Technically, they made it first if you count lithobraking as a valid landing technique.

Technically, lithobraking is the final stage of any descent, but high speed lithobraking is usually not conducive for future mission objectives.

It would be interesting to learn what the ā€œmoonlanding never happenedā€ crowd has to say. Must be some next-level brain exercise to keep the story going. šŸ˜„

Aren’t they generally ok with crew-less landings and mostly deny actual humans landing on the moon?

Frozengyro@lemmy.world on 26 Aug 2023 13:16 next collapse

Yea, they claim if we’re only getting rovers out there now, there no way humans actually made it there.

Not the more crazy ones. They believe there's literally a barrier in the sky that prevents objects from going past a certain altitude. It stems from old abrahamic religious texts of an impenetrable "firmament" surrounding the Earth.

I believe humans walked on the moon but they lied about how they got there.

And sunsets, and parallax effect, and visible curvature, etc etc.

I’m not doubting it’s real. (It’s pretty obvious with the reflections on the solar panels.) But, the lighting looks weird on the Moon, like it has this painting quality to it.

We should colonize it so we can give it a repaint!

It’s a combination of two major factors: The camera is pretty low-resolution, both in its ability to take video, and pixel density, and because there’s no atmosphere to give us the ā€œblurā€ and color filtration we’re so used to seeing around objects.
