Moon landing. fake or real?
I personally believe it's real but many say it was made on a set and it's entirely fake and we never went to the moon. What do you think?

Retro-reflectors are at each of the Apollo landing sites. Buy a high power $100,000 laser and check for yourself. It will take 2.6 seconds at the speed of light for the reflection to get back to you.
Real. There was no way to fake the photo;s, film, and various effects from men walking (or trying to run) on the moon, and the retroreflectors left by the Apollo missions are still used every day to measure the earth-moon distance,
I always assumed it was real.
But as technology improves it looks a little suspect.
the best argument ive heard is if it was faked the soviets woulda been all over nasas shit
plus if the moon was really madea cheese the french woulda went there
Depressingly enough, I think it was fake and staged.
Think about it, like, 50-60 years later we ended up sending a robot on Mars and it was like the GREASTEST accomplishment ever.
So landing on the moon in the 60s sounds like total bullshit to me
So your argument is because we sent a robot on mars in the current day, it must have been impossible to land on the moon in 69? Weird argument.
But the soviets agreed we landed on the moon. They had every single reason to say we didnt... unless we actually made it first.
Real. There is leftover tech on the moon you can see with a telescope. The ISS is also real and you can see it with a pair of binoculars.
The men and women that worked on the Apollo missions and the men who went to the moon are heroes!
And NASA wants to get us back on the moon. Elon Musk wants to take us to Mars. Spaceflight and Space colonization is the future.
Watched a documentary once that said many astronauts and NASA members involved in the 1969 moon landing died shortly after the mission. 🤔
In general not true. But, I do believe there was one mission where the astronauts on that mission lived noticeably shorter lives due to space radiation.
There was another crew that just due to luck escaped becoming "walking dead men" on the return trip to earth as there was a significant solar flare that ejected a lot of material towards earth that hit something like 14 hours after splashdown.
Had that occurred while they were out of low earth orbit the radiation would have caused so much damage to the astronauts that they would have died within a week or so.
All the talk by Musk and others about a manned mission to Mars is pure hokum at this point because of the deep space radiation issues - especially during solar flares.
It would take a truly massive spacecraft to contain enough mass to protect the crew and most crew occupied spaces (to prevent things from becoming radioactive - and then having those things transported around the crew areas). Typical estimates is for it to contain the crew, command/control center, and normal work areas inside a vessel that holds 10 ft of water or water ice, or something like 15 ft of polyethylene plastic on all sides (the masses are about the same between these two options).
People theorize about some kind of Star Trek force field that will stop the radiation... but, no one has any idea's of how to build one that works against different kinds of radiation. So we are left with simple mass of a kind that's good at radiation shielding.
The Van Allen radiation belt is something that's rarely talked about when it comes to space travel not to mention the extreme fluctuations in temperature. It's laughable when science books and documentaries said by the year 2000 people will live and work (colonize) on the moon. 😂
I'm NOT a member of the flat earth society.
They could have built a moon base (mostly underground) and had a moon colony, accepting that about every 50-100 or so round trips from the earth to the moon and back would kill the crew and passengers due to a solar flare event. That's actually better odds than sailing to the Americas from Europe in the 1700's and well into the 1800's.
Going further than that is very problematic.
The international space station, and all other orbiting space stations every built are in a low enough orbit that the earths magnetic field adequately protects their crews against most normal space radiation events.
Its suspicious that they somehow lost the data they needed to prove that it happened.

Also some of the videos they tried to pass as being real are laughable
The Apollo moon missions were very very and very expensive. Once we did it, and did a number of science missions the excitement of achieving the goal wore off and people started looking at the cost versus the payback. The last several moon missions were canceled.
Starting about a decade ago it was decided that a return trip and the establishing of a permanent base on the moon as a prelude to a Mars mission would be worth it (despite the cost) - so expect us to be back on the moon in another 5 years (if not sooner).
That was not your question.
As for if it happened, see other answers in this tread. In summary they could not have faked the photographs and a number of other things, and the retroreflectors they left on the moon are still there and are used every day by several different nations to measure the earth moon distance (and chart it over the decades - very interesting information when you see the patterns).
"Current year" fallacy. What we're capable of in the modern day has absolutely no bearing at all on what was possible in the '60s
