touching the earth at one point... technically

Thank you.

I know, the evidence is outstanding. Truly the final leap in logic when you really look at the pieces.
