blind belief over reason poisons the mind and gets rid of healthy skepticism. I suggest you don’t understand being open to information and being possibly wrong on stuff you except as fact.... yes, I favor the moon landing as happening and yes I am open to being wrong on this fact because a lot of the info I have comes from trusting a source not actually looking into it myself.

To refer to my belief that the Moon landings happened as blind belief is an absurd statement. Thousands of people were involved in it and the run up to it. All documented from private companies and people. It is actually IMPOSSIBLE it did not happen. Every piece of verifiable evidences states as such. There are moon rocks, footprints, lasers, astronauts, eyewitnesses, etc...

because a lot of the info I have comes from trusting a source not actually looking into it myself.

How do you trust anything? 99.99% of your daily life is trusting a source that you have not actually looked into. From traffic lights to keys in doors to your house not collapsing on you while sleeping, to believing the sun will rise in the morning. How do you live with such uncertainty? I think your political and personal outlook determines the veracity of your skepticism because you probably don't have the same level skepticism on what you wish to believe which probably has an even lower level of corroboration and evidence than the Moon landings.

At each landing site, the astronauts placed retro reflectors. To this day, these retro reflectors are used to bounce laser beams off the moon by astronomers all over the world. The ranging measurements are used to solve for the lunar motion about the Earth.

In addition, Photos of each of the six Apollo landing sites photographed from low orbit by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter are available. ALSEP stands for Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package. The astronauts' tracks as well as the rover and other items are plainly visible.

Good grief, this stuff is not that hard to google. Some 'investigators' you deniers are.
