In 2010 Buzz Aldrin called Apollo a cold war "stunt" that should not be included as part of history. In 1994 Neil Armstrong called on the next generations to remove one of "truths protective layers". At /r/moonhoax and /r/moonhoaxdebunked we attempt to remove those protective layers and discuss all the various aspects of the cold war stunt know as Apollo.
Scandals plagued their administrations, and ultimately forced Nixon out of office. Their handling of the Vietnam war was a disaster; a distraction from their wrongdoing was necessary, and couldn’t have come at a better time. A successful moon landing could restore faith in government & provide a morale boost for the public.
Getting something into Leo orbit isn't quite the same as getting something to the moon then off the moon again. I believe in the moon landing. But pointing out how one doesn't go against the other. Unless they deny any space program, and I believe the conspiracy theorists primarily just disregard the moon landing itself.
MOON LANDING HOAX NASA landed astronauts on the moon in 1969. By the 1970s, a bizarre conspiracy emerged — that the moon landing never happened. The conspiracy was described in a 1976 self-published book, "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle," and a 1978 movie, "Capricorn One."
I think its quite the opposite of OP. People who question things, even flat Earth or moon landing hoax, demonstrate that they are at least “thinking” about it. It’s the people that just tow the line, do whatever they are told, believe anything msm says. Those are the sheep, without critical thinking skills. Just intellectual zombies.
As to your second point, I don't doubt that you can reflect a laser off of the Moon's surface. However, MIT and the USSR were able to reflect lasers off the Moon as early as 1962. A full 7 years before Apollo 11. So that's not evidence of an actual manned lunar landing either. Hope this helps light your way closer to the truth.
Inside the United States, a small minority of people denied that we had landed on the moon from the very start. According to this nice little account by the curator of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum, around 5% of polled Americans originally denied the moon landing (his reference is a newspaper article from June 1970).
Here is a video about the Moon Landing and which conspiracy theories about the landing are actually believable. The video covers: fake Moon rocks, a fake shot that the Apollo 11 astronauts claimed that was from halfway to the Moon but it was actually shot in lower Earth Orbit, and the Van Allen Belt.
Pretty much proof we went there unless you believe there's aliens on the moon. You'll then be tasked with explaining to him why we can't see this with telescopes from Earth. And the answer is simply that the distances are immensely large. The orbiter has the advantage of being 5000x closer to the moon than we are.
One year to the day after the publication of the revelatory book "Moon Man: The True Story of a Filmmaker on the CIA Hit List", which divulges the deathbed confession of the former Chief of Security at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis New Mexico, who confessed thereon to his participation in the falsification of the first "moon landing", his ...
