Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

" I had never thought twice about the Moon landing"
The fact you used Moon landing in the singular form is proof you're not very educated on the history of the Apollo program.
"I watched with an open mind and this makes perfect sense now"
Except you didn't fact-check any of his claims. You just swallowed it whole without second thought.
"I don’t know if it will end with Trump, but I hope it sure will start with him!!!"
LOL! Trump acknowledges the moon landings 😂
July 19, 2019
"Well, thank you very much. Tomorrow is a very big day because tomorrow will represent 50 years from the time we planted a beautiful American flag on the moon. And that was an achievement — possibly, one of the great — considered one of the great achievements ever. And we’re going a lot further now. We’re going to the moon but we’re then going to Mars.
"We have with us, of course, Buzz Aldrin, who has been an incredible gentleman. I’ve known him for years, for a long time. And we’ve been friends for a long time. But just a fantastic, fantastic man. And Michael Collins, you all know flew Apollo 11 overhead. And it’s Aldrin and Armstrong, they walked on the moon."

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. Tomorrow is a very big day because tomorrow will represent 50 years from the time we planted a beautiful American flag on the moon. And that was an achievement — possibly, one of the great — considered one of the great achievements ever. And we’re going a lot further now. We’re going to the moon but we’re then going to Mars.
We have with us, of course, Buzz Aldrin, who has been an incredible gentleman. I’ve known him for years, for a long time. And we’ve been friends for a long time. But just a fantastic, fantastic man. And Michael Collins, you all know flew Apollo 11 overhead. And it’s Aldrin and Armstrong, they walked on the moon.”

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

“All of these politicians lie.”
No, they don’t all lie. That’s just a stereotype that people use to defend their candidate –“Well, everyone lies so what’s the difference?” How many politicians have lied about winning a presidential election and have perpetuated that lie to this very day? Spoiler alert: Just one.
“Trump has at least been consistent.”
Yeah, lying consistently (30,000+ verifiable lies) is better than just lying sometimes. 🤦♂
“Kamala has lied…”
There have been some instances where Harris faced scrutiny or questions about the accuracy of her statements regarding her personal experiences, but you have to be able to distinguish between exaggerations, misstatements, and intentional falsehoods. Flip-flopping on a subject doesn’t necessarily mean someone lied. It can simply be a change of stance.
“Think, lied about her accent to manipulate”
That’s your opinion. There’s no way to prove that claim anyway. Just because you can detect variations in her accent that doesn’t mean she is attempting to be dishonest. You’re really grasping at straws here.
“Defending, justifying, spinning kamala's lies is such a weird stance too.”
It would be weird if she was actually lying but so far the only people lying are you and Trump. 💁

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

Regarding the subsequent interaction, occurring on September 9, 2002,[5] the BBC reported that witnesses came forward to the police with jurisdiction, the Beverly Hills Police Department, stating: "Mr Sibrel...lured Mr Aldrin to the hotel under false pretences in order to interview him."[4] By Aldrin's account, he went to the Beverly Hills hotel on that date under the pretext of an interview on space for a Japanese children's television show.[5] At the time, Aldrin was aged 72 and Sibrel was aged 37.[5]
Sibrel attempted on-camera to coerce Aldrin to swear an oath on a Bible that he had been on the Moon.[5] Witnesses came forward to the police indicating that "Sibrel had aggressively poked Mr Aldrin with the Bible".[4] When Aldrin refused Sibrel's request, Sibrel followed him, saying: "You're the one who said you walked on the Moon when you didn't."[14] The BBC reported that "Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Ratinoff told Reuters... [the] videotape shot by a cameraman hired by Mr Sibrel had shown the film-maker follow Mr Aldrin, calling him a 'thief, liar and coward'."[4] Still being recorded by Sibrel's camera crew, Aldrin responded with "Will you get away from me?" and then punched Sibrel in the jaw.[4][5]
On the day following the altercation, a statement from a lawyer for Aldrin described the "6-foot-2, 250-pound [1.88 m, 113 kg] Sibrel forc[ing] Aldrin up against a wall and refus[ing] to let him leave", thus making the case for self-defense.[5] Aldrin made the case to police that he had been attempting to defend "himself and his stepdaughter, who was with him at the time".[4]
Sibrel gave the tape to the police,[4] apparently alleging assault. The incident received significant publicity, with many television talk shows airing the clip, usually supporting Aldrin's action. Shortly after the altercation, Sibrel told the St. Petersburg Times: "[Aldrin] has a good punch. It was quick, too. I didn't see it coming."[5]
As described by Eric Spitznagel for Popular Mechanics, since "witnesses testified that Sibrel had provoked [Aldrin], assault charges against the former astronaut were dropped".[3] Police either did not file or dropped charges based on Aldrin's lack of a prior criminal record, witness accounts of Sibrel's having drawn Aldrin to the hotel under false pretenses, Sibrel's aggressiveness before the punch, and his having declined to seek medical attention and sustaining "no visible injury".[4][3]

