I wasn't referencing colonizing Mars. I also think that's pointless.
What is in space, though, that's extremely valuable to humanity, are mineral rich asteroids. These have the potential to radically reduce our scarcity of precious metals, which will make mining on Earth unnecessary/uneconomical and drive down the costs of new technology.
Do you think the moon landing was real? I believe that space exploration is a psyop. A complete myth. A fools errand. A distraction. Am I right? No idea. That's just what my gut tells me which isn't worth much to anyone other than me.

I do think the Moon Landing was real. They left reflectors up there that you can independently verify (if you have a powerful enough laser). We measured a reflection off the Moon when I was in undergrad and that only works because of those reflectors. Otherwise, the beam would be to randomly dispersed by the uneven terrain to return a coherent signal.
Where I do buy into some of the conspiracy stuff, is that the documentation of the Moon Landing does seem very sketchy and likely fake.
My personal theory is that the Moon Landing happened but the technology to record and photograph it didn't exist, so they faked that part for PR reasons.

Maybe. Solid theory. Remember not to trust but Verify. I don't have a big laser. So I go by what my intuition tells me. It didn't happen. There is a ton of information that would support my feeling. But there is always plenty of information to back up whatever our bias guides us to. The best I can do is meditate more and know myself better so I can make a better assessment of what I observe.

I also think in terms of Occam's Razor. Fabricating the entire Moon Landing and subsequent Apollo and Space Shuttle missions would require so many more people being in on it, than just fabricating the evidence.
reply
Maybe it's just fabricated evidence? I don't know how they might pull that off if it is in fact faked.
reply
Well, if you think the whole thing is fake, you must also think the evidence is fake. We probably have similar ideas about how they might have faked the evidence.
reply
Yeah. I have looked into a bit. I mostly go by what I feel though. Like I said there is good evidence for all points of views.
