…….But in the words of a cynical internet meme: Pics, or it didn't happen. And, as Apollo moon-landing deniers have taught us, even pictures sometimes aren't enough to convince folks inclined to believe conspiracy theories.
So the Indian Space Research Organization — NASA's counterpart — obliged skeptics, sharing a photo of its Chandrayaan-3 lander on the ground, with one leg visibly sticking out. Not since Angelina Jolie presented at the Oscars in 2012 has a leg had such an illustrious moment. "And here at last is ISRO issuing an official post-landing image from the Chandrayaan-3 lander, which is the final confirmation we needed of a successful landing. Congrats to all those involved in the mission," said Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The space agency has since followed up with a two-minute video of the spacecraft descending onto the moon's surface. The video was taken by the Lander Imager Camera, which assisted in finding a safe spot to land — without boulders or deep trenches — during the landing. Another brief video shows the six-wheeled golden rover, Pragyan, rolling out of the spacecraft.

US moon and Mars missions are filmed in the Utah desert but doesn’t India have a desert too for this sort of thing ?
Thar desert.
Don’t let the flat earthers see it!
Thar desert is crawling with cobras and vipers. Are those seen in the video?
No.
Well, if the state department folks think it’s real then it must be. They still think North Korea and Russia failed at their last two attempts,, like anyone would know anyways .. just saying
Unlike the Utah desert, the Thar desert has no craters or low gravity.
I won’t believe it until I see a convenience store on the moon
I appreciate when the Flat Earthers self-identify by posting these threads or commenting on them. They join the vaxers, EVers, wind millers and climate loons.
LOL
BTTT!!!
There was a cartoon in the paper today that had the guy standing at a guardrail all excited and taking a photo.
“Stanley - for heaven’s sake - it’s a cliff! It is not the edge of the earth that you found!!”
But - I had the thought earlier today on that other thread - why don’t the flat-earthers just go to the edge of the earth and post a photo on Twitter?
If you actually believe that i question your sanity
I won’t believe it until I see a convenience store on the moon>>>. Must be a WAWA.
BTTT!!!!
