@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold@chinpcommander The Soviets made NO ATTEMPT to verify that the Americans, who landed after Zond 5, did not simply utilize this same trickery. Why didn't the Soviets even check this to verify, since they knew the trick was successful in their own case?
@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold@chinpcommander Also, the wheat that the Americans provided to the USSR was said to be an incentive for the Soviets to behave, lest the wheat be delayed. What if the terms were to shut up about Apollo?
@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold@chinpcommander People do not believe the ex-head of Roscosmos today who expressed his disbelief of the moon landings and his desire for proof from Americans. Can you imagine if they had tried to express doubts in the middle of the cold War?
@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold@chinpcommander You can find information debunking or putting into question almost everything listed in that thread. I used to believe we went to the moon, but after truly looking into it, I cannot accept that we ever stepped foot there.
@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold@chinpcommander A cursory glance over that thread reveals more of the usual claims. I've heard them before. Have you spent any time looking into each claim? Its easy to be swayed by these points until you examine them for yourself objectively. Not in the hopes of confirming your beliefs.
@CaliYugaBoomer@_MedGold Thing is, it wasn't very convincing for many people, hence the doubts. Also, the 60's had the ability to use harnesses for film productions, and also the ability to run video footage back at slower speeds than recorded. What more would they need to simulate low g?
@dragnauct @Dean0Mathews@mmpadellan@NatetheLawyer Some time ago, it was revealed that @mmpadellan was receiving funding from democratic sources, which was likely paying him for his opinions. It seems an open and honest conversation with him would be impossible due to the financial conflicts. Bouzy is a tribe-member. You are not.
