The dumbest part about this conspiracy isn't just that you believe literally thousands and thousands of American scientists and engineers are lying about the project. You also have to believe that millions of scientists across the world from every country on Earth, even America's enemies, are willingly joining in on the conspiracy just to make America look good. Even scientists are too stupid to see through America's lies, while you know better than them having thought though that shyt for 20 seconds when you haven't even stepped foot inside a NASA base before.
That's actually one of the biggest cases for it being true. Even the Soviets had to acknowledge that the USA got to the moon first. It was a huge L for them and a propaganda win for the USA at a time when they were NOT taking L's from the USA. I mean, two years later they damn near went to nuclear war with us, but you don't think they're gonna tell the world that the moon landing was fake?
Watch a 1959 movies and then tell me how fake that looked. They weren't remotely that good at faking film yet.
What do you want us to do there? It's a ball of rock and it's expensive as hell to send people back and forth. We got the basic samples, you think we'll keep going that far out just to take more selfies?
You're being smart-dumb now.
In the 1900s we could pilot planes but we couldn't make a movie in color.
In the 1910s we could fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean. But we couldn't even add dialogue to a film yet.
In the 1940s we could create atomic weapons that could destroy entire cities and sent entire flights of bombers across the Pacific Ocean. But the pinnicle of special effects was gluing a fin to a baby crocodile and making it fight a lizard.
THAT was the Best Special Effects Oscar winner for 1940. Many people consider it the greatest sci-fi movie of the 1940s. THAT is the level of film-making we're talking about.
This is the movie that won the best special effects Oscar in 1959, the year we landed on the moon:
This is Forbidden Planet, widely recognized as the greatest space movie of the 1950s
In order to believe the moon landing was faked, you not only have to believe that literally tens of thousands of NASA employees were simultaneously lying about what they were working on without ANY leaks, and that millions of scientists around the world are caping for them, but also that NASA secretly developed cutting-edge film technology far ahead of what anyone anywhere in the world was doing at the time. So you've literally created a cutting-edge technological innovation in order to claim that the other cutting-edge technology innovation is fake.
