I once believed the moon landing could have been hoaxed, it made sense to do at the time but we did have a rocket program many people saw the rockets launch, their trajectory was consistent with an attempt to escape orbit and the film brought back from space could not have been faked. Since you are asserting it was faked you need to provide some sort of proof if you want me to buy it but i know optics and perspective and i know what filmmakers have done with miniatures and the lenses they would have needed to fake the moon landing are impossible.
But try coming up with some proof, I'll grant motive but the reality is the soviets couldn't dispute it, beating the reds to the moon was a massive loss for them if you look at literature produced in soviet russia and the warsaw pact states that event is the demarcation where optimism and copium died behind the iron curtain.
I don't even care much about space it was my mother's interest foisted on me vicariously in childhood; but I have seen what I need to to know without a shadow of doubt that the theories against the moon landing round earth and space itself are based on ignorance and a rightful distrust of government used against ignorant and stupid people by government itself to make its skeptics and detractors discredit themselves publicly.
If the moon landing were faked wouldn't you see feds online in huge numbers trying to bury the truth, compare the treatment of moon landing deniers, flat earthers, and space deniers and how they and their rejection/denial is treated by government to how people who reject or deny key government positions about the Kennedy assassinations, the holocaust, 9/11, sandy hook, or the 2020 election.
One group is ignored by the government and allowed to spread without need for containment the other group are national security risks, terrorists, and insurrectionists that require the suspension of the constitution.
So I'll say it again prove to me the footage from the moon the orbit and walk are fake prove to me all of the long continuous shoots were faked and you've got me on your side. There are a few minor reservations i have about the electromagnetic field that suggest I'm missing a puzzle piece or there is an old classified technology I'm unaware of but that's the only gap that I can't totally plug with what I know at the moment.
and you've got me on your side
I doubt THAT's gonna happen lol. You sound pretty convinced.
There's a lot of info out there and a lot of youtube stuff so I would just direct you to that but again, I doubt you're going to change your mind.
Always amazing to me the differences here on Poal, somebody will upbraid Sandy Hook and say it's a hoax yet defend the moon landings till the cows come home.
You want me to ask Gene Kranz about it? Or Sy Leibergot (I know him too) played by Ron Howard's little brother in Apollo 13?
What do you think they'd say? Have you been to NASA (just curious). I've been in the belly of that beast twice and my friend works security there (on a bicycle of all things).
Give them an ask, I think you'll find you misunderstood something at some point. Never been to NASA but I know some pilots and a fair few airforce people and I used to know a number of hobbyist night sky watchers got pushed into it as a kid and as much as I've looked for and been presented arguments the only compelling things I've ever seen that detracts from the moon landing or the manned space missions is what I've heard about about the van allen belts but now that i just looked into it again, it seems they measured them the old fashioned way, Geiger counters on satellites. it seems the are more like bars of ionizing radiation around the planet that there is enough space to slip between in relative safety.
Well at least you're nice about it all.