@stephenstaedtler6902 "They changed the 30-year period for reporting a rape or sexual assault statute of limitations just to get Trump."
False! The law you're referring to is the Adult Survivors Act, which was signed into law in New York in 2022. This law temporarily extended the statute of limitations for adult survivors of sexual assault to file civil lawsuits, giving them a one year window to do so. It was not designed specifically to target Donald Trump. The law applied to all adult survivors, and while Trump was one of the high profile individuals named in lawsuits, the law was not enacted solely with him in mind.
"The woman who made the accusation accused 6 other guys of rape."
So?
"Took her story from a 'Law and Order' TV episode."
Wrong. There is no credible source or record of Jean Carroll ever saying that "rape is sexy."
"This was a civil trial and not a criminal trial in a leftist enclave where the jury only had to be 51% sure."
The standard of proof in civil trials is preponderance of the evidence, meaning that the plaintiff only needs to show that it is more likely than not (51% sure) that the defendant is liable. In criminal trials, the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is much higher. A civil case does not require the same level of certainty as a criminal case, but this does not mean that the trial was unfair or designed to target Trump.
"If you had the goods, you go to criminal court."
That's a misleading statement. Many sexual assault victims choose to pursue civil lawsuits for various reasons, including the burden of proof required in criminal cases and the possibility of securing compensation. Criminal cases require a much higher standard of proof ("beyond a reasonable doubt"), and many victims of sexual assault choose to pursue civil lawsuits, which have a lower threshold ("preponderance of the evidence"). The fact that Carroll's case was civil does not mean that there wasn't evidence to support her claims,. nor does it imply that she should have filed criminal charges instead.
"Changed the law to make a misdemeanor a felony just to get Trump."
Wrong again. The charge was based on existing statutes, and prosecutors did not create a new law to target Trump. The issue was whether the intent behind the falsified records was criminal (to influence the election), which is what made it a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
"Andrew Cuomo said the charges would never have been brought against anyone else but Trump."
So? That's subjective, and other legal experts disagreed with Cuomo. The prosecutor's office stated that the charges were justified based on evidence, and the decision to bring them was made independently, not based on Trump's status.
"There was no damaged party for what they accused Trump of."
Wrong again. The damaged party in this case was the public and the votrs. The charges primarily stemmed from allegations of falsifying business records in a way that could have violated campaign finance laws. The idea was that Trump attempted to conceal the true nature of the payments to Daniels (meant to influence the 2016 election) by misreporting them. The claim is that Trump misled the public, which could have affected voters' understanding of his campaign's financial activities.
Furthermore, in criminal law, a "damaged party" does not always have to be an individual who directly suffers a physical or financial loss. In cases involving campaign finance violations or falsifying records, the damaged party is typically the public interest or the electoral process itself. The idea is that by hiding the payment, Trump may have prevented the public from knowing about actions that could have influenced their vote.

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photosu available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal. @Burzumlegacy

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

@Swordsman77 I've already proved to my self that the flat earth cosmology is a fantasy for people who can't handle even simple math. If you want to defend your position, then pick any of the following geometric proofs and explain how they work on a flat earth.
If the moon is revolving on a plane parallel to and about 3,000 miles above a flat earth, then people in Oslo, Norway and Cape Town, South Africa, 6,500 miles apart, would have to see the moon at the same moment from angles differing by 94.6° when it is above a point exactly between them (over the Republic of Chad). In real life, they see it
from viewing angles differing by just 1.4°, and people all over the world see the moon at the same time from no more than a 1.9° difference in viewing angle.
In the flat earth model, someone on the equator during an equinox would see the sun at a heading of 45° at 6:00 am. The sun would then curve around to pass through the zenith at 12:00 noon. Finally, it would curve around to be seen at a heading of 315° at 6:00 pm. In real life, people in that situation see the sun rise at 6:00 at a heading of 90°, pass through the zenith at noon, then set at 6:00 at a heading of 270°.
The motorized equatorial mount of a telescope can track the sun across the sky by rotating only through a single axis parallel to the earth's rotational axis. If the sun was really revolving in a plane parallel to, but some 3000 miles above a flat surface, then the telescope mount would need to rotate through two axes simultaneously to track the sun, or any other celestial object.
Observers in the southern hemisphere see the stars appear to revolve around a point directly over the earth's southern pole. During the Southern Hemisphere's winter, a person in Rio Gallegos, Argentina, and a person in Sydney, Australia can both see the constellation Octans to their south at exactly the same time. That is not possible
in the flat earth model.
In the flat earth model, the angular sizes of the sun and moon would change considerably during the course of the day, and would vary according to one's position. If you're at the equator on an equinox and the sun is 3,000 miles directly above you, then to have an angular diameter of 0.5°, it needs to have a real diameter of 26.2 miles. But what about six hours later? Euclidean geometry let's us determine that the sun would then have moved to a point 9,285 miles away from you. At that distance, an object 26.2 miles in diameter would have an angular diameter of just 0.16° of arc. That's a 68% reduction in angular diameter. But in real life, the sun's angular diameter is always right around 0.5° of arc.
Flat earth proponents claim that perspective causes the illusion of the sun passing below the horizon. But that doesn't work. For the sun to appear to be just 0.5° away from the horizon (that's just one time its own diameter from the
horizon) at 3,000 miles above a flat surface, it would need to be 343,770 miles from the observer. (If a right triangle has an opposite of 3,000 miles, and an alpha of 0.5°, then the length of the adjacent is 343,770 miles.) That's 43% farther than the actual moon, and 22X the diameter of the Tropic of Capricorn in your flat model.
It gets even worse as the sun gets nearer the horizon. To be half its own diameter away from the horizon and still be 3,000 miles above the plane of your flat earth, it has to retreat to a distance of 687,550 miles, where its angular diameter would be just 0.002°. And to get to 1/4 of its angular diameter from the horizon at 3,000 miles up, it would
need to retreat to a distance of 1,375,100 miles, at which point the angular size of this 26.2 miles diameter sun would be a miniscule 0.001°. To put that in perspective, the average angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from earth is 0.01°. That's 10X bigger than the flat earth sun would appear at 1,375,100 miles.
Moving on, for the flat earth sun to appear to even touch the horizon due to perspective, the angle between sun and horizon would need to be less than the minimum angle resolvable by the eye, which in the case of people with 20/20 visual acuity is about 1 minute (') of arc, or 1/60th of a degree. To appear to be 1' of arc from the horizon, an object 3,000 miles above the surface of the flat plane you're standing on would need to be 10,313,000 miles away from you. That's 43.33 times farther away than the actual moon in the heliocentric model.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. Tomorrow is a very big day because tomorrow will represent 50 years from the time we planted a beautiful American flag on the moon. And that was an achievement — possibly, one of the great — considered one of the great achievements ever. And we’re going a lot further now. We’re going to the moon but we’re then going to Mars.
We have with us, of course, Buzz Aldrin, who has been an incredible gentleman. I’ve known him for years, for a long time. And we’ve been friends for a long time. But just a fantastic, fantastic man. And Michael Collins, you all know flew Apollo 11 overhead. And it’s Aldrin and Armstrong, they walked on the moon.”
Oops! You didn’t see that coming. Did you? 😂

