This is one of my favourite anti-hoax vids: https://youtu.be/sGXTF6bs1IU

This is awesome. Saved, thank you.

Atarian

No problem!

Where? I'm on page 7 and the author has only provided flimsy arguments that someone who's never studied phsyics would think are valid.

Gravspeed

The moon, not mars. A few orders of magnitude difference there.

Also, you don't need several thousand people to lie about how a blockbuster film was made.

The collected lunar rocks are an obvious forgery. And survival to old age of men who passed through the van Allen radiation belts has not been satisfactorily explained. To assume the federal US government has been honest about ANYTHING since at least 1950 is a form of lunacy in my opinion. Plus Gus Grissoms own family claim he was murdered and the whole thing is a fraud, so....

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The supposed and isolated series of moon landings and subsequent loss of all video evidence by known liars is highly suspect, to say the least.

Drenki

We worked out a majority of the math in physics class. I bet you have never even looked at the moon through a telescope, but you'll believe some half-reasoned fiction.

Drenki

When something begins like this:

It all began a few months ago, when I became very busy at my day job as well as with family drama and with what turned out to be a very time-consuming side project, all of which made it increasingly difficult for me to carve out chunks of time to work on the remaining chapters in the series. Over the next two months or so, I pretty much lost all momentum and soon found it hard to motivate myself to write even when I could find the time.

You can bet, 100%, you are reading a piece of fiction. None of this is related to NASA, the moon, or even science in general. This is what's called "setting the stage" - the author is giving you some easily beleivable information, building trust with the reader, so that later a tall tale becomes much more believable.

This is creative writing 101.

It was faked by the patriarchy - why else would they make rockets look like penises. They are just lording their power over us.

Gravspeed

Fact of the matter is, it is easier to go to the moon than to fake it.

RedditIsPropaganda23

your post is flat out wrong.

Gravspeed

Care to elaborate?

RedditIsPropaganda23

it is easier to go to the moon than to fake it.

lol

RedditIsPropaganda23

Let's have a competition - you go to the moon, and I'll fake it. We'll see who can do it.

If someone believes the moon landing is faked, how hard of a stretch is it from there that they could have faked these pictures?

Hektik

not really escalated but it seems like an agreement on these terms. Russians are agreeing the US and themselves to the moon. KSP for the math or difficulty to get their in terms of showing the average person what it takes. Thank you for your post because that supports why the russians didn't make up the conspiracy theory.

Hektik

While that is true, people that think we didn't land on the moon are obviously useful idiots to discredit actual conspiracy theories. The russians admit we were there and we have lazor reflectors to measure the distance of the moon. It's idiotic to say we never landed on the moon. As well anyone that plays Kerbal Space Program know how hard/easy it is to get there from the getgo.

Also, people who don't believe in the moon landing are being equated with people who believe in flat earth as well.

I mean, believe all you want, not going to try to persuade you to believe what I want. The one losing IQ points is you, and luckily it's not contagious.

I think people that believe the moon landing was faked deny a lot of proven science facts just to keep believing it was a hoax, and when science gets in the way, it's a yes or no answer.

For me it's like comparing them to people that say there's a wage gap, when it's proven with math and statistics that no, the wage gap doesn't exist, but they deny all proven facts to keep believing their half-assed reasoning.

Drenki

Until one of these moon-landing hoaxers can actually dish out some equations showing why it's impossible, instead of simply repeating their misinterpretations of things other people have written, there's no reason to believe it was faked.

It is very likely, however, that fake footage was prepared in the event there was some kind of disaster, as a contingency plan.

I guess actually looking at the surface to see the footprints left behind is just too much of a burden for them.

Sameblamegame

I think this theory is just to detract focus from details about the moon landing that actually are fuzzy. Everyone assumes so hard that there was no foul on the moon landing. Maybe there was and we're simply entertaining the wrong details.

We were on the moon. Doesn't mean there isn't more to that story that is being kept under wraps.

Not implying that crazies are right, but that it'd be arrogant to presume nothing was shady about the operation. Especially when you consider the government in question here.

Crazy shade shouldn't ruin any legit probing simply because the common reaction to crazy is an irrational or deliberate shunning of the topic.

The more a topic becomes socially untouchable, the more likely there is something we're not considering.

Sure we've been on the moon. Is that really all there is to it?

Typical ad hominem shuck and jive

Warden

deny a lot of proven science facts

Yeah, ad hominem.

pitenius

Well, that would be retarded.

The moon landing was (probably) faked long before Reddit was founded. Duh.

Also, I love the flat earth because it reveals how poorly the "science" crowd can explain their dogma. They miss the best proofs and resort to name calling. I'm fairly certain the earth is round, but those are precisely NOT the people I esteem on other topics.

Because unreddit is always illuminating

ambissinistro

Why the fuck would mods remove so many comments on a conspiracy subreddit? Are they all retarded? Let people say what they want!

is there anywhere to view all photos?
