Okay, super cool. Other countries confirmed this 60 years ago......................when it happened.

The more evidence you provide, the harder some delusional people will reject all of it. It’s not a fight you can win with facts.

It may look like a debate to most people, but some people just don’t play by those rules. The whole idea of it being a debate just falls apart when you realize that what wasn’t reasoned in, can’t be reasoned out.

But that obviously couldn't be trusted because Stanley Kubrick, or something.

You haven't been in the internez lately.

Nothing here has any value. Everything needs a fact check and everything can be faked, even fact checks.

[-] kalpol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lately???

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

Does it need confirmation again? When was this ever legitimately disputed?

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes...a truly astounding number of people are on the fence about if it happened

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Legitimately disputed? Never. But conspiracy theorists laugh and shit at facts

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

It's obviously photoshopped! Like Australia

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

WTH, Australia is real.

It's New Zealand that's fake. That's why it's not on half of the maps out there. Even the accent is made up. No one in their right minds speaks a dialect where "no" has three syllables

The country exists there's just no people only sheep.

Joe Rogan here I've been to the moon and searched every square furlong and didn't see it. I'm right and everyone is wrong . My mum says soo..

[-] kalpol@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Wonder what kind of condition it's in.

Aside from a bit dusty, likely pristine. There may be some micro-impacts by now, and there's always some risk of a major impact on long time scales, but if luck holds, those sites should remain treasure troves of recognizable artifacts until the Sun becomes a red giant.

IIRC there was a test using a laser years ago... or is my brain hallucinating?

They left retroreflective mirrors there when they visited, you shine a light at them and it bounces right back at you, and that's what we do with a laser at an Observatory, it's pretty cool! :-D

I consider that another piece of evidence, in a big pile of evidence, but I suppose crazy people can say we sent the mirrors up with a rocket on their own or whatever idk. Crazy people gonna crazy.

You know what's really crazy? Some people think the USA is real and not just a TV show and 300 million AI bots. Had anyone ever actually been there? No, of course not, it's all Hollywood movie magic! (Hollywood's a secret propaganda studio based out of Cuba, which is real obviously because we get rum from there)

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know about ALL of the US, but Wyoming is definitely a construct.

[-] hovercat 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, some people literally believe the USA as a country isn't real, and is actually some massive corporation that was formed, IIRC, sometime after the US Civil War. Sovereign Citizens are an interesting bunch to say the least...

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

We actually fired a super laser though an inter-dimensional portal to a parallel world to counter act them firing a super laser at us. The portal must remain on the moon, we can't allow them to walk freely on Earth again.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Lies! AI generated! Fake news! This is the pathetic world we live in where critical thinking and occams razor are lost on the general public.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It was a soundstage on Mars.

[-] Eufalconimorph@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Deniers won't care, they'll just say India is part of the conspiracy. As are the scientists using lasers to measure the distance of the moon with retroreflectors the Apollo missions left. As am I for doubting their bullshit. Etc.
