You do realize they are taking the piss out of people who think the moon landings are fake by pointing out it would be harder to fake the moon landing than to actually go to the moon

[@squidcaps4308]

When it comes to the moon landing, math is exactly what works. But, the main thing to remember is: USSR acknowledged it, they tracked the mission and congratulated USA. If moon landing didn't happen, don't you think the #1 enemy would be the first to talk about it?

[@jimb9063]

Putting aside actual evidence for a moment, this fact is the most compelling for me. The Soviets had worked out it was possible, and watched the US do it, before the time when the validity of everything is seemingly being called into question. A lot of BS thrown around in the Cold War, but for this they had evidence, they knew the US had evidence, so they acknowledged it. Don't imagine it would have crossed their minds to deny it, just too stupid a position to take. If it happened for the first time these days, I imagine one huge proportion of the world or other wouldn't believe it depending on who it was that did it.

[@timetraveler0002]

the apollo moon landings are fake, the artemis missions have been postponed so many times cos they are now actually trying to go, even recently there was a billionaire who set up a mission called the dearmoon project set to launch 2023 but that was postponed indefinitely cos he [this is my crazy theory tho] probly got clearance to be told that they faked it

Moreover, it was a worldwide scientific collaboration. Watch the movie The Dish, about the Australians who used their satellite dish to relay the signal from the Moon since nowhere in the U.S. was in line of sight. They were essential, as were several other nations who helped out. Awesome movie, too!

Not only that, scientists including Neil deGrasse Tyson have gone through the list of the conspiracies and gave scientific reasons why each of them were wrong.

I think I know where the rebellion comes from. It's from feeling that the facts "agreed upon" by the previous generations are not "what I signed up for, cause I wasn't there to 'sign' that agreement", hence "reinventing the wheel". The newer generations keep on wanting to set us back to problems that we already found the solutions for(the solution is what they perceive as the problem). For instance- Subjective Interpretation- ie: "Everyone has 'their' truth", while the Greeks combated that problem by ushering in Logic and Objectivity- thousands of years ago. Another instance- Handing the government all the power to decide and to regulate society... when that was a worldwide problem up to the time of the French Revolution, which democratized the world- and destroyed the Monarchy and consequently all similar politcal systems and put autonomy in the hands of the individual. A 3rd instance(and keep in mind, I'm black)- "Affirmative Action" (the idea of it).. when we, as a society, setup systems that would combat the prevalent problem of occupying stations and positions everywhere, without merit. A problem that has plagued humanity since forever. A final instance- "Identity Politics", ie: Dividing the populace into groups and managing them in that way... when... we had that problem for thousands of years and it's core consequence was "Tribalism" and class-based/caste systems.. We solved that problem ALREADY with the Magna Carta and consequently, the French and secondly, the American Revolutions.

[@philby27]

AHH someone beat me to it.... damn your eyes!

[@andrewhallam237]

There is a simple reason why you see no stars in photos taken on the moon. To take a photo of stars you need a longer exposure on your camera. The surface of the moon is extremely bright so the background stars don't show. Even though the sky is dark it was daytime on the moon when those photos were taken. Also, they put a big mirror on the moon and we shoot lasers to measure the exact distance which changed as the moon slowly drifts away from us at a rate of 1.49 inches a year.

[@AgentOccam]

No. The reason is as they said in this video: people will believe what the "Government" tells them, so there's no need to take care with things like flags and shadows and so on. Jeez, it's so obvious sheeple! Of course they spent all that time and money on faking the moon landing (six times, no less!) but didn't think to put stars in the background sky. 😄😄😄

The earth isn’t flat, gravity is real, the earth revolves around the sun, stars are not angels peeping through windows in the sky, we walked on the moon.

[@givaFlyingFiggz]

Aside from the massive rocket that was built and all the people who witnessed the launch on-site, and all the people with telescopes who watched the rocket take off and all the other countries who could triangulate the direction from which the astronauts were broadcasting from, the actual "movie-set" would be massively expensive. Consider the expensive lighting evenly distributing the light over a (at least) football-sized set. Close-ups of the astronauts' feet, as they stepped, show dust being kicked up and landing in a no-atmosphere environment. So the set would also have to take place in a vacuum, all to fool people in a detail no one even noticed for decades.

[@squidcaps4308]

Just to make the light rays parallel would've required lasers, worth more than US GDP from several years.

As an older guy, let me say once and for all, here's how you know the moon landing was real: 1969 was the height of the Cold War. While the Soviet Union didn't have the capability to send a manned spacecraft to the moon, they certainly had the capability of monitoring whether our spacecraft actually traveled to the moon. They would have loved nothing more than to embarrass the United States on a global scale - they didn't because they knew beyond a doubt that we had, in fact, landed on the moon. So there, proven and done with. (The Earth is, however, flat. You folks are correct about that one.)

They were also tracking the mission. 2, One of the key experiments was to leave a big retroreflector (a big mirror, basically) so that we could bounce lasers off the moon and accurately measure its distance.

Erm, did you just watch that and then still say “nahh, I’ve looked into it on google and there’s no way we actually went” and you didn’t realise how stunningly accurate you just made the sketch!? That literally WAS the joke! We went. The Russians were also picking up transmissions coming from the moon while they were there and would have loved to have exposed a fake, but they couldn’t because they were aware that the object they’d tracked all the way had actually landed! Why is this one such a difficult concept for people? We have GPS that works so we can clearly launch things into space! They also all left behind panels of corner reflectors at each site (it’s like a cats eye reflector - basically it’s a flat tray covered with half cubes that have been cut along the diagonal). The point is, they will reflect any light directly back towards the source and guess what, if you point a modesty powerful laser at the moon you get reflections after about 4 seconds from 6 different locations - all exactly where NASA claimed to have landed! What a weird coincidence! They actually have a purpose beyond proving idiots wrong though; by measuring the time delay we can tell the distance between the earth and moon and how much it’s changing (the moon is very slowly getting further away) which is interesting actually because it means that Billions of years ago it was much closer and a solar and lunar eclipse would have happened every month (which would have been much shorter). It’s amazingly lucky that we’re around when the moon is far enough away to appear almost exactly the same size as the sun so we get absolutely stunning Solar Eclipses and they’re probably amongst the most spectacular and rare phenomena that can occur in the universe and be visible regularly from any given planet!

[@Andrew-tf8jt]

The irony is fantastic...only in America 😂😂😂

tHERE IS A WAY TO FIND OUT IF WE WENT TO THE MOON ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO THE MOON AND SEE IF THE FLAG, LUNAR ROVER and other stuff they should have left are there.

[@paulhooton6261]

Please.Please. Believe me. I was alive (16 years old) when the moon landings happened. IF the USA had not actually landed ON the moon, the USSR would have called them out. The USSR, challenging the USA in every possible way since the cold war was happening, would not have kept quiet. They had all the tracking equipment needed to prove or disprove the landings. And what about all the other countries that also had tracking equipment? Britain, France, Spain, South Africa, Australia et al. Could the USA have made them keep quiet? And what the hell was Apollo13? Just a dummy on which Ron Howard could base his brilliant film? For God's sake people. Stop trying to revise history and examine the evidence.
