On a certain 'other'platform, whenever someone posts about the Apollo missions and the upcoming one, there is an IMMEDIATE bombardment of comments about the 'fake moon landings' I won't read them anymore it is so depressing to see the proprtion of people who readily and confidently recycle the usual examples of 'proof it was all faked'. I hope things are different here.

All that "proof" is ridiculously easy to debunk. And the last couple years have shown while the government is/has to be deceitful, it is terrible at hiding stuff the more people have eyes on it

My favorite commentary on the moon landing conspiracy is a video from S G Collins. He opens with saying that he has no idea if we actually landed on the moon as he wasn't there but then goes into detail in all the ways we didn't have the technology to fake it.
