What Would it Take For you to believe in the Moon landing?

Some people believe it was a hoax....some trust the independently verified sources from other countries.
In today's world it's tough to know what is real and what is fake...so it's reasonable to be a skeptic. There no shame in being a skeptic.
For the ones that are skeptics and believe our govt staged the entire thing....what piece of evidence would it take for you to believe a past or future moon landing happened?
I feel like if America sent another man to the moon in the next few years and we had 4K HD footage of it....a large number of people still wouldn't sway their opinion due to govt mistrust, AI, and CGI technology.
Are we at a point as a species where this is just one of those things that can't be believed by a large portion of our population? I believe if you yourself somehow catch a ride to the moon and you saw it for your own eyes, a lot would call you a liar when you arrive back on Earth due to mistrust of everything.
If we go to Mars one day... What would it take for you in your mind to verify if it's real or not?
I for one believe we went to the moon but I'm just trying to figure out how the other side thinks.

Already do believe it happened. Why? Not even the Russians called us out as it being a hoax.

Kennedy made a promise. America would look weak if we didn't hold up that promise.

Great point

For something like that to be a hoax, you need tons of people involved and not one of them to flip - ever.

Now hold a lot of conspiracy theories up to this standard.

100% agree. Trying to figure out what non-believers would look for to be swayed.

We have to go back. And take a selfie with a LGBTQ flag flying on the moon. That's the only way I'll believe in it.

Nothing. Some people just want to disbelieve for the sake of chaos.

My cousin used to be Director of Kennedy Space Center before he passed. I believe him.

If someone brought me a genuine moon rock. That would seal it.

Now combine that with what the above poster said about the Russians. SO many people involved the multiple landings and Russians who had spies everywhere never got the slightest hint it was supposedly faked?
But I guess the conspiracy theorist think the Russians were in on it too I guess

If it really happened the first thing Russia would have done is said it was fake.
They know it’s fake. They played their hand wisely.

I'd have to first believe in the moon.

I believe
that children are our future…
I also met two guys who went through the Apollo Astronaut program.
I’m pretty sure they weren’t complicit in some silly charade.

That's the fun and predictable thing about conspiracy theorists. Goal posts are constantly moving.

James Bond has been there, so it must be real.

The Russians had the radars to track us all the way to the moon. During the HEIGHT of the cold war, do you not think they would have outed us IMMEDIATELY if we didn't actually make it all the way there....
