We flew through the Van Allen belts, and then disembarked in a duct taped aluminum foil popcorn bag, landed on the moon, then lifted back off hours later and reconnected with the mothership, flew back through the Van Allen belts, and then reentered Earth's atmosphere, safely. And then we lost all the important footage of the events, except for the moonwalking. And then we also lost all the knowledge and ability to do it again.
Are you suggesting that it's possible I am exhibiting traits of gullibility by not believing all that?
One of the examples I used was about the flashes of light astronauts seen. The original Apollo team didnt mention anything about it, or if they did they were ignored. But later apollo teams do mention flashes of light. So I was wrong about that. But seems strange to me that its 21st century and we still dont have any clue what is happening.
I want to believe we made it, but the biggest driver for the space race was war. He who controls the moon, controls the world. Why do you need a nuclear weapon when you can hurl boulders from the moon.
In his January 1958 talk, Boushey acknowledged that there existed in the nascent U.S. space community "divided opinion as to whether or not a manned or unmanned moon base has any military significance." He then presented arguments in favor of a military lunar base.
The moon, he explained, is 239,000 miles away, a distance a rocket might cross in about two days. Boushey noted that the moon is a synchronous rotator, which means that it keeps the same face turned always toward Earth. Telescopes on the moon's Earth-facing Nearside could thus monitor military activities on the revolving Earth as they passed in and out of view. Boushey estimated that objects as small as 100 feet wide might be visible. Conversely, the Farside hemisphere is always turned away from Earth. Boushey believed that this would make it an ideal location for the conduct of secret military operations beyond the gaze of prying eyes in Russia.
Earth's moon, Boushey declared, could also provide "a retaliation base of unequaled advantage." If the U.S. gained control of the moon, then the Soviets would be unable to attack the United States without suffering "sure and massive destruction." They could either attack the U.S. first and endure a counter-strike from the moon about 48 hours later, or they could launch missiles at the moon first. The U.S. military lunar base would, of course, immediately detect the light and heat of the Soviet missiles' rocket exhaust and retaliate.
Boushey then spoke what are probably the most famous words in his speech: that "[i]t has been said that 'he who controls the moon controls the earth.' Our planners must carefully evaluate this statement for, if true -- and I, for one, think it is -- then the U.S. must control the moon."
I used to be in the same camp. But when you couple these direct bits of fakery evidence with some of the more snaky indirect bits (like Buzz Aldrin using threatening language about sicking the CIA on a documentary producer, etc., and then you look at the comparison of Kubrick's front projection technique to the moon footage, it's tough to maintain any doubt that the whole thing was fake. What about the fact that they had tested the lunar lander on Earth and it flipped upside-down and burned? But then they were able to launch it out of a spacecraft orbiting the moon and land exactly where they wanted to and then take back off and rendezvous with that same spacecraft… The odds of that all happening are ludicrous lmfao.
Even the phone call by Nixon is so ridiculous. We're gonna have a two way comm to the moon in 1969 with 5-10 sec of latency and no issues? I'm guessing this call took place during the day when the moon wasn't even visible in the sky, also. So that means Houston had some kind of network relay around the world to a location that did have line of sight with the moon, and where there was a large comms array there? They just didn't even bother with the details. And clearly it never mattered, most people were dumbfounded by their television sets and that was enough.
Yeah that's a two way street haus

I am torn.

So we either made it there, and there are bases.
Or we didnt and theyve been lying about it.
