I want to debunk the fact that people think the moon landing is fake. The moon landing is real because there were Moon rocks that were brought back that weighed 842 by Apollo missions that were not found anywhere on Earth and they were studied by scientists worldwide . There are thousands of photos and videos taken by the astronaut on the moon showing consistent lighting, shadows, and other details that align with the lunar environment and they were analyzed.
There might not be any stars in the photos or videos but the only reason there are no stars is because if you take a picture of a brightly lit scene your camera speed is going to be slow so small things might not show in the picture or video. The camera quality is not as good as the camera quality today. The flag that was set on the moon might look like its waving wind but it only looks like that because the flag has been crumbled up somewhere so the wrinkles did not fall out.
Observatories and space organizations around the world tracked the Apollo missions and confirmed their flight and landings. It’s supposed to take about 3 days to get to the moon and it took Neil Armstrong 4 days to get to the moon and it took Apollo 8 four days also to get to the moon. Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the take off directly and hundreds and thousands more people witnessed it on tv. Other countries even tracked the moon landing and they can all admit that the landing is real. Many different astronauts shared their experience on the moon.The spacecraft was launched July 16 and it landed July 20th. It took them 3 days to get back from the moon to earth and that’s the time it would usually need to get back. Astronauts placed retroreflectors on the surface which are still used today to measure the distance between the moon and earth. The data was monitored by NASA and tracking stations around the world.
The footprints of Neil Armstrong and the Apollo astronauts are still visible today. There were actually twelve men to step foot on the moon. There were 6 flags put on the moon but now there are 5 flags still standing according to the pictures. It has been over 50 years since they have been to the moon but the reason they are not going back is because they don’t have enough money to go back and they have safety issues that need to be fixed with orion.