Lmao! You didn't type a single fact that disproves the Apollo landings. Just a bunch of rambling.
"The computer on earth's processing power wouldn't even matter."
Why? Because you say so? The Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN) used large ground based tracking stations and computers to calculate precise trajectory data. This information was then transmitted to the spacecraft for course corrections and mission updates.
"Especially when the Astronauts are traveling through the vacuum of space."
Ok, and what does that have to do with the ability to send the Apollo spacecraft data?
"We still can't even perfect cell phone communication, Bluetooth, or Wi-fi on Earth."
False analogy fallacy. Apollo's communication system was designed for a highly specific and controlled mission, primarily using radio signals over long distances with large, powerful ground based antennas. Consumer wireless technologies (cell phones, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) must operate in unpredictable environments with interference, limited power, obstructions and millions of simultaneous users.
"People can make these videos where they jump through hoops and more, in order to explain how it was even possible to send a man to the moon and back in 1969."
The only people jumping through hoops are the dullards who refuse to accept facts. You do so to deal with your denial.
"The fact is, it really is laughable, when they try to fool people who understand computer processing power."
Yeah, what's really funny are the tens of millions of computer science engineers around the world who are all apparently too stup!d to have spotted these "errors" like you have.
"1000kb equal 1mb. 1000mb equal 1gb. 1000gb equal 1tb."
Ok? And?
"Do you see how ridiculous it is to say a 36kb ROM could possess the necessary processing power to put man on the moon and bring him back in 1969?"
The AGC wasn’t a general purpose computer like the ones we use today. It was designed with hand optimized assembly code that executed only mission-critical tasks with extreme efficiency. The computer wasn’t running the mission on autopilot. Astronauts manually input commands, and NASA’s ground computers provided updated calculations for trajectory corrections. The AGC’s role was primarily real time guidance, navigation, and control, not handling complex simulations or general processing tasks.
"I don't care how many computers they claim to have used. Even if they had 1000 of them working together it would be laughable."
Translation: "I don't understand how this was possible therefore FAKE!"
Go cry somewhere else.

@rammalammadingdong1 Proof men walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video as well.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material have been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world, showing chemical signs of originating from the Moon.
4. The LRRR (Laser Retroreflector Arrays) left by Apollo 11 and other subsequent Apollo missions can still be interacted with today using sufficiently powerful lasers from Earth.
5. The SELENE photos show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang’e 2 photos show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2 managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory observed Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observed Apollo missions during their return coast to Earth and produced live television pictures, which were broadcast to U.S. West Coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco.
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages from the lunar vehicles and not to them, because the Earth was between him and Houston. Also, backyard amateurs around the world were able to tune in to the Apollo audio (not the video—that would have required bigger hardware—but the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi antennas and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds, or maybe thousands, of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, which monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, had its leader, Vasily Mishin, describe in an interview for the article “The Moon Programme That Faltered” how the Soviet Moon program dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to remain silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud highlights the implausibility of conspiracy theories.
14. In October–November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon’s surface by all Apollo landing missions, excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and transmitter power outputs (20 W) were in agreement with NASA reports.
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images provide some of the most effective proof to date rebutting the “landing hoax” theories. Although this probe was launched by NASA, the camera and image interpretation are managed by an academic group—the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University—along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center in Berlin, are outside the U.S. and are not funded by the U.S. government.
16. After these images were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher-resolution imaging. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at a higher resolution.
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent, compared to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site, shows an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts at all Apollo landing sites. The exception is Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin’s account of the flag being blown over by the lander’s rocket exhaust upon departure from the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia accounted for two-thirds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world, including those of adversarial nations, used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. More information can be found on MIT’s website. The tracking was accurate to within one mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time and used it to photograph the S-IVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned miles, making them visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (which behaved similarly).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent to the lunar surface by monitoring the Doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

@Iamnyka29 That’s right. The Artemis program is planning to return humans to the moon by 2026. The keyword here is planning. No attemps have been made so far, therefore nobody is struggling to get back to the moon. You are distorting the facts.
“astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Williams, were trapped in space for 9 months due to technical difficulties and that was a test mission to the ISS”
Wrong. They were not trapped. If they were truly trapped then by that logic everyone on board was trapped. From the moment they arrived, they could have left on another vehicle that was already docked. They were never in danger, abandoned ot trapped; they simply had to be integrated into the crew rotation schedule like any other astronauts. Other crew members, who had already been on the ISS longer, needed to return first due to mission timelines, health considerations, and spacecraft availability. Williams and Wilmore stayed longer, not because they were left behind, but because NASA prioritized a safe and structured return rather than an improvised one.
This has NOTHING to do with the Apollo moon landings.

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

Trump acknowledges the moon landings, derp-head.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. Tomorrow is a very big day because tomorrow will represent 50 years from the time we planted a beautiful American flag on the moon. And that was an achievement — possibly, one of the great — considered one of the great achievements ever. And we’re going a lot further now. We’re going to the moon but we’re then going to Mars….”
“We have with us, of course, Buzz Aldrin, who has been an incredible gentleman. I’ve known him for years, for a long time. And we’ve been friends for a long time. But just a fantastic, fantastic man. And Michael Collins, you all know flew Apollo 11 overhead. And it’s Aldrin and Armstrong, they walked on the moon.…”

@LilBaritone17 “People have had the suspicion that the U.S. never landed on the moon.”
Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photosu available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

Your argument: “The proof it’s fake is the footage itself”
No, that’s not proof. Want to try again?

