I can’t remember where I heard this or of it is true, but apparently it would have cost significantly more money to deceive the public with a fake moon landing than it would have been to fund the mission. When I think about the effort they would have put behind this ruse it makes sense as I’m sure the media was all over the event and the fakery wouldn’t have been isolated to a single broadcast.
Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!
The best argument against the moon landings being fake is the sheer amount of people involved in the Apollo project. Estimates go up to 400’000 people (with different levels of involvement). If it had all been fake, someone would have blabbed by now.
One of my favorite quotes is “The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead”, from some random western movie, but yes people love to blab.
And you cannot deny the truth of that statement. I know that quote differently, btw: “Two can keep a secret, if one of them us dead.”, and I think that was from “Yes, Minister!” 😃
Actually the best argument would be that the Soviets didn’t raise holy hell about it being fake.
Apollo 11 was able to be tracked by radio the entire trip to the moon. The radio transmissions and The television broadcast was unencrypted over plain radio. I’m sure the Soviets were able to verify the entire mission in real time. If there was even a hint that the moon landing was fake, the Soviets would have been throwing it in the US’s face the instant it happened.
You don’t think your conspiracies big enough. Obviously the Soviet Union was in on it, something, something New World Order. Nobody knows what’s to be gained for whom, but that is what conspiracy theories are made of.
This kills me the most. Most nations can’t agree on taxes or land boundaries or hundreds of other things, but they agree on space. Sure. That tracks.
That is one of the other verifications, indeed.
Actually the second moon turned out not to be a moon at all, it was a red herring and it was Earth All Along
I remember when I was in kindergarten and the teacher was cool for reminding us that Beast Wars is coming up soon in couple of hours, so we could have something to look forward to going home!
I used to watch it bleary-eyed af in the mornings before school in order to stay awake and not miss the bus.
The Moon landing was staged, but Kubrick insisted on shooting on location.
I don’t think it was fake at all, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a denier say it was cgi. They say it’s a stage.
on the moon
This is one of my fave images of all time
Whole USA is fake. Columbus never discovered new continent he just faked it for money
This comment isn’t real. The government is just convincing the matrix to hit the dopamine button on my trans-dimensional I.V. that an elephant that only exists conceptually dreamed of while at the tail-end of a particularly hard trip while scumming it up at Slab City.
MAXIMIZE !!
TERRORIZE !!
then there was Waspinator: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The moon landing is easier to think of as faked now as we only get the highlights. Landing, flag and a few bounces. The actual moonwalk was a couple hours. They where setting up stuff, getting samples. Buzz was running around for some reason. People at the time had live evidence and where able to watch it at home.The only thing they didn’t have was chat distracting them and asking questions that had already been answered.
Not really, how many times have straightforward cock-ups happened with the government in your life? Large organisations fuck up constantly in mundane ways, history skews far more in favour of cock-ups than conspiracies.
Also if the moon landings were fake, the Soviets absolutely would have known and revealed it to the world.
Cockups happen all the time, but not on mankinds most impressive achievement.
I’m not saying the landings were fake. I’m suggesting the “live” telemetry was.
It smells of a “Dave was ment to look after that. All our other guys are doing important stuff. How can Dave mess up flipping the tape over and putting a new one on the deck. He would have to be an idiot.”
which one had the charlie browns?
I came for transforming monke robots, but what I got was the most kino character death out of all children’s cartoons.
Counter point - Actually good CGI in 1993:
The entire moon is just CGI. Prove me wrong, go there and live stream from the moon to show you can really stand on it. I bet you won’t.
Are these 3 dots real or CGI?
if you reeeaaaally zoom in, you can see it’s actually Epstein’s and Trump’s faces, along the 👌 emoji
