The Mars landing hoax is a derivation of the many Moon landing hoaxes, where supporters deny that any probe has been sent to Mars, or alternatively claim that footage from Mars landings is completely faked. Some supporters, such as those within the Flat Earth Society or Above Top Secret readership also deny the entire space program.[1][2]

Motives to deny

Some may be connected to the Face on Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom stories and Orson Welles' The War of the Worlds, with people believing that footage has been faked to prevent people knowing about vast alien cities.

Evidence

The Atlantean Conspiracy attempts to debunk claims of Mars landings by saying that the atmosphere is so thin that NASA would not have bothered using parachutes at all if this was a real mission.[3]
