Earthrise taken from moon orbit....it doesn't change that the Earth's enormity should still be apparent. The distance from moon surface to moon orbit is still minimal compared to distance from moon to Earth still being 230,000 miles.

The diagram of Earth and moon with a line between is to scale. That line represents the 230,000 or so miles to scale with the size of Earth and moon to scale.

The Earth is enormous compared to moon. So when we view the moon from the Earth it appears 'x' big in the sky, so therefore, very simply, the Earth should/would appear 'y' big in the moon sky, not the same 'x" big

It's very simple and tell-tale.

Yes, there is a tons of evidence the moon landings were faked, multiple light sources, etc etc. I was just calling this particular "earthrise" to attention.

Another great bit of evidence is that leaked video from inside the spaceship mid-flight, where one of the astronauts is putting a printed image of the earth on the window to simulate the Earth, like a test run, an outtake. Again, even mid-flight, the Earth would be even huger, so they wouldn't see the Earth in its entirety in a small window, all they would see is blue if looking back that way.

I wrote the distances and sizes above. It is different than you think.
Did you mix up miles and kilometers? Seems like it.

There is a good wikipedia page that goes into all moon conspiracies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories
It lists a lot of them, and explains how certain mistakes were made by the conspiracy thinkers.
It has also good material for a possible discussion.

Thanks for your responses. Yeah, I've read that Wikipedia page before. Doesn't alter the belief the moon landing was faked, as there is so much evidence for it.

It would be great to compare your ideas to those on wikipedia, so people can see where you differ in "evidence". Because I see a lot on the page already.
