Exactly and if it were faked, all those Saturn 5 laucnhes were faked too? Those weren't real rockets launches, they were a bigger version of those stupid Marionette Puppet toys from “Captain Scarlet’’.

I read some of the moon-denial material with an open mind, and came to a couple of conclusions.

First, we went to the moon.

Second, there's a concerted effort, and not just by nutballs, to perpetrate the "we didn't go to the moon" belief.

Everything we watch in the media is a "show." Part of what's happening now seems to be a concerted effort to make people crazy, to get them to bite each other without thinking. Some of these guys really believe it, but some of them are paid operatives.

Just took a vacation to Florida that included a day at Kennedy Space Center. So much nerd fun! Walking along the Saturn V display was amazing. And the Atlantis shuttle ... absolutely breath-taking.

We have been there many times. Amazing also is the control room completely restored with original equipment.

Really miss the shuttle return with the double sonic boom. Still watch launches from or back yard.

Seems like a lot of work to go through to "fake the Moon landings", eh?

I you have a good telescope, can you see items that we left behind on the moon? (ie. flag, rover, etc.)

Only if you can take that "good telescope" to the moon, and view these items from the surface or lunar orbit. No telescope is going to view them from earth. Even the Hubble can't resolve them.

It makes people of limited intelligence and few accomplishments feel big to think they’ve got the inside line on the “truth” about something that they never could have had any part in.

The alien moonbase on the dark side complained. Heh.

“I always wondered where the ground based telescope pics of the landing site were/are??
Are there any?”

The moon is a quarter million miles away. Even without the atmosphere in the way, the optics don’t exist (and probably can’t) that can resolve anything as small as the landing site and the artifacts (and tracks, etc) left behind from that distance.

We used to have a Flat-Earther or two, as well; but I haven’t seen them in a while.

The moon landings were fake and so were automobiles.

The automobile was never invented.

Sorry to break the bad news. I have a bicycle trip coming up.

Yes! Very cool experience.

No doubt!

My first trip there, a shuttle was scheduled to launch. It got scrubbed. This recent visit, there was a rocket launch scheduled ... scrubbed. We were hoping the Falcon Heavy would be delayed by a couple of days so we could see it, but that didn't happen. Bummer.

This is about as close as I've seen so far.

I have a buddy who is very intelligent YET will spout non-stop about chem-trails, HAARP, Fluoride in the water, depleted uranium used during the Gulf War, 9/11 was an inside job, Sandy Hook false Flags, Boston Marathon Crisis Actors etc etc etc.....

The Chem-trail crap really gets me.
Apparently thousands of aircraft take off every single day to coat the atmosphere and earth with some yet unknown substance, some say it’s aluminum based but yet somehow it’s totally kept secret....kinda like the moon landing fake.
Many say the chem-trails are meant to control the weather others say it’s meant to control us.
He loves to point out which clouds in the sky are real and which are chem.
unbelievable...

There’s pictures of Apollo spacecrafts in transit from earth-to-moon and back. Pictures by institutional astronomers & amateurs but that’s the best you’re going to do. 50,000 miles is the furthest out I remember.

I had a likewise rational, logical, intelligent friend who was immersed in Tesla. He tried to convince me that sound is on the electro-magnetic spectrum, among other nonsense.

I have a professor friend who for awhile was president of the Tesla Society. He was constantly fighting off all kind of nonsense about Tesla. Your example is one of 100s!

Ask Whoopi Goldberg. That’s how she spent the 40th anniversary, talking up ‘faked’ rumors.
