Actually the second moon turned out not to be a moon at all, it was a red herring and it was Earth All Along

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.
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.
Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!
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.
They could basically just draw unshaded geometric shapes back then lmao
But someone has blabbed, why do you think it's a conspiracy /s
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.
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 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?!
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
MAXIMIZE !!
TERRORIZE !!
then there was Waspinator: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Whole USA is fake. Columbus never discovered new continent he just faked it for money
This comment isn't real. The government is just convincing the matrix to hit the dopamine button on my trans-dimensional I.V. that an elephant that only exists conceptually dreamed of while at the tail-end of a particularly hard trip while scumming it up at Slab City.
