My sister once assured me the moon landings were faked. I asked her how many close friends she had. Five, maybe six she said. I asked how many of those she would trust to take a monumental secret of hers to the grave without ever telling anyone. None, she said.
There were over 400,000 people involved in the moon landings, and not a single one has ever come forward to say it was faked 🤷‍♂
Deserthiker · 61-69, M
@helenS which would require 400000 people , insulated from each other. Same goes with a flat earth, flawless fake space stations floating in a Hollywood soundstage since 1971.
Or in the case of the moon landings. Since 1968. And everyone who worked on the project was executed upon retirementt or put in a denuerolizer (men in black) I guess it is possible.
22Michelle · 70-79, T
@helenS Yes you're dealing with people for whom the absence of evidence that the moon landings were faked is proof they must have been faked........
helenS · 36-40, F
@22Michelle Yes that's how it works. 😐
I think parts of it were fake.
Like not sharing with the public that the moon is actually made out of cheese, and that’s where we’ve been getting all of our cheese from since 1969, because it tastes out of this world 😋
@Ghostinthemachine Right!! Wallace and Gromit PROVED the cheese hypothesis!!

@turbineman40 what's the proof that Apollo 11 went all the way to the moon and just not land in Antartica for a few days and return as if from space ?
walabby · M
Was it faked? NOT A CHANCE!
I watched and listened to the whole mission from start to finish.
Anyway, the USSR monitored the mission and would have been delighted to declare it fake.
It was real...
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Ferise1 The computing tech and communications are magic now.. But we still use chemical reaction motors to get the stuff up into the air and through space. Its way too heavy and way too slow..We need a different way of driving the whole thing. While those ideas are around, they dont work properly. An idea like cold fusion could set us on the path to the outer planets and stars.😷
@Ferise1
why can’t they go back today?

Who says they can't? As soon as you pay for the budget, they'll get right on it...

It's not that they can't... it's a, no one wants to fund it, as they don't believe they'll be getting enough money in return.

Heck, I believe they have said the Chinese are in the moon right now... some suggest they have mining helium 3 or something like that, which can be used for nuclear fuel or something like that.
walabby · M
@Ferise1 Been there, done that. Besides, it costs a lot of money, and the US government is spending a lot of money giving tax cuts to billionaires...
DrWatson · 70-79, M
No I do not.

What's that photo suppose to mean? Just because you drank the Kool-Aide, doesn't mean you were given a side-order of truth to go along with it, you know!

@DrWatson It looks like the moon is very windy, notice the flag?

Does anyone esse remenber what Niel Armstrong said when he turned and looked around after setting foot on the moon? He said "My God they're here and they're huge, the spaceships sitting over by that crater". Then NASA cut the feed for two minutes. There were thousands of HAM radio operators listening to this broadcast and recording it before the feed was cut. NASA has said since then they the whole landing on tape but somehow "lost" that tape with the missing two minutes. One of the most historic events in human history and the lost the tape!? Bullsh*t !!!

@Nitedoc see Zaphod42 comments I believe her story
As Neil DeGrasse Tyson has pointed out, it would probably be harder to fake the moon landing and get all the details correct as they have... including all the calculations, photos and videos which they still have not been able to successfully find clear faults in...

It probably harder to fake all that, then to actually successful complete the mission and do it for real.
@Ferise1 I already told you, and explain it to you...

You just won't accept reality.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
@sstronaut no you didn’t address that part

Do you have a heart on for NASA? And the government.? And liars in general?
@Ferise1 No, I the information already addressed it, your just not mentally intelligent enough to understand how someone could remotely do it.

No, I just explaining what factually happened.

Just because you denied reality, does not mean it's false. Just means your mentally unwilling or unable to comprehend reality and the truth.
It was real. Among other things, the Apollo astronauts left a bank of retroreflectors on the moon. A powerful laser plus a decent telescope is all it takes to independently detect your own laser light bouncing off that reflector. These guys did it, and you can too.


[media=https://youtu.be/VmVxSFnjYCA]
Of course I don't, and I can't believe it's 2025 and we're still litigating this, it's frightening that people are still this dumb (and in turn allowed to breed / vote), and I don't understand how any moon landing denier imagines their denial improves their lives, or what they get out of the denial. The nonsense details / questions they post have logical answers that are easily discoverable*, but the fact that they haven't already Googled such themselves just shows they don't actually want answers. If you actually waste your time going to the trouble to Google it for them, then they just simply claim that is "fake news" without offering any shred of evidence to prove it is "fake" .. they will illogically persist in denying mainstream and/or consensus-based sources in favor of their guru Donkey Rhubarb who has a page / channel on FaceTube and is the only human with acces to The Real Truth (and has zero expertise credentials) as opposed to millions of other people (including actual credentialed experts, witnesses who were actually there, and so forth) 🤦🏻‍♀

(* for example, why would your go-to position be that a camera was already in place, in advance, on the ground, rather than one was attached to or moved out of the lander?!?!)

