What I struggle with is how the lunar vessel left the moon. I know the moon has like 1/6th the gravitational pull versus the earth, but the capsule looked so unstable versus the launch vessel. The launch pad on earth was so big and the booster rockets were so big. Was the lunar vessel able to just pop up and escape the moon’s gravitational pull that easy? Did the fuel have oxygen to burn? What does the propulsion push against if there is no atmosphere?

Not surprised that you're joining the morons in this thread.
I'll bet if Trump assured you that we went to the moon, you'd change your mind quick.
You, the OP, and Liberator are the three stooges of thinking.

Libs on OT, “Stop bringing politics on the OT”
Libs then project politics on the OT

There were 17 Apollo missions. So yes, there were more than 1 moon landing. We didn't just go once and decide we didn't like it.
The Apollo mission numbering is a bit wonky due to all of the different tests (and Apollo 1 was named after the crew was killed, originally it was AS-204).
Also, to OP's point, why fake seven landing missions and have one of them be an accident that scrubbed the landing (Apollo 13)? Why fake test missions (Apollo 4 and 6 unmanned, Apollo 7 and 8 with the CSM, Apollo 9 with the lunar module, and Apollo 10 with the dry run?)

Well there were 6 moon landings, so you think they faked all that shite?

People lost interest after we did it a couple of times, then funding for Apollo was cut.
Having to pay for the Vietnam War really screwed NASA.

After that we moved on to the Space Shuttle.
Another project that didn't live up to its billing due to budget cuts.

Good lord. I worry that the majority of Americans would run themselves over with their own cars.

The concepts behind all those is questions is taught in high school.

Well then, how a about a short physics lesson?

Exactly. We got the best German for building rockets.

So force in one direction equals the same force in the opposite direction?

Funny how no foreign government, with vastly more intelligence gathering resources than you and your googling, has ever seriously disputed the moon landing.
This. The Soviets would have loved to debunk the moon landings.

It still seems like to lift something you need something to push against.

John said walking on the moon was weird. Seemed like an honest man. That's all I got to report.

Momentum is conserved.
You just have to pack enough energy (chemical energy, i.e., fuel) to get liftoff. This sounds confusing because energy and mass are interchangeable (E=MC^2).
