(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)

You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.

Yeah, but think about what the GOVERNMENT could afford! They were SUPER rich back then!

But that's a low-budget show. The Apollo Program had billions to invest in VFX.

The special effects were simply building practical rockets and sending astronauts to the actual moon to make it look unscripted.

My god! They fooled us all by faking the moon landing with an actual moon landing!

Looks legit, what's the point here?

The reason the conspiracy exists is because the video footage is staged to match the audio. Obviously there wasn’t a camera crew on the moon.

Yeah, I'm gonna need more than your incredulity to convince me. Like, fun that you think it is inconceivable, but your inability to imagine has no bearing on reality. Especially when there is plenty of evidence to suggest they actually filmed and broadcasted it live. For example, the fact that a live television broadcast was a primary goal of the mission, or the fact that RCA made custom TV cameras for the Apollo program , or that the broadcast lasted for hours, or any of the analyses out there that shows the video is likely real. Also, no one suggested that the Apollo astronauts had a camera crew with them - what a bizarre thing to mention.

Or something like the reflection of the astronaut with the camera in the visor of the astronaut he was taking a picture of.

Decades since 1969 and not a single one of the thousands of people who would have had to be involved to make this hoax happen has talked. The Soviets also either never caught wind of it or decided not to embarrass their biggest rival who they were constantly trying to embarrass.

This is the best-kept and worst-kept secret at the exact same time. Do you really buy that?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You’re misinterpreting what I’m saying due to my poor word choices haha. I’m not saying it’s fake. The camera is mounted to the lander and there is a delay in the footage because they had to do some kind of conversion in the video to be able to watch on tv. That’s where many of the conspiracy theories come from. Most people don’t know that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
