.. because we all know they never went to the fucking moon.

yeah, this is one conspiracy I rock with. How the fuck did we go there back in the day yet with all this new tech we still struggle to build a ship who can get there in 2024?

This comment is hilarious:

“The Apollo 17 liftoff from the moon is a beautiful shot when the camera zooms out and tilts up as Apollo blasts off back to earth. Respect for the camera operator who stayed behind on the moon for a great shot.”

let the jokes begin.

Didn't go well...

and seems weird that we haven't gone back yet given how quickly tech advances. Given what we had in the 60's how the hell is it so hard to land on the moon now?

even if there was no reason to go back immediately there is a reason to go back once you start talking about Mars and Space Wars and shit...

and to still have struggles getting back 50 years later is kinda odd given how far we have advanced in science and engineering.

“The suite of NASA payloads aboard Peregrine One will aim to locate water molecules on the Moon, measure radiation and gases around the lander, and evaluate the lunar exosphere (the thin layer of gases on the Moon’s surface). These measurements will improve our understanding of how solar radiation interacts with the lunar surface. The payloads will also provide data to NASA’s Lunar-VISE (Lunar Vulkan Imaging and Spectroscopy Explorer) instrument suite, slated to land on the Gruithuisen Domes in 2026.”

The human remains are part of it though. I wonder if they do perform missions specifically for that service.

“will also be a floating coffin, as among its contents are capsules containing DNA samples or portions of cremated remains from former US presidents, the science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke and others whose families have paid to land their remains on the moon.“

Facepalm at that top link though. Religious objections shouldn't be a consideration in any of this.

There's a 0% chance all the people who would've had to be involved in a conspiracy like this would've kept their mouths shut the rest of their lives.

Zero percent.

but unlike most modern conspiracy theories, it's a fun one to theorize and mostly harmless aside from discrediting all the risks people involved took to make it happen, namely the astronauts.

So for that I am pro-we faked the moon landing conspiracy, even though I don't believe it to have any chance to be true.

Give me more "we faked the moon landing" or "birds aren't real" and less "government officials are podophiles and meet at this pizza shop" or anything QAnon related.

its not something where every person involved is in on it.

All the people? You don't tell 20,000 people you are faking a moon landing.

You tell 100... if that.

just like the NFL and their shitty fixed endings to some games. it's not scripted, the players aren't involved in the fix.. lol.

.

if America had lied about landing there wouldn't Russia have been glad to call us out on it?

Even if you (wrongly) believe that everyone at NASA, the government, (and their loved ones and whoever else they may have told), etc. would stay quiet about this for the rest of their lives, you'd be crazy to think that Russia wouldn't have done any and everything in its power to put us on blast globally if they had even a single shred of evidence suggesting this was faked.

and who the fuck believes Russia besides Trump and em

What better money scam than a space program you can sift billions of dollars into and show no true return on profit or come with any real receipts.

Russia couldve ratted out the US but wheres the profit in that?

we would stop trying to go and just take their word for it?

Just let your cold war enemy have the moon and rely on their version of what is up there?

and yes, it would crush funding to expose the lie.

but aint no fucking way my enemy could go to the moon and just say fuck it, they win.

We would have known long ago. It's also entirely disrespectful to women like Creola Katherine Johnson.

time have to keep their mouths shut (at LEAST hundreds, more likely thousands considering all the NASA personnel, government officials, contractors, media members, etc.) but thousands of people who weren’t involved at that time but would find out about it later in the decades that followed would ALSO have to keep it secret.

call them crazy.. lol.

tell them its impossible because someone would speak up..

yet when they do, folks just triple down on how its not possible for people to keep the secret.

The US govt just has a bigger budget than Jim Jones or the Heaven’s gate crew did and hasnt resulted to mass killing to keep the lie alive…then again…

"...No human has ever been on the Moon!"

At least in our timeline (last 10k years or so).

Can't even get robots up there, unless y'all really taking China & India's CGI moon landers seriously, lol.


Look how hype these guys are after completing that incredible mission of landing on the moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI_ZehPOMwI&t=3340s

It's going to be way harder. One way to make it affordable (and repeatable) is to launch multiple rockets and have some refuel the main ship which will make the trip. This has never been done before.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a shit ton Helium 3 up there. Whoever controls that will have the ability to set up a gas station on the moon and control who has easy access to Mars and the rest of the solar system. Colonizers gonna colonize.

and of course you're right, but GOD DAMN didn't we learn enough from the last round of colonization?

Jesus, there's no hope for us...

The amount of advertising dollars from McD’s and Coca-Cola wouldve built 8 hotels on the moon already.

trying to bring prefab double wides and shit is comical.

niggas have HD 100,000 photos of galaxies millions of miles away but every ufo clip looks like some shit from the 1940’s

lol

Was remote controlled.

I wonder what would happen if undeniable proof showed the moon landing was faked?
How would the people and govt respond?

We have war in the middle east, housing prices thru the roof, Trump on deck and Russia and China gearing up for WW3


aint no one thinking about the goddamn moon landing or colonizing the moon as something important

They said we have evidence of extraterrestrials and the public barely flinched.

Not much else, but there would be a number of boomers mad af. Social studies books, encyclopedias, space museums, and astronauts would come under fire with the govt. Lawsuits would be filed for fraud. And if course this would lead to other govt theories such as 911 etc etc.
In a land where we still tune in to the Kardashians and such , there’s always room for more.

The strangest thing about the conspiracy is it's not like it was one and done. We did it several times.

Colonizing the moon and creating fuel. Sending bots to Mars for research and creating more fuel. Then exploring the moons of the Gas Giants. Also extraction of fuel.

You need to be careful. Hyper careful.

Delta-V is expensive, B.

The night is dark and full of terrors. :)

sure, Mars..

but lets get to the Moon in my lifetime before talking about setting up on Mars.

Can we do that? Will we do that?

Where Art thou Artemis?

damn, damn, damn!!!!

Astrobotic's goal had been to deliver five Nasa instruments to the Moon's surface, to study the local environment ahead of the return of astronauts later this decade.
Had the Peregrine craft been able to land successfully, it would have become the first American mission in half a century to do so, and the first ever private venture to achieve the feat.

Only government agencies from the US, the Soviet Union, China and India have managed controlled lunar landings to date.
But Astrobotic's mission was in trouble almost as soon as it came off the top of its launch rocket on Monday 8 January. It can, though, console itself with what it did manage to accomplish in difficult circumstances by continuing to operate Peregrine in space for more than 10 days.
