    @erfisflat , can you provide a public budget or financial report to prove this? Con may be able to due to the truth being that man did go to the moon and nasas agenda is space such as the ISS.

    @Erfisflat, in any court system your evidence would be highly circumstantial. In our society the justice system is innocent until proven guilty - so you have a burden of proof to show that NASA is stealing our money and fakes it with VR glasses.

    @Namemcname Ad populum fallacies only count when popular opinion is being used as evidence. So no, it's not an appeal to popular opinion fallacy, he was simply stating the statistics of the poll. There are a number of reasons the moon landings were faked.

  • There are retroreflectors that were placed on the moon during the Apollo 11, 14, and 15 missions. By using lasers you can calculate the distance from earth to the moon. This has been conducted hundreds of times. If we never went how did the retroreflectors get there?

    There aren't any retroreflectors on the moon. Don't be ridiculous. They were bouncing lasers off the moon long before the moon landings. It's either a reflection on water, or in image under water.

  • Mankind set foot on the moon first in 1969 in the mission Apollo 11, but despite their success, there were debates about whether NASA actually landed or faked their appearance. Did they make up their landing just to be ahead of Russia in the space race? One key question was why did the flag in the background waving when there is no wind on the moon. The truth is Apollo did indeed land on the moon and even brought samples back to earth. There are still footprints of this astronaut imprinted on the surface of the moon. As for the flag, a metal rod was inserted horizontally on top of the flag to keep it straight and from dropping from gravity.

     In 1969, the government was not developing VR and CGI.
    First of all, that's a load of crap, because they don't use those, the entertainment industry does.
    Furthermore, even if they didn't build a working lunar module, they still had to build those expensive rockets, which no one in their right mind would just launch into space in order to "win" the space race.Especially since you can view many of the associated technology in a museum. Any time someone calls into the question a government conspiracy, you wonder why the government never makes a statement that the conspiracy is wrong? It's because they know that it's so that there's no point in trying to refute it.

    @Erfisflat
    The second picture you provided for moon to earth scaling was an animated exaggeration, just like most solar system models, because it allows the relationship between the two to become more apparent and to make it more easily apparent the size ratios between the actual bodies.
    The reason why the moon looks bigger in the sky than the earth does because we have an atmosphere. Especially near the horizon, where the amount of intervening atmosphere is highest, the size of the moon is magnified by atmospheric gases acting moonas a magnifying lens on the moon. This is a well recorded phenomenon, as we've also observed far away galaxies through gaseous nebulae that acted as a lens as well.
