CGI in 1988.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!

The best argument against the moon landings being fake is the sheer amount of people involved in the Apollo project. Estimates go up to 400'000 people (with different levels of involvement). If it had all been fake, someone would have blabbed by now.

Actually the best argument would be that the Soviets didn’t raise holy hell about it being fake.

Apollo 11 was able to be tracked by radio the entire trip to the moon. The radio transmissions and The television broadcast was unencrypted over plain radio. I’m sure the Soviets were able to verify the entire mission in real time. If there was even a hint that the moon landing was fake, the Soviets would have been throwing it in the US’s face the instant it happened.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 minutes ago

Soviet probes were on the surface the same week Apollo 11 landed.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 1 points 37 minutes ago

You don't think your conspiracies big enough. Obviously the Soviet Union was in on it, something, something New World Order. Nobody knows what's to be gained for whom, but that is what conspiracy theories are made of.

They could basically just draw unshaded geometric shapes back then lmao

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

But someone has blabbed, why do you think it's a conspiracy /s

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I remember when I was in kindergarten and the teacher was cool for reminding us that Beast Wars is coming up soon in couple of hours, so we could have something to look forward to going home!

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think it was fake at all, but I don't think I've ever heard a denier say it was cgi. They say it's a stage.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

on the moon

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

The Moon landing was staged, but Kubrick insisted on shooting on location.

[–] CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

That's why NASA conveniently lost all the video footage of the moon landing event, because they know we would laugh at how fake it looks if we could see it today.

[–] darthsundhaft@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Hey hey hey, don't talk smack about Best Wars. Hands down still one of the best damn Transformer shows out there. Writing was at least tiny bit better than G1 but what really made the show was the characters and dialogue. You don't see a lot of shows with that kind of vibe/quality anymore.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

Am I a joke to you?!

[–] pet1t@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Yes but the government had much better CGI that wasn't available to the public yet, duh

/s obligatory

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

MAXIMIZE !!

TERRORIZE !!

then there was Waspinator: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Whole USA is fake. Columbus never discovered new continent he just faked it for money

[–] tazeycrazy@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

The moon landing is easier to think of as faked now as we only get the highlights. Landing, flag and a few bounces. The actual moonwalk was a couple hours. They where setting up stuff, getting samples. Buzz was running around for some reason. People at the time had live evidence and where able to watch it at home.The only thing they didn't have was chat distracting them and asking questions that had already been answered.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

which one had the charlie browns?

Although the researchers never found the telemetry tapes, they did discover the best visual quality NTSC videotapes as well as Super 8 movie film taken of a video monitor in Australia, showing the SSTV transmission before it was converted. These visual elements were processed in 2009, as part of a NASA-approved restoration project of the first moonwalk. At a 2009 news conference in Washington, D.C., the research team released its findings regarding the tapes' disappearance. They also partially released newly enhanced footage obtained during the search. Lowry Digital completed the full moonwalk restoration project in late 2009.

Not really, how many times have straightforward cock-ups happened with the government in your life? Large organisations fuck up constantly in mundane ways, history skews far more in favour of cock-ups than conspiracies.

Also if the moon landings were fake, the Soviets absolutely would have known and revealed it to the world.

if you reeeaaaally zoom in, you can see it's actually Epstein's and Trump's faces, along the 👌 emoji

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 20 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Opinions of the guy aside, I recall it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson who made the argument that it simply is cheaper and easier to go to the moon than to fake it and maintain the coverup.

Like, we can't keep secrets for shit, but that's the one that stays kept?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They are already claiming that the Artemis mission was fake due to cuts between the camera shots on the livestream ಥ_ಥ

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)
