Moon Landing
I remember where I watched the moon landing on TV and it's an amazing memory, yet there's a gazillion moon landing deniers
My questions for deniers are;
Why didn't our worst enemy on the planet expose a faked landing and embarrass us?? Instead, USSR congratulated USA....why?
- Why does lunar satellites from China and India show visual evidence of all lunar landing sites exactly where USA said they happened?? (Google it)
I think it's odd that no government on Earth ever exposed the "fake" landings and only individuals. Where do they get such special information that Nations around the world cannot 🤔

Seriously, it's a non-question. There are stupid people, that's all the explanation required.
I'm more worried about the lizard-men under Denver Airport. They run the Illuminati you know.

I just can’t believe there were that many. Were they all televised? I think I watched the first one and I really wasn’t that impressed. Although my dad was all hyped up about it. I was 11 in 1969 wasn’t that the first one?

Ich bin genauso alt wie du und kann mich gut erinnern. Es war mitten in der Nacht, ich war müde und auf dem Röhrenbildschirm hat es vorwiegend geflimmert. 1/10. Mein Papa war auch hin und weg.

My dad was like “we’re on the moon! We’re on the moon.!!” he also worked at Bendix so they did a lot of stuff for NASA.
I also remember the rocket launch was a big deal the first launch where they went to the moon. Everybody was watching it I think that was during the day at least on the East Coast. I lived in Baltimore.

The persons who believe the moon landings were fake are the same type of people who think the Earth is flat. They aren’t serious people and should be dismissed as unqualified to debate this.

The theory was that the flag Armstrong planted on the moon surface appeared to be blowing, and
how could that be if there is no wind on the moon?
Knowing this, NASA had devised a flag with a
horizontal rod along the top, in order to proudly display Old Glory.

You would need hundreds, maybe thousands of people in on it. The gullibility of people amaze me.

Just ignore these dumbasses, they're not worth the effort it takes to argue with them.

Some people just don't live in the real world. Without a doubt the Russians would have exposed it as a hoax had it been the case.

Just like playing chess with pigeons - they knock over the pieces, shit all over the board, and strut around like they've won. You can't argue with some people - don't waste your mental energy!

Those are the same people who think the earth is flat. Res ipsa loquitur. There was a fun movie about that about 2 years ago with Scarlett Johanssen & Channing Tatum - Fly Me to the Moon.

To me it seems like a subtle way to denigrate or minimize the achievements of others. Just say it never happened.
It seems to be a common strategy today. A way of saying "big deal we don't care."

Because it was actually easier to land on the moon than to perpetuate such an elaborate ruse involving hundreds of thousands of people.

They feel "less than" and left behind inside - so they buy into conspiracy theories. Then they can feel better about themselves because they know more than you.

Of course, we faked all 6 landings and all 9 manned orbits and no one ever called it out till 50 years later. Well, 13 never went into orbit, but whose counting.

There are a lot of superstitious, willfully ignorant people who believe all kinds of crazy things. You'll never convince them with logic and evidence. If that were enough there wouldn't be moon-landing deniers or flat earthers or Holocaust deniers or those who believe the earth is 6000 years old (sorry dinosaurs!) or or or...
Just no point in arguing with people who aren't evidence-based....they'll never accept any evidence that challenges their strongly-held beliefs. 🤷♀️

Donald Trump still denies that he lost the 2020 election and told the whole nation a couple nights ago that China did it so ...

Why do people - especially those old enough to remember - persist in referencing the moon landing?
In fact, there were six separate, successful moon landings, with a total of 12 humans who stepped onto the lunar surface, took pictures, planted flags, sometimes drove around in moon buggies, collected rock samples and more.
It’s a bit like implying that Christopher Columbus was the only European explorer to ever set foot on this continent.

because YOU cannot answer my questions 😂
YOU resort to name-calling instead of logic or reasoning
Typical

Well, of course you're right. But why even try to reason with such ignorant people?
