We reach the critical crunch of our space odyssey, and back on our home planet we find the story of the moon landing beset by very earthly problems. Sections of an increasingly cynical and distrusting population start to question if humanity's greatest achievement was all that was claimed, or just a big spoof.We go through the strange sequence of events & a peculiar cast of characters, who began the claim that the moon landing was a hoax. There are men smashing up their TVs and hating supermarkets, stories of astronauts hiding out in the casinos of Las Vegas, allegations the Mafia ran security for NASA, and possibly the most entertaining of all conspiracy theories – that Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, and secretly confessed to it in one of his most famous films.It's the story of a conspiracy theory that begins among a strange secret society (possibly a drinking club) and then simmers on the fringes for decades until a few key events, and people, supercharge it.There are also too many snooker references.This episode was originally in one part, but our own strange sequence of events has led to us having to split it into two – all of which we try to explain.Send all of your questions, comments, complaints and conspiracies to stallit@goloudnow.com

Who invented the moonwalk? Does it really matter?We get derailed by the history of dance before we can take our first step on the lunar surface for the third installment of our deep dive into the moon landing.We then get sidetracked by a debate over if the moon has days and nights, and some (inevitable) talk about flossing on the moon, but it's not long before we're skipping into tales of moon rocks in Finglas, the little known truth behind Neil Armstrong's most famous quote, and secret holy ceremonies and secret telepathic experiments on the moon - and all on NASA's time.After their high risk landing the Apollo 11 astronauts may have hoped to be free of danger, but we hear how a broken switch, a high ladder step and a quickly shutting door could have caused separate disasters, in the space of just a few minutes.The conversation gets heated over talk of visible wires holding up the astronauts, and we all share in the childlike joy of Darren Conway realizing his new moon toys have a secret power.Send all of your questions, comments & deep dive suggestions to stallit@goloudnow.com

We dive deeper into the story of the first moon landing, as we approach what would be the finish line of the space race.We set off on a mission full of death defying risks, including Darren's well publicised deepest fear of drifting through the vastness of space. The lads wonder if they'd have the qualifications needed to become astronauts, there's a warning about killer space ants, and we hear about the world's most awesome machine (and explain its power using some classic Stall It calculations).Joe complains that everything is going suspiciously well as the lunar surface draws nearer, but there's problems to come as Apollo 11, and the race to the moon, comes within just seconds of disaster.Send all of your comments, questions, deep dive suggestions and moon landing conspiracies to stallit@goloudnow.com

We take another deep dive, this time into the incredible and sometimes strange story of the race to land a man on the moon.We journey from the days when claiming the moon was a rock (and not a God) could have you exiled, to the space race, as paranoia and fear led to a scramble to lay the first foot on the moon, as a way of securing the future of the earth.We hear about the incredible feats of science and exploration that saw humans leave our planet for the first time and go in search of new worlds and, of course, we look at how the claims the moon landing was a hoax began, and ask if there is any truth in the conspiracies. Joe has some ideas he wants to share with us.Send all of your comments, questions, deep dive suggestions and moon landing conspiracies to stallit@goloudnow.com

The bonus mailbag is filled with some thought provokers as ever and this week we get to hear which celebrities Darren and Joe think they would have a genuine shot at.The chance to go invisible descends into scaring the bejaysus out of Simon Harris with a Michael Collins painting and a jocking in the Oval Room.
