(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.)
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
Why was that kept a secret for so long?
Because everything at the time was about tricking the Russians.
Fake moon landing, aliens built the pyramids why do conspiracy theories insist on robbing humans of their monumental achievements. My guess is that people who create and share conspiracies like those are too dumb to realize that other people have different knowledge than they do.
It's probably because most of the people that believe these things are impossible can't even chew with their mouths closed.
Ah yes, I see you've met the muskboys.
why do conspiracy theories insist on robbing humans of their monumental achievements
Uh, JFK and 9/11 were monumental achievements?
You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.
I saw a rebuttal that said the special effects at the time couldn't have faked it.
Wasn't 2001 also made at that time? As I recall, that was incredibly realistic (mostly), far more so than a cheap TV show
(Not saying that 2001 is proof, just that ToS isn't a great comparison)
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD
However, for its time TOS effects were often really good. People expected the typical B-movie styles but got believable visuals.
