If it was all faked, why didn't the Soviet Union deny it? They had their own space program with lunar satellites, they were tracking the Apollo 11 flight, and if the Americans didn't land there then the Soviets had every incentive to call them out for faking it.

this is the main argument against a moon landing conspiracy and it certainly is compelling that both them and the chinese would know it was fake just via satellite reconnaissance alone

It's my go-to counterpoint to moon landing conspiracy theorists because there is no reasonable argument against it. The physical evidence and data itself is undeniable, but it is hard to explain succinctly. The fact that the Soviets didn't try to deny the US landing though, there's no real explanation for that other than "it actually happened".

I've thought the same thing. Its a pretty good argument.

I don't know, probably because at the time they believed it? Remember, they didn't had Internet. Most soviets didn't have TV even.

I'm talking about the Soviet government. They had their own space program with lunar satellites. They had the capability to track Apollo 11 and to independently verify the landing, with every incentive to call out a fakery.

Its not that I don't believe the US government would lie about landing on the moon... its that I don't think they could have kept that a secret for this long. To many would know, to many would be able to disprove it and would love to as someone else pointed out.

Few enjoy espousing the most meta conspiracy theories and facts you've ever heard as much as I do, and yet I find moon landing truthers to be nearly as retarded as flat earthers. That's not to say we for a fact did land on the moon, just that the quality of truther evidence and narrative is piss poor and if they were right it would be the most inconsequential thing you could focus on... the US has space dominance regardless of what anyone thinks.

So you find natural for the hair to always stay fit in one direction when there is no gravity.

10 sats \ 2 replies \ @justin_shocknet 18 Feb

no gravity

micro-gravity*, truthers should first and foremost get facts straight

.. and yes, are you claiming you have some better first hand knowledge than anyone to predict exactly how it would move including unlimited systemic variables like static and surface tension?

That's not even moon landing theory, that's can we put people in orbit theory... that's wholly retarded.

And the people that spend the most money (in the private sector) putting shit in orbit other than telecoms are materials companies doing experiments on how shit behaves in relation to other shit in micro-gravity.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @javier OP 19 Feb

lol, surface tension. Sorry, sir, your explanation doesn't convince me.

So, if something sounds odd, we must by default believe the gov, becasue of "unlimited systemic variables"?

The space program research and development has yielded trillions of dollars in subsequent technological innovations. Governments have both the mandate and ability to drive such pure science frontier developments. Private capital would lack the motivation. Industry and commerce benefit from the trickle down of the resultant new technology. Another example of the state being a significant factor in the wealth of nations.

Crowdfunding. Millions of people would pay small amounts, just for the fun of it. Like zapping for going to the moon. But I guess that could end up in scamming people.

0 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined 18 Feb

I think it's a mix.

I've seen sufficient evidence of the Moon Landing itself: in particular, they left corner reflectors up there that anyone with a powerful enough laser can find. We did that in one of my undergrad physics classes, and loads of other people have replicated the test.

I've also seen enough evidence to be convinced that a lot of the documentation of the Moon Landing was fake.

Maybe, they just didn't have the communications and photographic technology to make it work (or were sufficiently concerned about that), so they filmed and recorded a bunch of stuff on Earth.

yeah it seems like subsequent landings were real but the first with armstrong may not be and that is why he never did interviews and just disappeared

7 sats \ 0 replies \ @zapsammy 19 Feb

you mean the subsequent landings looked more real than the first one? Hollywood got way better in the same time frame. not implying causation, just saying there's a correlation with the how believable ~~mind control operations~~ movies became. the most mind-blowing discovery for me was that many mass casualty and other dramatic events ~~are~~ cud be staged, and unsuspecting observers literally say "it was as if we're in a movie."

That theory is strange. Why would a gov half scam their population? They could go in full scam and save all the money invested for their own corruption.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 18 Feb

There are a bunch of proposed explanations. One of which is that it was a backup plan, just in case the pictures and videos didn't survive the radiation belt. Or, if the broadcast didn't work.

The Moon Landing was such a huge deal culturally and had cost so many resources that it would have been a huge let down if people couldn't see it.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 18 Feb

tell me that you are willing to fly to the moon with that junk...

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 18 Feb

I'm not even saying definitively that people stood on the Moon, but something put those reflectors there and people are the most likely candidates.

Also, whether or not I'm willing to do something is not the right test. People do all kinds of crazy shit that I would never do and the internet is full of documentation for that.
