    No way is “the moon landing was faked” cooler than the fact humans walked on the moon 1961. And there is absolutely nothing cool about flat earthers!

      us being able to convincingly pull of a fake moon landing would have been vastly more impressive than going to the moon, it would have required insane amounts of coordination and planning with the technology at that time.

        I mean…the actual moon landing required insane amounts of coordination and planning to do too. Faking it would probably have required significantly less than actually doing it.

          I don’t know, if it was faked, you would also had to find a way to convince thousands of people to keep it all a secret. That would take a ton of coordination and planning.

            It’s also the fact that you have to simulate all the details, basically to fake the moon landing they would have needed to effectively do a moon landing anyways, except you don’t even get the benefit of physics doing the job for you.

            Like there’s a reason a decent amount of people are still using practical FX in movies, it automatically makes things realistic.

        I can also strongly recommend the 2011 German-American Documentary Die Mondverschwörung about various conspiracy theories about the moon and other things. It’s hilarious and sadly real, featuring interviews with lunatics and conspiracy theorists living in Germany.

      Are you starting a new conspiracy theory?

        Hear me out guys. What if the US had already been on the moon by as early as 1961, but decided to just not tell anybody until 8 years later?!

          They took over the Nazi base on the Moon as seen in the documentary Iron Sky.
