"If the lander was so unstable and difficult to fly in the controlled environment of Earth, then how could the LEM land six times flawlessly in the alien environment of the moon?"

Earth's environment is not controlled, there's varying wind, humidity, an actual atmosphere, and a whole lot of extra gravity to punish you for your mistakes. The moon would be a lot more forgiving, but they choose to not only skim over this detail, but actually suggest the opposite.

I think the most educational part of the video is learning to catch people pulling acts of misdirection, and trying to sneak deceptive language past you.

There was another one that stood out, where they're complaining the LEM's rocket didn't make as much noise as the rocket launching from Earth... there being no sound in space might be a factor? Lifting more weight in higher gravity? But no, let's ignore all that.

I had to turn it off, it was annoying me too much. There may well be a conspiracy there, but they're not doing it any justice. If anything I think the whole show is a psy-op designed to discredit conspiracy theories in general.

I agree they discredit themselves a lot. Like the part where they state the guys in shadow should be near invisible. On EARTH you get enough light from the moon to see by. Just imagine on the moon itself, in a small 20 foot ring of shadow... Doesn't the lunar surface reflect light back onto objects? Yeah, no, it would be brighter inside the LEM's shadow than under a single large tree in broad sunlight.

The lunar surface would only reflect 5% of the light. On earth, light gets scattered through the atmosphere which brightens things, but the moon doesn't have an atmosphere. So they would in fact be nearly invisible. The biggest problem with that image is that the astronaut was as bright as the lunar surface in direct sunlight.

Evidence? I don't buy it. Not one second. That surface reflects WAY MORE than 5%. Hell the moon gives us probably 5% of the light that we get from the sun.

EDIT: If I'm reading this correctly, you are right, the moon reflects very little light, but it's still 12%: https://wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2015/08/06/why-is-the-moon-so-bright/

Which is probably more than grass itself, discounting the atmosphere.

Also, yes Earth has more AMBIENT lighting, but that's also the point with the moon's reflectivity: the light isn't diffracted around before hitting its surface. It's literally ALL of the sunlight sent its way.