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

“The above video was shot on 2 low res parking lot cameras with short focus. The plane won’t jump out at you. It takes a little effort to make out what you are seeing.
The footage was shot using 2 identical co-located parking lot entry gate cameras with a fish-eye lens to widen the view at the short ranges the cameras were intended to capture. Each camera was focused at about 10-15 feet and shooting at just 1 fps. It is NOT continuous video (which is shot at 60 fps or better) so don’t expect continuous video. The target is roughly 800 feet away and moving at 462 knots, which means it travels about 775 feet between frames. You can see the target by pausing at 0:05 for the 1st camera and 1:32 for the 2nd. There is just one frame per camera, the target is far away and not in focus.
At 0:05 the aircraft is partially obscured by the parking lot ticket post on the right side of the frame. The nose, top of the fuselage and vertical tail are visible around the obstacle, as is the spiral smoke trail from the damaged left engine behind the aircraft.
At 1:32 the entire aircraft is visible, easiest to spot by following the smoke trail from left to right until it stops. That’s the airplane
Personally, I always found it easier to watch for the doppler. Compare the frame before and look for what isn’t there. Have two tabs open and bounce back and forth between them.
If you still can’t work it out then this video should help:
youtube.com/watch?v=hixQ3zc2Bho&t=293s&ab_channel=Doll1789MarshallDhody
Then of course there is the mountain of other evidence,… which you seem to be ignoring. For,…. reasons…
We know Flight 77 hit the Pentagon because of ALL of the following true and relevant facts, not because of one random anomaly. When complied together, all of these true and relevant facts form a single inescapable conclusion;
1. Witnesses: Local and national media published or broadcast the accounts of ALL of whom reported a plane hit the Pentagon, while no witnesses reported seeing anything else (ie: none saw a missile). Around 2 dozen witnesses could identify either the aircraft type, the airline or both.
2. Flight Path: On its way in, Flight 77 created a damage path (the tree hit by the left engine, the 5 light poles, the garden wall on the Pentagon lawn and the mobile diesel generator) which is consistent with an aircraft the dimensions and layout of a Boeing 757. No missile could do any of that.
3. Impact Hole: The impact hole in the outside wall of E-Ring at Wedge 1 of the Pentagon matches in size and shape the Boeing 757 from engine to engine. Wing impact marks extend out on either side of that to the span of a 757.
4. Building Damage: The damage path inside the Pentagon takes the shape of an inverted cone, with over 80 support columns all of them bent in the direction of travel. This is consistent with the high speed impact of a Boeing 757 aircraft and NOT the high-explosive blast warhead of any missile.
5. Aircraft Wreckage: 19 tons of B757 wreckage were recovered at the Pentagon crash site including the landing gear, both engines, the entire left wing flap assembly, part of the cockpit, seats (some still occupied), landing gear bay doors, fuselage sections, the Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorders for Flight 77, etc, etc,...
youtube.com/watch?v=kCRuVNgrAAw&ab_channel=cjnewson88
6. Two parking lot security camera videos from the north parking lot security booth captured images of a B757 sized aircraft in AA livery flying along the exact flight path of Flight 77 and at the same velocity recorded by its FDR. The aircraft was trailing smoke from the right engine due to hitting the aforementioned tree moments earlier as confirmed by several witnesses.
7. Human remains: The remains of everyone aboard Flight 77 were recovered and identified with the exception of 1 infant whose remains could not be identified. Some victims were recovered still strapped in their seats. Each of the victims families were provided with a detailed autopsy report.
8. Personal Effects: Several thousand personal items belonging to persons aboard Flight 77 were recovered at the crash site at the Pentagon with the victims families being provided with a 1,000+ page book detailing every item for identification and return.
9. Radar: A total of 6 FAA and NORAD radar sites tracked Flight 77 from take off to impact. The radar data matches EXACTLY the 25 hours of flight data recovered from Flight 77’s recovered FDR, right down to the last decimal.
youtube.com/watch?v=3vqDDlS9Hyw&t=6s&ab_channel=cjnewson88
10. Insurance: American Airlines and its insurers accepted responsibility, admitting Flight 77 crashed at the Pentagon and subsequently paid out tens of millions of dollars in damages.
11. Boeing; The good folks at Boeing confirmed it was a Boeing 757 and specifically Flight 77 which hit the Pentagon.
12. Where is Flight 77? It is a fact that Flight 77 never landed anywhere, nor has anyone aboard been seen or heard from since 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
13. Even if the 9/11 attacks were an inside job, Flight 77 still hit the Pentagon and the above true facts are still true facts. “9/11 was an inside job” does not mean “flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon”, because,…
14. Pilot Skill: Hani Hanjour was a crap pilot and his flight path proves it. But he was grossly over-qualified to crash a plane – something anyone can do. A number of Hanjour’s instructors are on record stating that while he was not a good pilot, they have no doubt he crashed Flight 77 into the Pentagon. The conspiracy types always leave that part out.
15. When staging an attack that absolutely has to use planes, you use planes
Common sense.
All of the above is true no matter who planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks or why - which I know will be seen as a blasphemy by many reading this.
Now you know.
If you can do better then by all means, have at it. I am open to any more plausible alternative as to what hit the Pentagon using ALL of the available evidence while relying on fewer unproven assumptions than what I outlined above. Go ahead, be the first to even try.
Since no one ever does, and you probably just shit your pants and ran away as soon as you saw this anyway, it’s been nice knowing you.”

There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

Iraq had WMD up until 1991, as confirmed by various intelligence reports and investigations, particularly during the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War. However, after the Gulf War in 1991, Iraq was subjected to stringent inspections by United Nations weapons inspectors as part of the disarmament process mandated by UN Security Council resolutions. Iraq's cooperation with UN inspectors varied over time. While there were periods of cooperation, there were also instances of non-compliance and obstruction. This inconsistency in cooperation led to ongoing suspicions and concerns regarding Iraq's compliance with disarmament obligations.
After 1991 the assessments of Iraq's WMD capabilities were influenced by a range of factors, including intelligence reports, inspections findings, and political considerations. Ultimately, the issue of Iraq's alleged possession of WMD and its cooperation with UN inspectors was one of the key factors that led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a coalition of countries, although subsequent investigations found no evidence of active WMD programs in Iraq at the time of the invasion. So in summary there’s no clear evidence that the US lied just so they go to war with Iraq.

@hamzak7261 The provision of medically necessary care, including gender-affirming surgery for incarcerated individuals, is rooted in the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruuel and unusual punishment. Courts have interpreted this to mean that prisons must provide adequate medical care, and this includes gender dysphoria treatment when deemed necessary by healthcare professionals. This is not about "radical" policies but about compliance with constitutional protections.
If Harris made statements comparing her stance to the Trump administrtion, those comments would need to be evaluated in their specific context. Broad accusations like "deranged, psychotic lie" do not contribute to meaningful discourse and ignore the complexities of policy debates and the nuances of what each administration did. The Trump administration did roll back some policies related to transgender rights, but court rulings on prisoner healthcare have consistently upheld the right to medically necessary treatment regardless of the administration. Policies during the Obama administration related to healthcare for transgender prisoners reflected evolving standards in medical care and legal interpretations. These were not about giving "mass murderers" special privileges but ensuring that prisons meet basic healthcare standards as required by law.
The claim that Harris "bragged" about packing the Supreme Court and destroying the filibuster is misrepresentative. Those are broader policy debates involving numerous politicians, not personal crusades by Harris. Gun policy debates are also widely contested, and supporting stronger regulations does not make someone a "radical lunatic" but places them within the spectrum of legitimate policy positions.
Harris''record includes both progressive and pragmatic policies. example, her criminal justice policies in California were criticized by both progressives and conservatives, suggesting that she occupies a more nuanced political position than the "far-left radical" label suggests.
So tell me something. Who won the 2020 election?

