We may or may not have gone to the moon. I don't know. There's a lot to look at both ways.

But. BUT.. it's an absolute certainty that fake footage was made here on earth.

This.

I don't know if we landed on the moon. I wasn't there. Frankly, I really don't care if we did or didn't.

But film makers did "recreate" film of missions leading up to the actual moon landing because technology didn't exist to get the actual footage.
IMO, it's a bit coincidental that the technology was then made possible right at that time.

Not only did we do it once, but we did it another 10 times or so afterwards.

Yes, people are that dumb. Maybe a few of them who've seen the Interstellar meeting with the science teacher get a pass. After all, it WAS a science teacher. But they're still dumb. Perhaps dumber because they didn't realize the scene was meant to convey how stupid the country had become.

I was the only one in the entire office that didn't think the moon landing was a hoax

You work in the dumbest office in all of America. Congrats I guess

That's not easy to fake, fool the entire world and then keep it a secret with all of the people that would have had to be in on it.

My Astronomy prof at A&M is actually working on the worlds largest telescope being built in Chile as part of the Magellan program I think?

Anyway, he said anyone who doesn't believe in the moon landing is an idiot.

We know the exact distance to the moon because astronauts left reflectors so lazers on Earth could take measurements. The only way to do that would actually be on the moon.

Thanks to this we now know that eventually the moon will slowly get further and further from Earth before leaving its orbits in ...I believe he said 500 million years? Maybe a billion....but a long fricking time.

Aliens brah. Aliens

Three pages and no one has brought up Capricorn 1! OJ was an astronaut!!

On May 16, 1960, Theodore H. Maiman operated the first functioning laser,[16][17] at Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, California, ahead of several research teams, including those of Townes, at Columbia University, Arthur Schawlow, at Bell Labs,[18] and Gould, at the TRG (Technical Research Group) company. Maiman's functional laser used a solid-state flashlamp-pumped synthetic ruby crystal to produce red laser light, at 694 nanometres wavelength; however, the device only was capable of pulsed operation, because of its three-level pumping design scheme. Later in 1960, the Iranian physicist Ali Javan, and William R. Bennett, and Donald Herriott, constructed the first gas laser, using helium and neon that was capable of continuous operation in the infrared (U.S. Patent 3,149,290); later, Javan received the Albert Einstein Award in 1993. Basov and Javan proposed the semiconductor laser diode concept. In 1962, Robert N. Hall demonstrated the first laser diode device, made of gallium arsenide and emitted at 850 nm the near-infrared band of the spectrum. Later, in 1962, Nick Holonyak, Jr. demonstrated the first semiconductor laser with a visible emission. This first semiconductor laser could only be used in pulsed-beam operation, and when cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures (77 K). In 1970, Zhores Alferov, in the USSR, and Izuo Hayashi and Morton Panish of Bell Telephone Laboratories also independently developed room-temperature, continual-operation diode lasers, using the heterojunction structure.

Yes we went to the moon.
How do you explain all of the satellites in space if we never went to space?

You realize going into space and going to the moon are not the same thing right?
