STOP BEING SO FUCKING STUPID

I like all the photos of Neil Armstrong on the moon. oh wait a sec there is only 1. hmmmm.

There's a new documentary and it's pretty great.

Not if the object of focus is extremely well lit you fucking mouth breather. The sunlit foreground is a thousand times brighter than the light of the stars in the sky.
Put a flashlight down in that desert at night, focus on it, take the pic. See if you can see a single fucking star

>documentary
fictional drama you mean

First Man was pretty good, the soundtrack was pure kino desu

Dummy, Nixon wanted the star spangled banner to play during the landing, Nasa told him no. An American flag on the fucking moon says everything that needs to be said.

I like how the Astronauts talk about how stunning the stars look when on the Moon.
oh yeah they dont mention them once. hmmmmm.

I can't tell what would be more impressive. Actually landing on the moon? Or the government being able to convince the entire world that we did while also convincing the population to believe that deniers are possibly mentally ill.

>An American flag on the fucking moon says everything that needs to be said.
No it doesn't, you need to market it to the masses (who don't own a fucking telescope that's capable of seeing the flag). Television was a relatively new medium to do so, hence most of the fake footage. NASA even "lost" the original footage. The audio was probably real though.

Is moonlanding-denying a new form of maximum bait shitposting?

serious question, do you think the The sky is blue because the Suns light is blue?

>what is it about moon landing deniers that makes them so irritating?
It's because they're shitting on something so pure, so intrinsic to the human spirit, the recognition that for one brief glorious second we were one species who marvelled at our own capacity for ingenuity and intelligence and did something that would truly unite us

Okay, anons. Which entry of the Apollo trilogy is best, 11, 13, or 18?

I think more like /pol/tards
I don't think /x/ REALLY thinks it was fake

It is, kino all the way through, Spider and That's All There Is are my two favourite episodes, there are other shows/movies etc. that deal with specifics of the other missions better, but for Apollo 9/10 and 12 you can't get better

right on. the moon landing was a fucking awesome achievement, and you can just see on archival images how excited the people were all around the world. If there ever were five seconds were people around the world put their differences aside to marvel in unison at something mankind (well, the Americans did technically) accomplished, that was it.

I like all the TV interviews that Neil Armstrong has given. Oh wait a sec there only one, EVER.
hmmmmm.

I think it has more to do with more people not believing what they are being told by media and those in power as their facade thins. It's a side effect of propaganda. People lose confidence in their ability to tell what's real and what's false because pure lies are being sold as unarguable fact by the most powerful people.

>To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing in July, the network is presenting an encore of its Emmy-winning 1998 miniseries that chronicled NASA's Apollo moon missions. All 12 hour-long episodes have been digitally remastered to be in high definition.
>On July 15, all 12 digitally-remastered episodes will be available to watch on HBO Go, HBO Now and HBO On Demand. Then, on July 20 — the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing — HBO2 will air a marathon of the complete series, starting at 8:45 a.m. (ET/PT).
Fuck yeah

so you believe in the moon landing?

>If there ever were five seconds were people around the world put their differences aside to marvel in unison at something mankind (well, the Americans did technically) accomplished, that was it.
This is the thing for me, The American's did it, and nothing can ever take that from them, but it truly was an international effort to make sure it was as great as it was, for instance the TV pictures were received by the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and no matter what anyone says nobody has ever been hungrier because we landed on the moon, and no one has been colder, and certainly no one has been stupider; because at the end of the day Cause we came out of the cave and we looked over the hill and we saw fire. And we crossed the ocean and we pioneered the West and we took to the sky. The history of man is hung on a timeline of exploration.

Yeah, and I mean, I'd wager that when the day comes we finally start mining those freaking asteroids, a lot of people are going to benefit from that. And this is going to be Magellan's trip around the world when it comes to the solar system's exploration/exploitation

The apparent size of the moon is the same as the apparent size of the sun when viewed from the Earths surface, which is why a total eclipse looks the way it does with the suns corona visible but the disc hidden.

It really was, and he's my favourite of them all, he was so friendly and self effacing. As a 13 year old, it was life changing. When I heard he'd died, I picked up the phone to call in sick as I felt I just couldn't, the slightest thing was going to set me off into a a depressive cycle, but I thought to myself "what would he think of me?" and I cleaned myself up, went in and maintained an even strain through the entire day until I got home, and my fiancee presented me with my birthday present early, which was a signed print of one of the paintings he made ("The Fantasy" for those interested) because she knew how much I loved this stuff, and then I just broke down crying for a good couple of hours because I knew something so wonderful was gone from this world.

we'd have to allocate 3-4% of our GDP to nasa if they wanted apollo tier funding and even then it would take them 20 years to get us back to the moon

why do that instead of putting that money to better use, like welfare programs for the old and underprivileged?

The problem is not getting back to the moon. If there was enough will we could do it by 2030 without any problem. The challenge is a hodgepodge of missions that disperse their budget across all sorts of stuff, and that every district in every state wants their finger in the NASA pie because that is how democracy in this nation functions. With $110 billion a year and a mandate to get back to the moon, as well as spending earmarks designed to keep that spending on in-house technology development rather than outsourcing to Boeing, Raytheon, and BAE, they could easily do it. One of the most common lines in any of these films about the Apollo program is that they did it with slide rules and a computational ability that is less than your Casio watch, I'll be damned if we can't do more with what we have today. Things these days are expensive solely because of pork barrel politics.

