I get the occasional NASA photo on my instagram feed, and the comments are always filled with this same kind of Perfomative Ignorance.
It must be fun, but it’s a shame to see it trickle in here.
The real shame is your inability to question dogma
Why didn’t the USSR point this fakery out?
It would have made them a laughing stock and the prospect of future cooperation would have been slammed shut. It would have made the USSR seem like sore losers. They were already public enemy number one thanks to the media PR machine. The Russians have been cooperating with the USA and ESA for many years on LEO missions, culminating in the successful ISS project.
We didn't go to the moon but the ISS is real?
Low earth orbit is way way easier and safer than any moon mission.
True, Apollo 11 was famously filmed on mars
Absolutely super to meet my first bona fide moon conspiracy theorist, but on Hacker News of all places?
Do you have any others? I guess not flat earth - I mean, those guys are crazy, right?
Nope, it's just the manned moon landing that was faked. Happy to discuss more.
