I can’t remember where I heard this or of it is true, but apparently it would have cost significantly more money to deceive the public with a fake moon landing than it would have been to fund the mission. When I think about the effort they would have put behind this ruse it makes sense as I’m sure the media was all over the event and the fakery wouldn’t have been isolated to a single broadcast.
CGI in 1988.
Actually the second moon turned out not to be a moon at all, it was a red herring and it was Earth All Along
Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!
The best argument against the moon landings being fake is the sheer amount of people involved in the Apollo project. Estimates go up to 400’000 people (with different levels of involvement). If it had all been fake, someone would have blabbed by now.
One of my favorite quotes is “The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead”, from some random western movie, but yes people love to blab.
And you cannot deny the truth of that statement. I know that quote differently, btw: “Two can keep a secret, if one of them us dead.”, and I think that was from “Yes, Minister!” 😃
Actually the best argument would be that the Soviets didn’t raise holy hell about it being fake.
Apollo 11 was able to be tracked by radio the entire trip to the moon. The radio transmissions and The television broadcast was unencrypted over plain radio. I’m sure the Soviets were able to verify the entire mission in real time. If there was even a hint that the moon landing was fake, the Soviets would have been throwing it in the US’s face the instant it happened.
You don’t think your conspiracies big enough. Obviously the Soviet Union was in on it, something, something New World Order. Nobody knows what’s to be gained for whom, but that is what conspiracy theories are made of.
This kills me the most. Most nations can’t agree on taxes or land boundaries or hundreds of other things, but they agree on space. Sure. That tracks.
Soviet probes were on the surface the same week Apollo 11 landed.
That is one of the other verifications, indeed.
Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!
They could basically just draw unshaded geometric shapes back then lmao
But someone has blabbed, why do you think it’s a conspiracy /s
who ever said that other than some random comment on the internet the traditional narrative is that they filmed it in the desert.
filmmakers can make the most bootleg looking set resemble a real place (just ask stanley kubrick) so there’s no question they coulda faked the landing in 69’.
these conspiracies always draw attention away from other thinking that’s more plausible than the quackery.
maybe they faked the manned moon landing but sent an unmanned probe to the moon, which is why the soviets didn’t make a fuss.
maybe the 9/11 attacks were real but the attackers were actually real guys who were persuaded to do it by some gov.
you don’t get that–you get ridiculous theories involving lasers and other far out shit.
I feel like you’re not very familiar with conspiracy/alternative theories.
I remember when I was in kindergarten and the teacher was cool for reminding us that Beast Wars is coming up soon in couple of hours, so we could have something to look forward to going home!
I used to watch it bleary-eyed af in the mornings before school in order to stay awake and not miss the bus.
I don’t think it was fake at all, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a denier say it was cgi. They say it’s a stage.
on the moon
The Moon landing was staged, but Kubrick insisted on shooting on location.
Am I a joke to you?!That’s why NASA conveniently lost all the video footage of the moon landing event, because they know we would laugh at how fake it looks if we could see it today.
A kiwi bird using a parachute??? Holy fuck, how did they do it?!?
They just strapped a parachute to a real kiwi, chucked it out of a plane and took a photo
This is one of my fave images of all time
Hey hey hey, don’t talk smack about Beast Wars. Hands down still one of the best damn Transformer shows out there. Writing was at least tiny bit better than G1 but what really made the show was the characters and dialogue. You don’t see a lot of shows with that kind of vibe/quality anymore.
Yes but the government had much better CGI that wasn’t available to the public yet, duh
/s obligatory
Opinions of the guy aside, I recall it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson who made the argument that it simply is cheaper and easier to go to the moon than to fake it and maintain the coverup.
Like, we can’t keep secrets for shit, but that’s the one that stays kept?
The whole thing was a PR exercise to get one over on the Russians. Why not spend 5% more for a backup strategy to “document” the event
They are already claiming that the Artemis mission was fake due to cuts between the camera shots on the livestream ಥ_ಥ
but artemis was fake. it didn’t grow on a tree. we had to build it.
unless someone can show me a damn rocket what goes to the moon tree
But it didn’t stay kept. We’re talking about it now and it’s synonymous with famous conspiracy theories.
