I would argue that using your logic, we 'fly' submarines under the water.
Small aerodynamic models are often tested in moving water because of the Reynolds number. A vacuum doesn't work.
There is a submarine that "flies down" in the water instead of using ballast.

If we find that no one on the planet can recreate what Neil Armstrong did,
that would be a big fat red flag.
...and NASA wanted to shut down the LLRV/LLTV program....
WHY would NASA want to do that?
That just didn't make any sense if you were going to do a man guided moon landing.
actual physical simulations
The ones he crashed? --- using the same gravity he practiced with?
have only done that in video games.
Neil Armstrong did not have modern day video games
knowledge in orbital mechanic to use.
That was one of the very first simulations written, when ported to a pdp-11 led to the development of Unix
IMO it would be the ultimate test that would be easy to do.
settle it for all
Someone who could fly the Neil Armstrong Challenge
would give it plausibility.
I have a picture of bigfoot and elvis
I am still on the fence.
I have factored out things to make the landing possible
I have factored out things to make the hoax possible
It still comes down to the skill required to make the final approach and landing possible with what NASA had at the time.
Here's the rub --- It would be easy to simulate. The (easy version) simulators I have tried are next to impossible. I am a pilot. I have test flown experimental (never been built before) home-brew aircraft. I have landed some with control reversal. I consider myself an amateur test pilot.
...but fuck -- the lunar seat-of-your-pants landing is hard for me to believe.
So --- I present the Neil Armstrong lunar lander challenge --- still no takers
The simulators today are way advance to what Neil Armstrong had.
What is your point?
and you're calling people retarded?
Just prove it is do-able.
Recreate Neil Armstrong's landing.
None of the pussies complaining here will try it.
Now, flying is translating
One has air resistance lift/drag/turbulence.
Will a parachute open in a vacuum?
Can you autorotate a lunar lander?
OH GOD -- you should blow Neil Armstrong out of the window with this advantage that he did not have.
The lunar lander was not flying --- no dihedral stability, no terminal velocity limit
It was translating --- not flying.
Have you ever landed a real plane?
The lunar lander used no computers.
I think you maybe just do not understand just how robust the craft was and the suits.
The "suits" don't enter into it.
I am a pilot and have landed planes over 50 years.
easy mode craft like that?
You are funny -- go land a real airplane.
GO TRY A LUNAR LANDER
No one has taken this challenge yet.
They think this is bullshit (different they).
He's kind of late to the party.
IMO --- the obvious
He got mega rich a little too fast to be normal --- like Gates, Epstein, Pelosi
Buffet and Trump are more believable (even though Buffet is a goddamn liberal).