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

@JRey-re9rl You said, “Read the posts”
Yes, READ THE POSTS.
“The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight.
The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months' duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure.
A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week.
However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable.
The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense.”

Tell me more about your “ability” to see the BS. I’d love to hear how you’re ssoo much smarter than the millions of physicists, engineers, scientists, astronomers, geologists, pro-photographers, cinematographers, doctors, etc. WORLDWIDE who were apparently too stup!d over the last half century to spot not one fake but six.
In the meantime here’s the proof that men have walked on the moon.
1. There are over 8,000 photosu available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. Tomorrow is a very big day because tomorrow will represent 50 years from the time we planted a beautiful American flag on the moon.
And that was an achievement — possibly, one of the great — considered one of the great achievements ever. And we’re going a lot further now. We’re going to the moon but we’re then going to Mars.
We have with us, of course, Buzz Aldrin, who has been an incredible gentleman. I’ve known him for years, for a long time. And we’ve been friends for a long time. But just a fantastic, fantastic man. And Michael Collins, you all know flew Apollo 11 overhead. And it’s Aldrin and Armstrong, they walked on the moon.”

@guymerritt4860 “Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

@Abundantlyfamous "what was proven to be a lie?"
Posted by @Critthought:
"Claim: Sibrel "accidentally" was sent footage from a little-accessed auxiliary archive. Fact: The footage was and is available to the general public, and was in fact sold in some gift shops. Lie
Claim: The craft was in low-earth orbit. Fact: As Dave demonstrated, none of the footage comes close to matching footage actually from LEO. In addition, GreaterSapien has shown a complete breakdown of this, including the math involved as well as the actual uncut footage showing where Sibrel intentionally edited out parts that show his deception. Lie
Claim: The camera was up against a circular window. Fact: The only circular window is in the hatch, which the camera was not against. Lie
Claim: Shadows from a single light source are always parallel. Fact: There are literally hundreds of example showing this isn't true, and in fact, in Sibrel's own film where he tries to show that the shadows are parallel, when you take the very lines he drew and extend them out farther, they can be seen to not be. Lie.
Claim: The Van Allen belts would have been deadly. Fact: Dr. James Van Allen, the man the belts are named after, stated categorically that this was false. In addition, data collected a decade prior to Apollo mapped the belts, and their intensity, allowing the safe passage. The Soviet's sent living samples to and from the Moon on Zond 5, and they survived without problems. Lie
Claim: Armstrong nearly died using the lunar landing simulator 6 weeks before Apollo 11. Fact: He ejected on May 6, 1968, more than 14 months prior to Apollo 11. Lie
Claim: They reversed the hatch the day before the Apollo 1 fire. Fact: This is probably the most ridiculous lie he told. Not only does Dave show that the hatch looked the way it did prior to that day, but the idea that it would even have been possible to reverse it overnight is beyond ludicrous; it's asinine. Lie"

@arthorse6835 Because you are being dishonest. Youtube doesn't put strike-throughs in people comments to censor them. They remove comments. And besides, strike-throughs don't censor anything if you can still read them. Right? Right.
At any rate. Let's have a look at your ramblings.
1. It's true that the Apollo crews didn't reach escape velocity. Because...they didn't need to. After the TLI burn, the spacecraft was on a free trajectory towards the Moon. During this phase, the spacecraft coasted, gradually slowing down due to Earth's gravitational pull. However, the initial velocity was sufficient to carry it to the Moon's vicinity before it would have fallen back to Earth. As the spacecraft approached the Moon, the gravitational influence of the Moon started to become more significant. At a certain point, the spacecraft entered the Moon's sphere of influence, and the Moon's gravity began to dominate, pulling the spacecraft towards it.
2. The press had to video a projection screen because the video feed which was SSTV format needed to be converted to the standard NTSC format for consumer televisions. And because they lacked a computer that could convert the format in real time, they did it by the analog means of projection, with some loss of quality.
3. Earth's reflection in helmets isn't 4x larger than the sun? Why would it be??? I think you screwed that one up.
4. Lack of radio delay. False. The delay in only noticeable 1-way because the conversation is being recorded in Houston. So in other words, if the astronauts ask a question, Nixon is free to respond immediately after he hears the question. But if Nixon asks a question he must wait at least 2.6 seconds before expecting a reply.
5. My daughter drives thru a dead zone and has no signal. Well, NO KIDDING. A dead zone means there is no signal. Also, equating cellular service to the United S-band is ignorant. Does your cellphone have a 200 foot diameter satellite dish attached to it?
6. The total fuel capacity for the Saturn V rocket was over 2 million gallons.
7. The Lunar Module used silver-zinc batteries to power its systems, including the thermal control, environmental control, and other essential systems. These batteries were chosen for their high energy density and reliability.
8. Cooling. The Lunar Module maintained a cool and safe atmosphere for astronauts through a combination of thermal insulation, an Active Thermal Control System (ATCS), and an Environmental Control System (ECS). The thermal insulation minimized heat transfer from the external environment, while the ATCS used a water/glycol loop and a sublimator to dissipate heat by sublimating water in the vacuum of space. The ECS managed the cabin atmosphere by controlling oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, temperature, and humidity, using cabin fans, heat exchangers, and water evaporators. External radiators emitted excess heat into space, ensuring a comfortable environment inside the Lunar Module.
9. Elon Musk and Space X'. Starship is designed to be a fully reusable spacecraft capable of carrying large payloads and crews to various destinations, including the Moon and Mars. Its size and ambitious mission profiles mean it needs a substantial amount of fuel. SpaceX plans to use an in-orbit refueling strategy where multiple tanker versions of the Starship are launched to transfer fuel to the Starship destined for the Moon or Mars. This approach allows the spacecraft to carry more payload and less fuel initially, with subsequent launches dedicated to refueling it in Earth's orbit. Musk has indicated that it could take up to 8 launches to fully refuel a Starship in orbit, depending on the specifics of the mission, the efficiency of the refueling process, and the amount of fuel required. Each tanker launch would carry a significant amount of fuel to be transferred to the primary Starship.
10. Apollo 12 Lunar eclipse. WRONG! That was a SOLAR eclipse.
11. Alan Bean "not knowing" he passed through the VAB's. Seriously? Bart Sibrel did the interview. He is a charlatan, stalker and convicted criminal. Sibrel omits important context from that interview. Alan Bean was also on a Skylab mission (under the VAB's) so he was most likely talking about that.
12. TV camera accident. Really? You're going to assume they pointed the camera at the sun on purpose? Ask yourself why NASA would need to fake an accidental breaking of a TV camera?
13. They splashed down was hard and the camera broke loose and hit Alan Bean in the head. So???? Why is that a concern to you?
14. The horizon of any celestial body is calculated assuming the body is perfectly spherical. On the surface of the moon you have large shallow craters, rising slope and hollows. These feature represent the "apparent" horizon, not the "true" horizon. On the moon the true horizon is 1.5 miles.
15. Film, camera and paper notes were never subjected to 250 degree F heat. That is the GROUND temperature at Lunar NOON. The Apollo crews landed during Lunar morning when GROUND temps were much lower.
16. The return/rendevouz docking done manually. So? Your argument is based on incredulity.
17. China confirmed the Apollo landings. Look up Chang'e 2
18. No, Armstrong never gave anyone a moon rock. And, it’s not a NASA Moon rock. Everything points to a mistake or to a hoax orchestrated by two Dutch artists in 2006. NASA has never authenticated the “rock” (there are no documents tracing its origins), it’s far too big to be a donated lunar sample, and its background story is nonsensical. It was reportedly donated privately in 1969 to a retired prime minister instead of being given, as was customary, to a representative of the then-current Dutch government; it wasn’t put on public display as a Moon rock would have deserved; and real donated Moon rocks were encapsulated in transparent plastic, while this one is not.
Next?

