The first one looks like a reworking of a prank video - it's full of faked footage inserting Kubrick into real scenes using footage from the filming of 2001.
I dismantled it here: onebigmonkey.com.

Cool video, Love the 2nd one! lol. 🤣 People should see the videos where Buzz Aldrin admits a few times that they never went to the Moon. They’re pretty interesting. Does make you wonder. Always bothered me that for so long now NASA has never went back and decided to get Astronauts to bring HD cameras to record footage of the Moon. That would be so cool to do but nope, So now they’re to go back but you’d think they would be able to already.
In the circulating video, however, Aldrin’s remarks are taken out of their original context and truncated to suggest he is describing the Apollo 11 mission as never having happened.
The Oct. 4 post features a video showing an audience member asking Aldrin, who is seated on a stage, what the "scariest moment" of his journey to the moon was. He appears to respond by saying, “It didn’t happen. It could have been scary.”
Anecdote about ‘extraterrestrial prank’ never really happened

and here's an odd video I found years ago:
I don't have much else to say about this footage, I just figure that some people here would find it interesting.

- How Did We Do It? -
We shot on original 1960's Ikegami Tube Camera in Mount Pleasant Studios in London. The guy in the suit is an actor. The rest of the 'cast' were basically the crew, who thought the idea was very funny and wanted to be in it. The landing craft and 'moonscape' were a set built by our art director, Richard Selway.
The ladder that 'Neil' descends was made according to original blueprints that were downloaded off the Net. The rest of the set was built to match the original as closely as possible.
The moon surface was cement dust. It was disgusting. Even with the studio ventilation on full it got everywhere, and at one point there was so much of it floating round, the lights were flaring really badly.
The footage was treated in post-production to give 'Neil' his weightlessness and the ghosting effect of the original.
We re-recorded and processed the soundtrack to recreate the effect of sound traveling al the way from the moon. We think it's pretty convincing, and one thing's for damn sure - it was a lot cheaper than really going to the moon.
