Most people I've brought the moon landing up to think the moon landing was fake. I usually point out a few examples to explain away the their arguments. Also I add that thinking it was fake is a huge slap in the face to all the skilled people who made it happen.

I feel like I'm going crazy. But everything I've looked up are credible sources, unlike some stupid YouTuber pointing to the the flag and saying "there's no wind on the moon, how do you explain that sheep!"

They put a fucking pole through the top of the flag to keep it straight, because they also realize there was no fucking wind. A kindergarten could work out how to do that.

The real cover-up about the flag is so much more fun. The astronauts were sworn to secrecy for decades.

Then decades later, some scientists were taking high resolution photos of the moon that weren't quite good enough to see the flags themselves but did show the shadows of them. But they couldn't see a shadow for the Apollo 11 flag, and then NASA had to come clean.

When they took off from the Moon, Buzz Aldrin saw the thrust of the spacecraft blow the flag over. When he told NASA about it in the debriefing they told him "you can never tell anyone this."

That's just a psyop, NASA and the CIA were hiding some of the world's leading stable diffusion models for the time in a secret underground Data center somewhere in the Nevada desert.

I have had some sucess pointing out the USSR was tracking it and would love nothing more than to call out the US if they had faked it.

So what you're saying is they not only faked the moon landing, they also kept these amazing computer graphics from us gamers all this time?

Truly monstrous.

I came for transforming monke robots, but what I got was the most kino character death out of all children's cartoons.

Counter point - Actually good CGI in 1993:

The entire moon is just CGI. Prove me wrong, go there and live stream from the moon to show you can really stand on it. I bet you won't.

[–] olejellylegs@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I think you’re wrong.

Unless the t-rex was running it was a giant physical model. Likely in this shot zero to little cg was used. Hell I have the open matte version of the film where only digital shots are cropped, this one ain’t.

Additional counterpoint: granddad worked on Apollo and if it was all fake, lots of real world shit I’ve personally experienced wouldn’t make sense. Production and Design awards, call backs during Apollo 13, the secrecy etc…

Cool, since you have that version of the film I'm sure you'll be willing to share it? I've seen 2 matte versions, but none like you're describing.

You don't seem to understand what this sub is for. Since your uncle worked for Nintendo, I'm sure you know the moon landing took place a few years before OPs example of awful CGI from 1996. I argued that much better CGI existed in 1993. That's still at least two years off from the moon landing.

Everyone is making fun of people who claim it was faked. I'm glad your cousin was the King of Space. That's cool. I missed it by 3 space votes in the last space election. I'm jealous.

If dino DNA existed in amber mosquitos in 93, I wonder if cloning or CGI would've been cheaper

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Lol, people still believe in the moon.
