I hate that I'm starting to believe there's a very real possibility we faked the moon landings.

We most definitely faked it. It requires a lot of fuel to make a craft return to earth and slow it down to prevent it from combusting in the atmosphere, let alone crash into the earth. They didn't solve that problem during the '60s-'70s. Also there's the Van Allen belt which guarantees death by cancer if you pass through it. Also the astronauts sounded terrified when they were interviewed after the supposed landings and they couldn't even remember whether or not they saw stars. They initially said they didn't see any, then later retracted their answer and said they did see them (since that's what science predicts should happen).

--> Apollo astronauts don't remember seeing stars on the moon.

--> Buzz Aldrin confesses we never went to the moon

Nice links!

If we faked the moon landings, how did we get a mirror up there to reflect lasers and judge more precicely the distance.

Did you see that mirror? Or he lasers? lol

Obviously no, I haven't physically been there, but here is an interesting read about them: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/laser-beams-reflected-between-earth-and-moon-boost-science/

The neat part of being a conspiretard is you can choose what science you will accept as actually happening. Wave your hands and say "they are lying about that too" and bob's yer uncle you can dismiss it!

The part that separates conspiratard from scientist, is when a piece of data challenges our current models or views, as a scientist we investigate and update our models if need be, where as the conspiratard will only cherrypick things that support their initial theory, and sow seeds of doubt with anything else, no matter how unlikely or absurd if it helps their case.

You're a scientist?

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Unironically every reason it's fake, if you jump on duckduckgo, you'll find actual science people explain the engineering and logic behind why it worked. My favorite was a coworker of mine who tried to prove it was fake by telling me how thin the skin was, that a screwdriver fell right through the skin, etc. and I sent him information regarding the pressures inside soda cans and the thickness thereof, compared to the apollo capsule. I think that finally got through to him.

they lost the moon landing data? i find that hard to believe.

[–]LarrySwinger2[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yep. They lost everything!

[–]hfxB0oyA 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I call shenanigans. One of the landings left a mirror there that is used to this day to do distance measurements by bouncing a laser off it.

[–]LarrySwinger2[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm open to the possibility that remotely controlled craft landed there, that's separate.

--> Apollo 11 missing tapes.

--> Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits.

They literally claim to have lost the technology to get there again. As in "we can't built another Saturn 5 rocket because all the people who built the originals retired and only they know how to do it".

You have to be stupid AF to believe that excuse. That is NASA's official excuse.

[–]blackvoodoowhitesnow 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

after learning trigonometry and biochemistry i feel like the answer to getting there is soooo obvious. also, we land shit at docking bays traversing our atmosphere.... i think we can do it.

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

So you think when NASA says they don't have the technology to get a human to the moon they are lying? Why are they lying?

[–]blackvoodoowhitesnow 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

no, no. however, i think they know what they did. doing it again is obviously something that needs lots of practice since one small oversight will kill the whole crew and waste a billion dollars. i am a belieber of practice makes perfect. and i think THAT is what nasa is doing. They are looking for more secure ways before they do it again, because it is very dangerous.

i mean. i wouldn't trust someone who didnt look at their work. usually scientific work is saved by their journals. and the fact that they say "the ones who did it dont want credit" seems like a lie.

Is Ford too stupid to build a Model A from the original plans, or what's your reasoning there

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Is the model A capable of out performing every other car in existence? What don't you get?

[–]turtlew0rk 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I mean I know how to get there if that's the problem I can probably help. I know right where is. So long as it's not cloudy out that is.
