Normally I think you are insane with your LSU obsession.
I applaud the fact that you can actually critically think for yourself unlike 90% of the US population.
As to the moon landing:
In 1969, I was 9 years old. We had rabbit ears on our one TV set in our home. We were able to get 4 channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, & PBS). All 4 channels were broadcast from TV stations less than 25 miles from our house.
Cable TV didn’t come about till 1980.
Satellite radio wasn’t available until 2001.
Yet…. In 1969, I was able to watch a moon landing live on TV broadcast from over 240,000 miles away.
Neal Armstrong’s first step on the moon was broadcast from a camera on the surface of the moon. The only other person on the moon at the time was Buzz Aldrin up in the lunar module.
They wore these Teflon-coated fiberglass uniforms with thermal layers made of Mylar and Kapton. The temperature of the moon during daylight is 260 degrees F and during non daylight it’s -280 degrees F. Those flimsy uniforms we are told protected them from these extreme temperatures.
We are led to believe that these astronauts were able to survive travel through the Van Allen Belt. A region of intense radiation encircling Earth, discovered in 1958 by James Alfred Van Allen.
The Van Allen Belt of two doughnut-shaped zones filled with high-energy electrons and protons trapped by Earth's magnetic field. The inner belt (1,000-8,000 km altitude) contains protons from solar flares and cosmic rays, while the outer belt (13,000-60,000 km altitude) holds electrons energized by solar wind. These charged particles pose significant risks to both human spaceflight and electronic systems in orbit.
And… to top it all off, NASA lost all the data and information on how these Apollo missions were accomplished.
But… to question all this makes one a weird, crazy, idiot conspiracy theorist.

Would you then say that technology, especially computer science, was very advanced in the late 1960s? I think it is dumb of him to even mention microwaves and color TVs. They didn’t need color TV and a microwave to fly to the moon, land, survive, and then successfully fly back. They needed computers. But I get his point, technology was not that advanced in the 1960s.
I think you're trying to convince me you are smart here because you question. Meanwhile you're trying to tell me this is a very rare breed of dog that the government has tried to hide from us for years and I'm looking at a picture of a lion.

They lost some video that they still had other copies of. That was it.
Have extensive files on how they did it. It's all there. Now please tell me where you got your information here. Because I'm not finding it.

NASA has admitted to losing a significant amount of data and information related to the Apollo missions, including:
- Original Moon Landing Tapes: In 2009, NASA announced that the original high-quality video recordings of the first moon landing had been erased and reused due to storage limitations.
- Apollo Guidance Computer Source Code: Much of the source code for the computers that controlled the Apollo spacecraft was lost over time. While some code has been recovered from old tapes or printouts, much remains missing.
- Mission Logs and Transcripts: Many original mission logs, voice transcripts, and communication records have been misplaced or degraded beyond recovery.
- Technical Documents and Blueprints: Thousands of pages of technical documentation detailing spacecraft components, procedures, and testing data have vanished from archives.
- Film Footage: Hundreds of hours of film footage shot during training exercises, launch preparations, and post-flight debriefings are either missing or too degraded to be useful.
But… it’s not true lol

Here you go slugger, here is the answer.
It is the same reason other countries don’t leak lots of our secrets. They are more valuable to use as blackmail leverage than as a public gotcha. Other countries knew JFK was plowing Marilyn. They didn’t say a word. Other countries know most if not all of the people on the Epstein list. But they haven’t gone public. Once they do they can’t use it as leverage. That is the way blackmail works - I know a dirty secret, I will keep it if you play ball. Once a dirty secret is public it has little value. I can give you any number of other examples both large and small.
It is the same with the manned lunar landings, if they were in fact faked.
The other reason is simple and has been proven time and time again. If there is one thing that unites Americans it is to be attacked by a foreign enemy. We can hate each other and fight each other every day. But attack us physically or verbally, and almost all Americans will unite against the foreign enemy.
If you wanted to rally everyone around the US moon landings, the best way to do it would be for Russia to publicly claim they never happened. Skeptics would be knocking each other over to argue that they did happen. Because Russia said they didn’t.
The cold war space race was all about at least matching what the other side did. But when the U.S. landed people on the moon the Russians didn’t. Neither have the Chinese done it. Seems strange neither of them did it just to be able to say “see, we can do it too”.
If you want to believe something bad enough, you can concoct a narrative that lets you believe it and concoct a narrative to say anything you don't want to belive is fake. There have been some conspiracy theories proven real. But they almost always involved very few people in the real know. The longer you go with this one, the more people have to be involved with not one leak. At some point it's beyond reason.

