re: Sorry gullible tards, but the US never went to the moon in person

Wait - you're denying LEO stuff, too? FFS, you can see the ISS with the naked eye, my guy.

Technically the ISS is still in the atmosphere:

Idk if you have ever seen a cathedral but it definitely looks more fricking complicated and sophisticated than a Roman colosseum.

Those cathedrals aren’t more complicated and sophisticated than Roman aqueducts. They look nicer, but Europeans went many centuries confused on how the aqueducts worked.

What's on the moon that matters?

Helium 3 is up there as well as several other substances. There’s motive to go back, but the start up costs are insanely expensive and dangerous.

They actually are much more complex than your aqueduct. The reason you didn’t see any aqueducts in medieval Europe was because there wasn’t a need for them plain and simple. The Roman Empire was basically a bunch of coastal city city states which favored the use of aqueducts while a more rural society only needed a stream or river.

And they congregate together and reinforce the stupidity. I can't always tell if it's an act or serious.

The five people who apparently thought I was serious when I said space exploration is racist supports the existence of this conundrum.

Says who?

I mean, they lied for decades that a shite ton of Nazis weren’t working for them. I love NASA, but there were no doubt a bunch of Nazis at the place. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has said if Wernher Von Braun was still alive that they would prosecute him with crimes against humanity for what he did in Nazi Germany.

You obviously were not alive during that era. Beating Soviet Unicom to the moon was the entire motivation, scientific exploration was a distant second. The successful landing in 1969 was the winning of a war, and yes, it caused the Russians to give up. The space program had the support of almost every American, the money, and the number of involved in it were enormous. The Russians and many other entities outside of the US knew we were on the moon because they were monitoring the astronaut’s communications signals direct from the moon.

Then why haven’t the Russians, Chinese, Indiana, or Americans bothered to go back?

Because humans can't travel that distance to begin with. It was a SpaceRace. Not exploration so these other people just said frick it. Nothing there lol. Even though they never went.

Monitoring transmission from the moon with walkie talkies. The entire reason a human hasn't been anywhere since is because we still can't go past LEO. Nobody went to the moon. People believe anything.

Think about it. Someone filmed the landing and takeoff on the moon. Who was it? A movie studio is the right answer.

If someone is going to argue the moon landings didn’t happen they should at least know something about what they are trying to disprove.

There was no video of the lunar landing from the surface of the moon. The video was from the lunar landing module approaching the surface taken through the window of the lander. The lift off from the moon was taken by a stationary camera left by the astronauts pointing at the lunar lander. It transmitted the video direct from the surface of the moon. The video of Armstrong climbing down the ladder to the surface of the moon was from a camera mounted on the lunar module. My Dad was one of the first people to see images of the first steps on the moon, the video feed that was sent out to the TV networks was delayed 20-30 seconds, he saw it as it happened.
