NVIDIA Shows Lunar Landing demo with RTX Real-Time Ray Tracing
It’s been almost fifty years since the Apollo 11 moon landing, and the controversy of its staging followed it for many decades after. Four years ago, using Maxwell GPU technology, NVIDIA addressed the controversy by showing how it would have been impossible to stage.
For Turing they’ve recreated one of history’s most iconic shots – showcased during Jensen Huang’s keynote at GTC Europe.
This presentation utilizes NVIDIA RTX real-time ray tracing technology and Unreal Engine to showcase the reflection of light on different surfaces, illustrating how the classic photo was taken.

There was no "controversy" over the moon landing. It was only later that idiot conspiracy theorists started saying it was all fake.

It was quite possible back in the day. Issue is survival of crew long enough to get back irradiated and die back on Earth.
I'd say that in worst case scenario Armstrong's team went to orbit and another team finished Moon mission. (This is possibility, but let's be honest... Nobody else was there to confirm/disprove
)
Apparently someone got to Moon and left HW there. That's something nobody should try to disprove.
Quite interesting that Hollywood (First Man) and now Nvidia is trying to prove their fakery. Let's be real, we never left low Earths Orbit let alone went to Moon. I cannot go into technical details why it was impossible then and still not possible however that is about to change with the technological advancement in the past 10 years. Hopefully we reach Moon and Mars in the next 30 - 40 years which is the most realistic prediction.

A very nice demo, it's good that Nvidia is introducing this technology.
BUT...
I can imagine that Entizias will buy 2080 Ti for 1200 $ but I can not imagine that someone from the 4k@60fps monitor or 21: 9@100fps will return to full HD.

Makes things much easier when you do not need to send rays in almost 50% of sphere as they went with "star-less" sky. Which is quite accurate on Sun lit surface of Moon as it is too bright in comparison to stars/galaxies in sky.