@arthorse6835 Point 3. "Therefore, the earth should appear 4x larger than the sun from the moon." What??? I think you meant to say the earth should appear 4x larger than the moon. It is. The size of the earth depicted in photos and videos depends on the focal length of the lens used and the distance from the earth. How does your not understand this prove the moon landings were faked?
Point 10. "the earth moving across the sun is indeed a lunar eclipse" Wrong! The earth moving across and eclipsing the sun is a SOLAR ECLIPSE.
"the solar is when the moon is in the middle of the sun and earth." A Solar Eclipse is when any celestial body (Earth, Moon, Mars, etc.) is between the Sun and the observer.
"What was described was in fact a LUNAR eclipse." Wrong again. A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon is eclipsed by the earth.
Point 11. "But I'm keeping in mind that if Bart can do it, so can NASA." LOL! All Bart did was cut of important context in his footage. There is no way NASA or any Hollywood studio can fake 1/6 gravity in a vacuum enviornment in continuous footage lasting hours.
Point 12. "Alan Bean of A12 breaks the color video camera once on the moon," So? Accidents are prove of a fake moon landing? Really? All the other FIVE missions didn't break a camera. So...are you really going to make an accident a point of contention?
"a roll of film is left behind" The roll of film was jammed inside the camera. It was left behind because that was protocol. All cameras and unnecessary equipment was left behind to save weight. They shot many rolls of film on the moon. One roll gets jammed and you think it was a conspiracy???
"Bean again drops another camera for live feed on the astronaut pick up in the ocean." Wrong! The camera breaks loose from its attachment point inside the Command Module when it splashes down in the ocean and it hits Alan Bean in the head.
"You really have to ask me Why NASA would fake breaking a video camera if the moon landings were fake?" Uh, yeah. You're making this a useless point of contention. NASA has ALL the video from the other FIVE missions. So why would they need to fake accidents with cameras on Apollo 12?
Point 14. "we see in the moon images nothing that remotely looks like anything close to a mile horizon." How do you know that? Did you study the images and measure the distance? How did you measure it? Did you assume you were looking at the ACTUAL horizon. How did you know you weren't looking at the LOCAL horizon such as the rim of shallow crater, a rising slope, top of a hill, etc.?
"tho we know there is no cliff or craters, thanks to other pics that show the ground area around that part." Oh really? You've looking at the ENTIRE Apollo 12 photo archive? I doubt that.
"The horizon calculations via the wikipedia link give the moon a 1.18 mile horizon, but you generously gave it 1.5 miles. Either way, the pics show nothing close to a mile." Again, how did you measure the distance just by looking at the photos? The true horizon of the moon (perfect sphere) is about 1.5 miles away. The horizon can also appear to be deceptively close because there is no atmospheric haze or other objects to judge distance. You need to explain how YOU calculated the distance using only your eyes.
Point 17. "the Chinese scientist DID say that the LM docking rendevouz was 'unbelievable' because it was nearly impossible to do manually." Wrong. He was simply amazing. He didn't say it was impossible. The docking/redevouz was practiced during Gemini and early Apollo missions leading up to Apollo 11. Your argument is based on ignorance and incredulity.
"Okaaaaay......." <---- Incredulity.
Point 18. The petrified wood "moon rock" was NOT given by the crew of Apollo 11 as I've already explained in my last post.
"It seems obvious you have a vested interest in vehemently defending the moon landings..." Is there something wrong with defending the truth?
"as well as persuading folks to fully believe them" Uh, what? Try typing that mess of words again.
"But you can rest assured that your condescension is unconvincing and actually counterproductive." I really don't care if you're convinced or not. I proved facts for all your so-called "issues". The veracity of the achievements of the Apollo program doesn't depend on your belief or my ability to convince you. Modern history is what it is. Not what you think or pretend it should be. Deal with it.