Solving that particular problem comes down to political will and a leader who will lay down the gauntlet in terms of national credibility, of whether our nation even has the capacity to repeat such a feat. You'll have people who unironically say but they will always exist, yet the elderly will be here today and gone tomorrow - all you have to do is ask them if they want their generation's legacy to be one of indebtedness and petty politics or one focused on the grandeur of the exploration of what lies beyond.

The real challenge is getting money from the DoD - if it was my policy I'd essentially frame it as saying Gemini and Apollo turned military aviators into nigh-legendary figures, in a world where their recruitment figures are falling through the floor would they not think that 10% is a reasonable price for rebuilding such mystique? Whether that works really comes down to cajoling and beating away MIC lobbyists with a baseball bat.

There's a proverb that says "Societies become great when men plant trees who's shade they know they shall not enjoy", and I truly feel that that's what's missing from our culture. People only care about what they can get today

To be fair, I used to be one of them. The arguments are initially convincing, until you do some actual research independently. Everything the moon hoax conspiracies are based on, much like flat earth theories, preys and relies upon the uninitiated having very little to no knowledge of the science and physics involved. Unless NASA somehow built a zero-g soundstage out at Area 51, there is no way the footage could be faked. The simplest thing to point out it that dust does not behave as it does in the lunar footage under the influence of earth's gravity.

Fritz Lang's Woman in the Moon

even if you're not good at science, it takes some serious silencing of common sense to believe in the flat earth theory. the fucking greeks, for all their constant gays sex, had figured it out ffs

The moon is not zero-G.

Take your semantics and fuck yourself with them, you know what I meant.

>people believe this piece of "metal" junk literally flied to the moon
l m a o

Google words like "aperture" and "exposure" and remember that there's more computing power in your cell phone than there was on an entire Saturn V, let alone their cameras.

>flied

Fucking inbred brainlet.

It's not even worth it, if they're too fucking stupid to appreciate the difference between a modern cellphone camera (digital, tiny sensor, massive computational power thrown at algorithmic image correction for low-light photography to compensate for tiny sensor, etc) and a fully-mechanical 60's era Hasselblad shooting at a fixed f5.6 aperture on Kodak 70mm film, you might as well just let them believe everything is a gubbermint cunspirucy.

skyandtelescope.com/observing/how-to-see-all-six-apollo-moon-landing-sites/

Glad to see the usual based retards up in here. There's a reason no one likes you and girls laugh at you morons.

I'm a brainlet when it comes to this sort of thing, but wouldn't a fixed aperture cause most of the pics to be over or under exposed? How did they figure out the correct aperture to go with considering the light conditions on the moon?

>greek pederasty strawman

Might as well tell them about the third-party evidence from Japan and China while you're at it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings#SELENE_photographs

Judging by this picture of one of the lunar Hasselblads, the aperture was adjustable from a minimum of f5.6 to a maximum of f45, and focus distance was variable including infinity focus. No wonder Kubrick nicked lenses from NASA...

I am a complete neophyte at photography, but non digital cameras have something about them I can't describe that newer don't. They also feel more satisfying to use. I have some old piece of junk from soviet East Germany, I really like it (it's called Praktica)

>Reminder that Gil Scott-Heron's mindset won

Well NASA was not shut down after Apollo , there was the Space Shuttle , the ISS and planetary missions to every planet in the solar system , including Pluto. If the Lefties had won all that money would have been thrown away on new entitlement programs.

>Space Shuttle

That budget-sucking disaster kneecapped the space program for literally decades. The ISS is slightly more useful than Skylab and trying to get excited over tiny robot probes, when the last humans to walk on the surface of something that's not the planet or a satellite are dying of old age, is kind of hilarious

I mean, state and federal governments are supposed to spend $100 billion-plus per year just supporting illegal immigrants, not even our own domestic poor -- it's hard not to be bitter thinking of what NASA could've done with that sort of money.

> playing liberal on the internet just to bait people
So brave

conspiracy theory: The government never invested enough in space transportation to where it could be economically viable for civilian travel and space colonies, because at the same time as apollo is when we had globalists who were starting to push a global market and open borders and 1st world people moving into space colonies makes it very hard to flood 3rd world poor immigrants into those places

>footage is fake

Today, multiple countries have put orbiters around the moon which can precisely view and map the surface of the moon.
In the 60s and 70s, they didn't have the moon orbiters, and they didn't have computers that could do 3D modeling of the moon's surface.

The topography on the moon, as viewed and mapped out by today's orbiters, exactly matches what's in the moon landing photos and videos; the hills, craters etc all match up perfectly. Explain that.

>Explain that.

While not him, and not a Moon landing tinfoiler, for the sake of argument: the Moon got the shit imaged out of it, pre-landing. It wouldn't be hard to infer the topography from various photos taken at various stages of orbit and build a halfway-decent set

I know the landings weren't fake for all sorts of filmmaking-related reason, like how the inverse square law gives you a light source that's massively distant to the area being filmed

One of Kubrick's more underrated works imo. Armstrong was hard to work with and Buzz Aldrin was a dick. The fact that they even made it there is a miracle.

Wait we went back to the moon after the first one? How many times? I never remember seeing any coverage.
