We Did Not Go to the Moon
At this point, I'm not sure if we did or not. There was a time when I was 100% convinced we did. That was before my government told me that covid-19 came from bat soup (a wet market) even though there was a virology lab in Whuhan that was studying the covid virus. Before the government told me that staying 6 foot apart would keep us all safe. Told me that masks worked to protect me from the virus, even though I could smell the stink of the men's room because the little floating shyte particles made it thru the mask. Told me the vaccine worked to prevent the spread of covid, but when I resisted taking the vaccine my government tried to destroy me and my way of making a living. Even though, if the vaccine worked all those that took the vaccine would be protected no matter what I did. My government told me that if I liked my Dr, obamacare would ensure I could keep my Dr.

My government will lie to me for their own benefit.

If we made 6 landings on the moon and several other trips around the moon in late 60's and early 70's, why did we need to make a practice run last week?

They used the same tech in Biden’s videos from the “White House”.

NASA is full of shite.

Good question.

This is one of the things I've been on the fence about for a long time. I've looked at a ton of arguments both pro and con, but one thing I am convinced of is that it was filmed in a Hollywood studio, just as Burchett says. Now, for the longest time I figured that they filmed a fake version of it because they were prepared to fake it in the event they didn't make it there so as to win the so-called space race with the Russians. But I don't know. It's pretty wild to hear a congressman I trust come out and say we didn't go to the moon multiple times now.

Just look at the embedded video I posted on the last page. There is no doubt they filmed the shite in a studio. We didn't actually leave a cameraman on the lunar surface.

Physical Evidence: Apollo astronauts brought back 382 kg (842 pounds) of lunar rocks, which have been analyzed by scientists worldwide and confirmed to be of lunar origin

Independent Tracking: The Soviet Union, the US's space-age rival, tracked the Apollo missions and would have immediately exposed a hoax, acting as a crucial witness to the landings.

Lunar Imaging: More recently, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken high-resolution images of the Apollo landing sites, showing the lunar rovers, equipment, and even astronaut tracks left on the surface.

Of course, if you've never been there to begin with how can you verify that they are of "lunar origin?"

The scientific community generally agrees that the moon was once a part of Earth (I disagree). Which would also mean that their rocks should be made of the same shite that make up the rocks here on Earth.

I'm not a geologist but I'm sure this thread has plenty of them in it.

You don't have to be a geologist to know that that is bad reasoning. If you have never been to the moon you don't have any base of comparison to say that the rocks the astronauts "brought back" definitely came from the moon. That's nonsensical logic.

What are y’all keying off of there - just his usual style, or something specific about this clip?

I see your point.

After all we had to have a nuclear bomb before we could build one.

The sly grin, the guy in the background laughing, the fact that his audience were people from NASA.

Not sure you'd have to even know his satirical style to see this one.

Yep, I think the hang-up here is what counts as "verification". If it has to be "I personally went there and checked", then yeah, nothing like this is knowable. But that standard would wipe out most of science (including nuclear science, your point obviously), not just the moon landing.

This is so frickin stupid.
Listen genius, if you haven't been to the moon you don't know what lunar rocks are composed of. You could guess, but you have no way to "verify" that some rocks some dudes being you came from a place you know nothing about. This isn't rocket surgery.

Yeah, that makes sense - the context around it is doing a lot of the work there.

The Dude is messing around. Of course we had men on the moon. We had 6 missions that landed men on the moon. SIX.

We were in the middle of the Cold War and Russia was watching our every move. If we had faked it, they'd 100% have known and they'd have called us out on it to the whole world. But they didn't. They acknowledged that we beat them to the moon.

This was the point succinctly made by AJ Gentile of "The Why Files", and i find the logic hard to refute.

You're probably absolutely right.

Maybe we've recovered meteors and seen that the exact mineral composition of them is not found on earth.
Maybe some of those lunar rocks were meteors, maybe some of meteors were a composition that would have burned up in our atmosphere.

quote:

Moon rocks were verified as authentic through independent analysis by global scientists, revealing features impossible to fake: complete lack of water, presence of microscopic meteorite craters, solar wind damage, and a crystalline structure formed in a vacuum 4.5 billion years ago. These rocks are geologically distinct from Earth rocks, lacking volatiles and possessing unique titanium-rich signatures, similar to samples collected by Soviet and Chinese, uncrewed missions. 


You're probably absolutely correct.

Specifically, why do you not believe we’ve been to the moon?

Ding, ding, ding.
All they would be able to confirm is that the rocks didn't come from earth. Well, we have tons of those. They're literally always falling to Earth. But without ever having been to the moon they would have no way of knowing they aren't just any other bolide that hits the Earth literally every single day.

So my understanding is that they burn up in our atmosphere.
The ones that make it to earth might have some evidence of that?
Ones of lunar origin would not?
