I’m convinced that the Moonlanding was fake. One of the best arguments I’ve heard so far is that the “arts and crafts project” that you were talking about, the moon lander, had to take off from the moon and meet the orbital velocity of the shuttle above in order to dock it. In other words, the space shuttle was orbiting the moon at extremely high speed, and that popsicle stick moon Lander had to bring itself to those same speeds in order to mount the shuttle.I don’t know the exact numbers, but it would to have had to go damn fast.On top of the extremely precise calculations that would have needed to be made and exact speeds met or you end up in the middle of outer space. And that crap sure as hell doesn’t look capable of doing anything like that. Looks like it would fall apart at 20 miles an hour. NASA has admitted we are not capable of landing on the moon in this modern age. That isn’t hard evidence necessarily, but there is a lot of that too
Edit: Not the space shuttle, the spaceship.

LMFAO! The space shuttle didn't even exist when we were landing on the moon.
The rocket/ spaceship. I used the wrong word
Orbital velocity on the moon is only 1500-1600 m/s. It's not that fast, and the calculations aren't that hard. I landed on the moon in KSP:RSS 3 times yesterday.
It's a simulation yes, but the engineering and math are right on.
Only about a mile per second... a mile is almost 1700 meters
Yeah, vs 7800 m/s which is Earth's orbital velocity.
It's not nearly as hard, that's why moon SSTOs were a thing in the 60s and they're still not for Earth today.