Nope
-They only lost some of those videos. If they lost all of them, how could you still see actual tapes of the moonlanding that were broadcast on TV. And remember, it was all filmed in a studio, so why does that even matter. Do you think if they had the lost tapes you would be convinced? No, Conspiracy theorists are never convinced. Some wake up one day and realize how incredibly unlikely it is that all teh crap they believe happened really happened and come back to reality. Or they continue in their fairy tale land.
-The source code for the Apollo 11 is very much alive. Preserved by MIT engineers and uploaded to GitHub for years. You can literally go online right now and read the code that flew humans to the moon.
-The NASA History Office and the Lunar and Planetary Institute have digitized almost every single word spoken. You can find the Apollo Flight Journal, which contains second-by-second transcripts.
-The blueprints are on microfilm.
- Very little of the film footage has been degraded. Majority is stored in a climate controlled vault at the Johnson Space Center and still viewable.
Again, you will make the narrative you have to make so that it all works out for you.

Those temperatures aren't absolutes, those are just the wild extremes through which the temperatures can vary.
During the moon landings, temperatures were usually between something -9 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's fine to question things, but at least have a good argument as to why you're questioning it.
For the record, I think we landed on the Moon but I wouldn't doubt if some of the imagery was faked for "illustrative reasons".

Have you seen the size of the satellite dishes that were utilized to communicate with the Apollo missions? One of those things was over 200 feet. And you didn't watch it "live" in that there was a couple of seconds of delay due to moon being really far away. And your rabbit ears weren't picking up the broadcast from the moon, but rather a broadcast of a camera trained on a monitor that was connected to the satellite array.

Despite what Hollywood would have you believe, you wouldn't freeze immediately in space.
While it is cold, there's nothing to strip heat from you (atmosphere) along with that cold. You wouldn't actually FEEL the cold of space.
Your body would eventually freeze because after you died you would stop generating your own heat; however, protecting you from the "cold" of space would require very little.
Most of the suit is to protect against RADIATION, not cold.

At this point the conspiracy theorists don’t have a horrible batting average.
Well, they kinda do.
I'm not saying you don't have a point - you do - but picking the ones that end up being true doesn't exactly mean there's some great track record of being correct.
Basically, if enough people say enough things, some are bound to be true. That doesn't mean that they are even close to being "right most of the time."
Does the media "demonize" conspiracy theorists? I mean, when those conspiracy theories end up causing actual health concerns? Misinformation about proven facts?
The problem is that they can say a thousand things, get ten right, and pretend they never said the other 990 things.

One question any Moon landing denier can never seem to answer is why do other countries seem to agree that the US did indeed land on the Moon? Especially the Soviets, who would have had the most to gain by debunking a fake landing story. Sure, our government will lie to us but why are all of these other governments also lying to us?
Because they’re all Luciferians and they are in it together. They’re playing all of us like fools and people like you help them while they laugh at us, especially the people who buy into it.
Also space is fake as hell and aliens are not what they lead us to believe. I think they are demonic beings but they tell us they are physical and some ridiculously stupid shite like they’re from x amount of light years away lol.
Pretty much they want to make us feel so insignificant and turn away from GOD and trust their “science” and it’s working right now.
Earth is a special place and not this spec of dust in a vast cosmos like they’re leading us to believe

I remember people getting banned and suspended on social media for spreading misinformation during covid. Anything that didn’t align perfectly was labeled misinformation. And then we came to find out that the evil misinformation was no more incorrect or harmful than much of the official information we were shoveled.
Anytime anyone uses “misinformation” my radar goes off. That is another word, like conspiracy theory, that the media promotes. Censoring “misinformation” is great as long as you are the one making the decisions on what and who is blocked.
