My brother believes the moon landings were faked and filmed on a giant soundstage.
He cited all sorts of “evidence” including the flag flapping in the “wind”.
I asked him why, after going to all the trouble and expense of trying to convincingly fake the moon landings, would NASA install fans.

It’s even simpler than that. The Soviet Union was the biggest US enemy at the time. They obviously would have tracked the flight from launch to landing. Why would they go along with a US conspiracy? Wouldn’t they be the first to say it was fake?

The moon landing was fake. NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to stage it, but that perfectionist bastard insisted on shooting the exterior scenes on location…

Nah man, it was Quentin Tarantino. That’s why the astronauts are all barefoot.

Otherwise the flag would fall flat, duh.
(\s for whoever thinks this isn’t absurd enough.)

The Van Halen radiation belts rock too hard though.

By now, I really hoped Elon Musk would be in orbit around Uranus.

Just tell him small-minded people can’t comprehend big things and see if he even gets it. Which is true, but also a dick thing to say like that if he is smart enough to understand the slight.
Sadly, apparently bouncing a laser off the moon via the reflectors left up there by Apollo missions isn’t hard exactly, just expensive to get the right equipment to do it right.

Which is pretty crazy when you think about it, hitting a target about 1.3 lightseconds away. As in, if you could sight it, you’d be looking at where it was 1.3 seconds ago. Because it is moving at about 1km/s relative to us. And don’t read that as km/h, that’s one kilometer every second, so by the time you see it, it’s already about 1.3km from where you see it, so you need to lead it by about 2.6km to hit it but aim your sensor at the apparent image.
Though it’s so far away that it doesn’t look that hard and the angle of difference between where you aim the laser and where you pick up the return signal is less than 0.00001 degree (thus you can solve that problem by ignoring it but still, just hitting that tiny distant moving target at all is impressive).

I can’t see a problem with the shadows, what I am questioning though is why isn’t the cat wearing a space helmet?
I can understand not needing a spacesuit because the fur will keep it warm, but it’s really being let down by the lack of head protection and air supply!!yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Tell me you don’t understand whiskers without telling me you don’t understand whiskers.

C’mon, didn’t you ever go to school? Everyone knows that moon cats cast opposite shadows.

Yes, clearly visible: Astro Cat’s shadow could only have been created by studio spotlights.

Indeed, the cats tail should cast a shadow. Moon landing was fake.

It’s always interesting how small details can spark big conversations. Sometimes perspective, lighting, or simple editing can make things look unusual at first glance. Either way, it definitely gets people looking a little closer.