How in any objective scenario in any subject area are millions of people wrong while hundreds of parroting sheeple are right?!?! That doesn't even make sense.

And it's possibly equally frightening how many people are capable of accepting some facts, like the moon landings (plural, not singular), yet at the same time, five minutes later, they will still act like a moon hoax aficionado about other generally accepted facts, and in turn do equally odd things like conflate weather and climate in order to deny climate change. They are hard to understand.

Conspiracy theorist is a spectrum, and the only good place to be is to not be on the spectrum at all, if you eschew this theory but embrace that theory (cherry picking your own preferred slice of conspiracy theories), we still have a problem with people accepting facts and reality. Humanity is still failing as long as a single conspiracy theorist insists on balking at reality, perhaps for no other reason than it makes them feel special to be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian.
@Achelois moon landing deniers be like "I ain't neva made a photo / video of me and my family / friends / acquaintances using a tripod with a timer / remote control" 🤦🏻‍♀

(in the case of Apollo 15, 16 and 17, the tripod you are looking for was the unattended lunar rover left on the moon ... no "cameraman" left to die on the moon needed)

Of course but I think some of the audio wasn’t available to public. I was always disappointed though that they didn’t have a blooper reel.
There are several places on our flat earth the moon landing video could have been faked. But I do admit with Bigfoot around some of those places are not ideal for the crews to film.

No not at all. It really happened ..several times.
YoMomma · 41-45
My dad does.. personally i think the reasoning behind disbelieving it is credible
Back in 1969, they allegedly sent a flush-riveted metal space ship into space containing a bunch of men, a shitte-load of video cameras, a Lunar Entry Module, plus flood lights on pedestals to prove they actually got there, but the amazing thing that always stood out in my mind was... who set up the video cameras on the moon which captured Neil Armstrong climbing down the ladder and making that very first footprint on the moon by a human being?

Maybe the camera crew who set up the video cameras were actually the first men on the moon, not Neil Armstrong?

But wait... there's more! Then everyone climbed back into the LEM and took off from the moon and somehow made it back to earth after having traversed the harshest conditions in space along their way which went flawlessly because after all, they were Americans and Americans do everything right except for what really matters, yet managed to land on planet earth completely intact and even did such a great job, that everything that's also found on earth was included in a space museum but was labelled 'moon rock'.... including the LEM itself!

Yet for some strange reason, a man has never set foot on the moon since! 😂

@helenS I like his title, Elvis Is Dead and I Don't Feel Too Good Myself. And his quote about marriage, that the next time he feels like getting married he would just find a woman he hates and buy her a house.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
In addition to the reasons everyone else has posted as to why I don't, there's a very simple way that anybody with a few hundred dollars can prove it was real. Purchase an astronomical telescope, then go to the following website:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retroreflectors_on_the_Moon
In the source documentation for the article, you'll find another website that contains the locations of several reflectors. Wait for a full moon, point your telescope at the moon, then use the website to find each reflector.

If we didn't walk on the moon, how the hell did those get there?

Yes, just based on the radiation from Van Allen belts.
Dutchess · 18-21, F
@LordShadowfire we have rovers on mars couldn't a rover have planted the flag? Just saying
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Dutchess Why is that somehow more plausible to you than the idea of a human crewed craft? We're talking about 1969. Computer technology was nowhere near advanced enough to safely land a ship on the moon, let alone run a robot with wheels across its surface. You are making no sense.
@Dutchess says
including the unpredictable nature of space radiation,

the radiation within the Van Allen belts is highly variable and influenced by sunspots. Specifically, the activity of sunspots and other solar events, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can directly affect the strength and shape of these radiation belts

Furthermore,
Apollo missions generally went during periods of relatively low sunspot activity, or at least during periods when no major solar events were predicted. The reasoning was to minimize the risk of space radiation exposure for the astronauts.

Furthermore,
Apollo astronauts did wear radiation monitors similar to those used by X-ray technicians. They used personal dosimeters to measure the cumulative radiation dose each astronaut received during the mission. These dosimeters were designed to record the amount of radiation the astronauts were exposed to during their time in space.

Measured radiation dosage across all missions: From 0.16 rads (Apollo 8) to 1.14 rads (Apollo 14); averaging .46 rads. The highest dosage is equivalent to about two CT scans.

FYI.. my comments on this thread were directed towards Mr. Brownstone and a couple others that chimed in. That's who's response I/we are commenting on, duh. I responded before anyone else even showed up.

@NerdyPotato As far as you know, they were founded in 1998. But the truth is, they were founded in 2077 by Isaac Google, who also invented time travel.
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
Actually, yes. The entire thing was staged under the direction of Stanley Kubrick. However, as Mr. Kubrick was a well-known perfectionist, he insisted that the entire film be done on location.