@arthorse6835 “For someone who allegedly doesn't care about whether I accept the moon landings or not, you sure do seem to have a personal goal to sway my opinion and ridicule my position on the matter.”
LOL! I’m not trying to sway you. I’m answering your “concerns” because you seem to understand very little of what you’re talking about. You're entitled to your opinions but not facts. The moon landings are factual history whether you accept them or not. Just like WWII actually happened whether you believe it or not. Facts don’t require belief.
“and haven't even addressed the eclipse issue- just whether it is a lunar or SOLAR eclipse.”
So you admit that you were wrong about the type of eclipse that occurred? Because the way you’ve been talking, you don’t seem to understand the difference. The eclipse was not visible from earth. Solar and Lunar eclipses are normally viewed from the Earth, not floating in space or standing on the moon. This is why you won’t find historical data on a solar eclipse event during the Apollo 12 mission.
“They lied. They showed an astronomy event on TV that could not have happened in Nov '69.”
They didn’t lie. You just don’t know what you’re talking about because you’re ignorant. Again, eclipse predictions are made with the idea that you are viewing it from EARTH. If you were standing on moon during the solar eclipse back in April you wouldn’t actually see the eclipse because you’re standing on the very thing causing the eclipse. Use some critical thinking. You won’t find the Apollo 12 solar eclipse in any historical records because it’s not an event that was visible from Earth! But it was visible briefly for Apollo 12 because of their position on the return trip.
“You also did not even mention the contradiction over the moon's temperatures and your silly assertion about lunar morning/dawn and how cool it was at that time.”
What contradiction? All Apollo missions landed during Lunar morning when the sun’s angle is low. If you’re standing on the moon you’d have 14 earth days of sunlight followed by 14 days of darkness. Those high temperatures on the moon refer to GROUND temperatures when the sun is directly overhead.
"The supposed 1/6 gravity on the moon looks way too much like Earth gravity video footage."
Supposed 1/6 gravity? LOL! How much gravity does the moon really have?
"Collection bags are dropped and they appear to fall the same rate as if here on earth."
Except they don't.
"It is very fake looking- but not as fake as the lift off of Apollo17 from the moon complete with sparklers"
Do you even know what's causing the sparkles? If you don't then why would assume it must be fake? The color TV camera used on the Moon actually had a black-and-white sensor with a color wheel. The colored filters on this wheel rotated rapidly in front of the camera's sensor so as to generate a sequence of monochrome images filtered in red, green and yellow. These filtered images were then blended and processed electronically on Earth to reconstitute the original colors of the scene. This system was sturdy and lightweight, but it had a drawback that if an object flashed rapidly in front of the camera it was caught by only one of the colored filters, acquiring a false coloring in the electronic processing. Now you know.
""and a perfectly timed pan up and zoom."
Because they learned from mistakes made while trying to capture Apollo's 15 and 16 departure.
"You've spent a lot of wasted time on just me."
Yes, I have. We agree on that.
"Maybe you should focus on the many, many other folks watching and posting on YT videos that also doubt the integrity of these events."
I do. That's how I found you.
"They doubt NASA, and the federal govt- rightly so."
Doesn't matter. They're just as ignorant as you.
" I'm just one little soul in a sea of many skeptics."
No, you're not a skeptic. You're a flat out denier. A skeptic is open to reasoned debate and evidence. Everything I've told you can be verified but you refuse to fact check anything I've said because you've already made up your mind.
"But with so many others now doubting this incredibly historic and monumental acheivement as evidenced by their posts on YT,"
Lmao! What evidence have any of your dullards ever posted?? All I ever see from so-called skeptics like you are arguments based on ignorance and incredulity.
"That is the saddest part of all....."
No, the saddest part is when people like you have the mindset, "I don't understand it therefore it must be fake!"

@arthorse6835 "Seems like I'm in the majority and that makes me sad- truly. Americans no longer trust or believe their own govt or media."
You're absolutely right. It's truly sad that a bunch of self-styled experts, whom you claim to be a part of, think they know more than the literal millions of credentialed engineers, scientists, physicists, astronomers, professional photographers, cinematographers, doctors, pilots, and astronauts who have no problem with the achievements of the Apollo program. But according to you, they all must be lying or have been too ignorant over the last half-century to have spotted a hoax not once but six times. Here's a fun fact for you: there isn't a single government on this planet that disputes the moon landings. And that includes countries that hate the USA. Let that sink in.

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photos available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

@TheGiftOfYahwehSMMOKE ”let’s see yours”
Absolutely!
Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photosu available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

@robymaru03 “try asking Gemini, Copilot or ChatGPT question about the moon landing”
Ok, here’s what ChatGPT had to say when asked for 10 key pieces of evidence for the Apollo moon landings.
1. **Moon rocks**: The Apollo missions brought back over 800 pounds of lunar rocks, which have unique properties not found on Earth.
2. **Lunar module debris**: The Apollo landing sites have remnants of the lunar modules, which have been identified through high-resolution lunar imaging.
3. **Retroreflectors**: Apollo 11, 14, and 15 missions placed retroreflectors on the Moon, still used today to measure the distance between Earth and the Moon.
4. **Photos and videos**: Thousands of photographs and hours of video footage were taken during the missions, showing the astronauts on the Moon's surface and various activities.
5. **Tracking data**: Thousands of ground-based and satellite tracking stations followed the Apollo spacecraft's trajectory, confirming their path to the Moon.
6. **Seismic data**: Instruments left by Apollo astronauts recorded moonquakes, providing evidence of seismic activity on the Moon's surface.
7. **Third-party verification**: Observatories and space agencies around the world, including the Soviet Union, tracked the Apollo missions and confirmed their authenticity.
8. **Apollo mission telemetry**: Data transmitted by Apollo spacecraft, including telemetry information, was received and analyzed by NASA and independent entities.
9. **Footprints and rover tracks**: Photographs from lunar orbiters show preserved astronaut footprints and rover tracks left on the lunar surface.
10. **Scientific experiments**: The experiments conducted by the astronauts, such as soil analysis and solar wind collection, provided valuable scientific data that contributed to our understanding of the Moon.

