     > faked everything and got away it while the whole world watched
     
     both seems implausible tbh

     @Moon @Hoss although people also didn't know about the atomic bomb until the day it dropped, so at least some massive secret conspiracies work some of the time and have the intended result

     Because, if you did your research, you would understand that landing on the moon is a soft impact and, due to the low gravity, requires very little thrust to slow down the landing (and taking off utilizes explosive bolts).

     If you also did your research, instead of speculating about the achievements of the greatest engineers of our time (with no actual evidence), you would understand that the moon landing EXCEEDED expectations and was such a soft landing that the shock absorbers didn't even activate.

     This is all presuming you actually look into things before challenging their validity. I know, backing up your beliefs is difficult. Stinky.

     It does strike me as funny that someone calling everything a psyop would believe in the moon landing.

     To be clear, I believe in the moon landing but also don't believe a lot of conspiracies surrounding the government.

     Some sure, others no.

     Whaaaaat? They landed on the moon and then also safely returned from it using a box wrapped in mylar which left no crater, what's so hard to accept about that

     @lain @Hoss I'm not surprised the lost the stuff tbh. my main reason I don't believe it was faked is that if we faked it the Russians would have outed us instantly.

     @Hoss Moon landing hoax is kook slop made to larp for the elites. They wish they could fake something that big but you cant. The regime's strength is in spin not fakery.

     Sputnik didn't rattle American leadership because the commies sent a bleeping doodad up into orbit. It rattled them because it was the Soviets saying "We can throw shit at you". An almost-literal shot across the bow.

     It was never about le science™ it was about seeing how far you can send something on a rocket. If you can reach space you can reach DC or Moscow

     The real redpill regarding the Space Race is that it was only barely about going to fucking space at all. It was about building ICBMs, which both sides had accomplished by the end of the Space Race. The propaganda bullshit that was used by both sides to justify the construction of world-annihilating weapons had run its course and was no longer necessary.

     When America "landed" on the Moon the Soviets were given the perfect out to stop wasting resources they couldn't afford to keep spending on the Space Race. They saved a lot more face than they otherwise would have if they had simply surrendered.

     @Hoss The only thing that gives me pause is that the Soviets didn't tear it apart. Every other thing I've learned about it convinces me that hoaxing the moon landing was what Kubrick did to be initiated into the Illuminati or whatever it's really called

     @narada @Hoss look at it now, we're using the guise of colonising Mars under Victory for Science™ and show of Human Unity but you know the second nation can master a mass off earth colony orbital or on another celestial body they're strapping nukes to that thing and aiming it from above.

     They probably thought "bah, who cares about that grainy footage, in 10 years landing on the moon will be trivial"
