Did Neil Armstrong say that there was a sophisticated alien base on the far side of the moon and they warned NASA to never return to the moon, and that's why the moon missions were stopped? Or is this a wacky conspiracy theory?

Why would Neal Armstrong say that, given that
1- he was on the moon, on the NEAR side (Collins was the one who stayed in the command module
2- the far side was essentially in the dark, since the near side was illuminated (the moon mission date was selected so the astronauts would work in the light...)
Further, several mission both before AND after Apollo 11 flew and imaged the far side of the moon, there is no alien base there.
And the missions continued until Apollo 17, 3 years after Apollo 11, actually.
So, yes, this is wacky and completely bogus.

It is a Wild Weird Wacky conspiracy theory. Neil Armstrong never said there was anything on the far side of the moon.

Excellent. Dueling conspiracy theories.
In this corner, the twerps who say Neil Armstrong was sitting in a soundstage in Houston ...
And in that corner, the trulyoddones who say that Neil Armstrong was not only on the moon, but able to see an alien base from the opposite side of the moon.
Winner gets a tinfoil hat.
Let the battle begin. CLANG!

It is an idiot conspiracy thing, as ridiculous as the moon hoax stuff, and put about by people who know nothing about the Apollo missions.
There were 5 missions after Neil Armstrong's landing. So, they did return to the moon.
So much garbage being put around.

Of course not. That's ridiculous. Plus, NASA went back to the Moon 6 times after the original Moon landing.

Conspiracy theorys are fun.
This one, however, is one of the more paranoid and rediculous ones I've heard.
There's just no grounding in reality here. Moon missions went on after Neil got home. Several people orbited around, past the dark side, before and after that.

Sounds like a wacky conspiracy theory.
I mean, it that were true, wouldn't Apollo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 have been cancelled?

How do you explain the several moon landings made AFTER Neil Armstrong was there?

Neil did not land on the moon. The movie showing him taking the 'small step for men' has been analised many times and some things just don't match. For instance; the flag they plant waves as if there is wind. There is no wind on the moon. In some shots you can see objects reflecting in his helmet that don't belong on the lunar surface. There's more, just search the web and you will start having the same doubts soon. Think of the date nasa has planned for a 'new' lunar landing. 2020!!! If they could do it within 4 years in the sixties, from reaching space to landing on the moon, why should it take this long today? Becouse Russia is no longer a 'cold war competetive element' in the race for votes/dollars.

So... everyone is getting tired of the faked moon landing conspiracy theory, so now they have to come up with something even crazier?