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

Pelosi did not have direct control over the National Guard’s deployment on the Capitol grounds. The decision to call in the National Guard rested more with the Capitol Police and the Department of Defense, including officials like the Capitol Police Chief, the Secretary of Defense, and the President.
In the days leading up to January 6, Pelosi and other congressional leaders were briefed on security preparations, but it wasn’t Pelosi's decision alone to approve or reject the National Guard's involvement. Reports show that the Pentagon, for example, initially hesitated to approve the request for National Guard troops from the Capitol Police, citing concerns about militarizing the situation. Eventually, National Guard troops were deployed, but by then, the situation had already escalated with rioters breaching the Capitol.

Proof humans have walked on the Moon:
1. There are over 8,000 photosu available to the public of the Moon landing missions that could not have been faked.
2. There are thousands of hours of video too.
3. Hundreds of kilograms of lunar material that has been studied and verified by astronomers and geologists all over the world and showed chemical signs of being on the Moon.
4. The LRRR data laser retroreflector arrays left by Apollo 11, and other subsequent Apollo missions, can still be interacted with today by using powerful enough lasers here on Earth.
5. The SELENE photos which show the damage to the lunar surface where we landed the Apollo missions.
6. The Chang'e 2 photos, which show the lander base.
7. Chandrayaan-2, which managed to photograph another Apollo lander base.
8. A group at Kettering Grammar School, using simple radio equipment, monitored Soviet and U.S. spacecraft and calculated their orbits.
9. Pic du Midi Observatory, which watched Apollo missions all the way to the Moon.
10. The Lick Observatory observations during the return coast to Earth produced live television pictures broadcast to United States west coast viewers via KQED-TV in San Francisco
11. Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and the Lunar Module. He could only detect messages FROM the lunar vehicles and not to them, cause the earth was between him and Huston. Also, backyard amateurs all around the world were able to tune in on the Apollo audio (not the video, that would have taken bigger hardware, but, the audio was easy) by pointing their Yagi and/or dishes at the Moon. Hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of people in many countries did exactly that.
12. The Soviet Union, who monitored the missions at their Space Transmissions Corps, who's leader Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered", describes how the Soviet Moon programme dwindled after the Apollo landing.
13. The absurdity that thousands of people who worked on the Apollo missions would have to be kept silent for years and years without a single person coming forward to claim it was a fraud.
14. In October-November 1977, the Soviet radio telescope RATAN-600 observed all five transmitters of ALSEP scientific packages placed on the Moon surface by all Apollo landing missions excluding Apollo 11. Their selenographic coordinates and the transmitter power outputs (20 W were in agreement with the NASA reports).
15. Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories. Although this probe was indeed launched by NASA, the camera and the interpretation of the images are under the control of an academic group - the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University, along with many other academic groups. At least some of these groups, such as the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, are not located in the US, and are not funded by the US government.
16. After the images shown here were taken, the LRO mission moved into a lower orbit for higher resolution camera work. All of the sites have since been re-imaged at higher resolution. Comparison of the original 16 mm
17. Apollo 17 LM camera footage during ascent to the 2011 LRO photos of the landing site show an almost exact match of the rover tracks.
18. Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.
19. Spain and Australia were 2/3rds of the DSN that received all of the TV broadcasts from the Moon.
20. Dozens of tracking stations around the world (including from enemies) used radar and radio telescopes to track all of the missions. You can find more info about this on MIT's site. The tracking was accurate to within 1 mile.
21. Spain had the largest telescope on Earth at the time, and used it to photograph the SIVB fuel dumps around the Moon (which spanned out for miles, thus were visible to a large enough telescope), as well as the Apollo 13 debris and gas field (same dynamic).
22. There are more than 100,000 photos taken from lunar orbit.
23. The Jodrell Bank Observatory tracked the movements of the Eagle Lunar Module from the beginning of its descent clear down to the lunar surface by monitoring the doppler shift in its telemetry signal.

“Conspiracy theorists and ordinary doubters often mention the press conference held by the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the Moon, noting how their expressions are once again gloomy and seem to betray unease. The astronauts utter their words very slowly, with an almost flat tone, as if they were speaking grudgingly. This, it is claimed, is evidence that they are lying uncomfortably.
Actually, if you watch the entire press conference (Figure 9.1-7) instead of just its first few minutes, it becomes evident that the three astronauts gradually relax and become more at ease while still choosing their words very carefully. There are many moments of laughter, smiles and outright jokes despite the pressure of it being their first press conference after their historic trip. Here’s an example from 37:53 in the video of Figure 9.1-8:
In other words, the gloomy still image shown by conspiracy theorists has been intentionally selected to give the wrong impression that the astronauts were deeply uneasy. Figure 9.1-9 is a different still from that same press conference: all three astronauts are smiling. Figure 9.1-10 is a sampling of some of the quips and jokes that the Apollo 11 astronauts made during the press conference.
Nevertheless, it has to be noted that almost all the Apollo astronauts were test pilots, unaccustomed to the glare of the media spotlight and trained, like all pilots when they have to report on their flight, to speak clearly and precisely, measuring their words. They were also tired not only from the trip to the Moon but also from the subsequent quarantine. They acknowledge their limited media skills even in this post-flight press conference when the discuss the Goodwill Tour that will take them around the world, visiting kings and presidents of many countries.
There’s also another practical aspect to be considered when watching this 1969 press conference with today’s eyes: in those days, portable recorders were rare (only one can be glimpsed in the huge crowd of reporters in the video) and therefore journalists had to write down, sometimes in shorthand, what the astronauts said. The official recording of the event would be released only after it had been duplicated, and this would have taken hours with the analog systems of the period, whereas reporters had to go to press as soon as possible.
Accordingly, the astronauts spoke very clearly and slowly to allow everyone to transcribe correctly and also to choose their words very carefully, since they were quite aware of the great historical importance and of the political sensitivity of everything they said. They were, after all, the first human beings in all of mankind’s history to go to the Moon and back.
Moreover, if Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had instead been at perfect ease and as cheerful as talk show hosts, moon hoax believers would probably argue that this would prove that they were actors.“ — Moonhoaxdebunked

“They’ve never conquered the radiation issue of the Van Allen Belt”
The man who discovered the belts, Dr. James Van Allen, disagrees with you.
Quote: "The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight. The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months' duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure.
A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week.
However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable.
The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense."
