Actually
Imagine thinking Russia, who didn't like us back then, wouldn't have called us the fuck out if the landing was fake.
1 and 2 are not even mutually exclusive.
it's not unreasonable to believe the moon landing's live broadcast wasn't actually live. If shit hit the fan you would be broadcasting the death of 3 dudes and also broadcasting to the world how bad you are at the whole Cold War thing
It wasn't until we accidentally showed an out of focus nipple that live television delay really became a thing for that matter.

you know, i was pretty sure the moon landing footage was real, and I missed that poll about it, but now that you bring it up in this topic, I'm not so sure. Maybe it didn't actually happen?
Thanks for opening my eyes, red.

How would they prove their claim?
I almost want to delete this topic.
Especially since one recent post might actually be serious.
Who cares if people think we didn't go to the moon? Like I get generally not liking when people believe misinformation, etc, but someone thinking we didn't land on the moon doesn't really matter.
Hell, if the conspiracy is right, would that really matter? It was a propaganda stunt for a cold war that is long over. And the US government lies regularly.
Just doesn't seem worth getting too mad about
tl;dr moon landing deniers are dumb, but they're that way largely because of people like you.
and I've found a way to feel superior to both
because its a demonstrated and then exploitable science of how easy it is to convince people of literally anything. Its a bookmark for future bad faith arguments that can cause true harm to society.
As it is, if we had a televised debate with you and a moon landing denier, I'm pretty sure the denier could dance circles around you.
The truth is if you actually took the effort into learning why the moon landing is perceived as fake, you not only would actually learn something and probably gain a reasonable understanding of why there's skepticism amoung the general populace, but you would also actually understand the goddamn moon landing.

literal websites out there dedicated to it, definitely must be true then
've got news for you, they immediately stop at the first source(Which is fake and full of misinformation) and the fake sources pretty much -never- link or mention the real sources.
I saw this topic title, and without thinking went to check the poll of the day, came back and started reading. Got way too far in before realizing this topic was not created today.
I've been on TV, btw.
I'm not going out of my way to troll you. It was just a rather silly post that read like you haven't actually looked into it at all.
I mean Drakeryn started it after all!
No I actually was bored at work the other day and people were spewing conspiracy links on twitter and there was a really good dedicated website linked. I'm trying to find it for you but it was on my phone and literally doesn't come up with a search of "moon".
so you're saying that these skeptics should just go to this site that's relatively hard to find with a google search.
I'm sorta just over here in the camp of not really caring if it's true or not and just blindly accepting it happened cause that's general opinion and why not.
