@LupusMartis @CamoDiver @lemon_logger3 @SolBrah "into a topic he's passionate about" Being passionate does not make the topic less nonsensical

@HenryFlashman @CamoDiver @lemon_logger3 @SolBrah It really means he put a lot of time and effort into a topic he's passionate about, and his conciliatory prize is having midwits gawk at this fact.

They want you believe this aluminium foil wrapped hunk of junk went to the moon and back. The amount of fluoride in the brain to swallow this is staggering.

@MarchandSurgery @FlerfCrusher Well that makes mensa worthless.

@FlerfCrusher Im literally a Mensa member.

If anything were to happen to the Artemis II astronauts on this mission, it would be an amazingly strong argument that the original lunar landing was fake, exonerating all skeptics. If we can't circle the moon 57 years later, we probably didn't land on it and get back in 1969.

@Tonydoetwo @slave_2_liberty They're all fake space missions

@slave_2_liberty is this is another katy perry blue origin type FAKE space mission?

Is it weird that we're not seeing footage of inside the capsule while they're in space? I mean we are in the information age after all! They were "live streaming" from the Moon 50 years ago.. what gives?

@_Simon_K @Jenny_1884 Imagine looking at that black and white blurry mess and trying to use it as proof of anything. 😂

@Jenny_1884 Powerful amateur telescopes can observe the landing modules that were left on the moon. So yeah, the moon was visited in the 60s and 70s. Merely 70 years after the first powered aeroplane flight in 1900 at kittyhawk in the USA. Unbelievable but true

Why has it taken 50yrs to just go around the moon? Is anyone else starting to question whether the moon landing really happened?

@Jenny_1884 You're only just starting to question it now?

@Mademechangeit @CamoDiver @lemon_logger3 @SolBrah Lasers were supposedly bounced off the moon long before reflectors went up there.

@HenryFlashman @CamoDiver @lemon_logger3 @SolBrah I can bounce a laser off the moon today because American astronauts put a reflector on it in 1969

@CamoDiver @lemon_logger3 @SolBrah "I have a background in aerospace" really means "I'm so invested in obvious nonsense there's no way I can admit it because my entire identity will fall apart"

No one seems to doubt the reality of the Saturn V rocket. I have a background in aerospace, and can tell you that making the giant multi-stage rocket is the hardest part. They followed a progressive development program that experimented openly, increased in complexity, and had both tremendous talent as well as public failures. If some hurdle had been hit (radiation shielding, flimsy equipment), the solution would be to just launch more rockets and put more mass into orbit to overcome the issue. Half the landings, twice the mass budget. Every moon landing saw improvements in technological sophistication and generated ever larger amounts of high quality films, photos, and data. A fake program would still have to build all those giant expensive rockets, but then what? Just waste them going to orbit and back while also blowing crazy amounts of money on movie sets and special effects, plus all the money spent on secrecy? They put an entire space station up with a single launch, so clearly the thing could perform heavy lift. It was easier and more useful to do the real thing than to try and fake it, especially faking it six times with the whole world watching.

@Retiremyass It's not weird it's not real

Why no crew video feed with Artemis II? Why all the animation? Why the cutaway to the crowd when the boosters detached? This launch is weird.

@TheKevinDalton You can't prove it's real.

Just picked up my son from elementary school and was blown away that ZERO parents or kids were aware of the Artemis II launch. Have we lost complete interest in space travel?

@spaugh_tyl39382 @9mmsmg 🙄 They is whoever is telling you what you should believe. You can't prove anything. You're part of a religion. You're told what to think and believe and you just believe it without question.

@HenryFlashman @9mmsmg Who is "they"? The USSR and China also affirm the moon landing

What really sucks about the moon launch is that people are so schizo that even with a ton of evidence, they'll never believe it. There's nothing we can do to prove it, either. They will say it's impossible because of the Van Allen belt, despite them having no clue what it is. It's just something they heard from another schizo and they repeat it. Honestly, they'll probably double down and say the moon and space don't even exist.

@realRick_AUS "shooting something into the air proves the earth is a globe" The midwittery is strong here...

Not a good day for flat earthers 😅

@STrinity45 @9mmsmg You've done everything but go to space. You've never been to space. We're not arguing about the existence of "pieces of shuttle"... We're talking about going to space. Which you've never been to.

@9mmsmg @HenryFlashman Same with an immediate family member. Worked on Hubble, went to FL for a launch, stuck head in shuttle prior to liftoff. I have a piece of shuttle from them. But even they admit the moon stuff is sus. It makes more sense that its fake rather than believe the nonsense they sell.

@9mmsmg All you have is insults. No proof of anything.

@HenryFlashman It's not my fault you're the equivalent of a caveman who just saw fire.

@9mmsmg That proves nothing.

@HenryFlashman I worked in aerospace my entire adult life until I retired.

@Lisa9Sophia You'll be first in line won't you Lisa?

BREAKING: We are going to war What Albanese was too gutless to tell the nation last night is Australia is sending troops to Iran We have been forced to the table And we must, it’s the right decision

@TheCakeEquation @corandog @Chesschick01 Your idea of proof is "someone told me" The person making the positive claim has the burden of proof. That's you. I'm sorry this is so hard for you to understand.

@HenryFlashman @corandog @Chesschick01 You're claiming it isn't true. I mean, if I have to explain your own English to you... 🤦 They went & are going back. That's a fact not a claim; proven by observation, & that proof has been verified by the scientific community - tens of thousands of scientists worldwide.

Before you post about Artemis II, please read this: We will not be landing on the moon. WE ARE GOING AROUND THE MOON. This is historic because this is the furthest humans will ever travel away from Earth. The Apollo 13 mission in 1970 holds the current record for the farthest humans had traveled, set at roughly 248,655 miles away from Earth, necessitated by their abort trajectory. The Artemis II crew will travel roughly 250,000+ miles from Earth. Breaking the Apollo 13 record. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@TheCakeEquation @corandog @Chesschick01 😂😂😂 What claim did I make? The claim is "we are going to the moon". I'm asking "how did you prove this to be true?" That's not a claim. How did you prove your ridiculous belief to be true? You didn't. You were told and you believed.

@HenryFlashman @corandog @Chesschick01 You're the one making the "claim." The rest of us understand that they're going to the moon.

@BTCBreadMan @btc_ireland And yet it works!

@btc_ireland That’s retarded

My best friend is 36 years old. His wife is pretty, but she’s big. Like, really big. He’s being patient with her because she’s dieting and exercising, but she’s only lost a couple lbs in 6 months despite being in a “calorie deficit”. How do I explain to him that it’s impossible to stay fat on a calorie deficit, and that she’s obviously lying to him?

@MediaSOI There is no point. It's always been theatre. Choice is an illusion.

I understand why there are such huge numbers of people who don’t vote. People voted to leave, the government just decides that we are going to rejoin. What’s the fucking point?
