Why do people think the Moon Landing was faked, directed by Stanley Kubrick?

What is it about space travel in rockets that make people call bullshit? I've never seen anyone doubt planes can take off, or that rockets can use liquid fuel, or even that you can communicate with others wirelessly.

Like I've seen people say "how did they talk to the astronauts, did they drop a phone line?" but I've never once seen anyone doubt the fact that pilots can communicate with air traffic control.
>>
>>214763423
Kubrick worshippers would eat his turds as they slipped out of his tightie whities. Kubrick went senile and claimed he helped make the shots/compose the set when we have multiple technologies developed specifically for the landing.

It's an ego obsessed creative mentally breaking down and then not understanding that you can't claim credit for something provably not related to you.

You think a hunk of garbage can survive rocket exhaust, G-gorces, radiation, atmospheric re-entry? I remember someone who allegedly worked there said they were afraid to drop a screwdriver or a wrench or something because it would rip through the aluminium foil - oh, excuse me, the *ahem* "hull".

So? They literally trained for this.

There is a huge problem with how all information is presented. People with talent don't make infographics and documentaries. Hacks do that.
If you have questions about the moon landings the information is hard to find and when you find it the information is presented poorly by people who don't actually understand the information.

There is no one on this board who could explain to you how the lunar lander fits into a rocket and how it separates from the rocket. No one can explain the actual science of how the lunar lander is capable of lifting off the moon and how it gets back to earth.
You have a few stupid people who think they understand and they will get very angry when challenged, which only feeds the skeptics. You argue with someone who presents himself as an expert in rocket science but when pressed they don't know anything about it, so you go ''aha! it is a hoax after all!''
Probably the best way of understanding it is would be playing Kerbal Space Program, but that game is boring so most people don't bother.

>>214763866
Apollo 11 was still the first time the entire mission profile was attempted start to finish. Never before had they landed on the Moon, operated on the surface, and relaunched to dock in orbit. Testing pieces separately =/= proof it all works seamlessly on the first integrated run, Apollo 1 fire killed 3 astronauts in ground test which shows how dangerous even the “early steps” were. Yet somehow Apollo 11 has no catastrophic failures in actual lunar landing despite razor-thin margins. Fuel down to seconds, antenna aiming, manual landing off target, ascent never tested outside sims and perfectly framed by camera positioned manually with manual timing mechanism to capture it all flawless

Compare to Apollo 13: one random tank blows and the whole mission is nearly lost, and yet Apollo 11 = picture perfect, historic TV broadcast, clean re-entry, healthy astronauts on camera hours later. Not saying “no testing was done,” just that testing doesn’t explain why the riskiest, unproven parts worked flawlessly first try. Sure could just have been a perfect mission, but plenty to be suspicious about and physical mental health of astronauts combined with their post mission press conferences along with how critical success doesn't sit right

>>214764012
Good point, I can't claim to understand it. I do have this resource https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/main.html, with a bunch of the documentation of the apollo program. A few people talked about the communications, I saw on that site that the communication was a combination of satellites that relayed S Band radio signals to earth.

I keep mentioning time and time again the Lunar lander never flew much beyond going to and from the earth.

I never see people doubt how those heavy ass all metal planes full of hundreds of people can fly in the sky. I think because they see it with their own eyes.
>>
>>214764014
>just that testing doesn’t explain why the riskiest, unproven parts worked flawlessly first try.

Stuff went wrong, Armstrong had to pilot the module manually iirc, the computer didn't work correctly. And you're missing the fact that they all did test these stages. Apollo 10 flew all the way to the moon, released the lander, then without touching down, reattached the lander to the command module, just to test the lander's ability to descend and ascend. Apollo 11 obviously came after Apollo 1, so clearly the engineers were able to learn from and correct their mistakes.
It was no where near a perfect mission. And those astronauts undergo training to adjust to those conditions in the first place.
>>
>>214764096
what kind of training exists for a 7-day round trip into literal void, with no atmosphere, no landmarks, no escape hatch? minimal sleep, microgravity wrecking your body, plus constant stress that one wrong move = death. Earth orbit missions before Apollo? pilots came back physically drained, sometimes barely able to walk, and those were much shorter

look at extreme expeditions on Earth - Everest climbs, polar treks, solo ocean crossings. Explorers always return damaged: frostbite, lost fingers, weight loss, trauma, months of recovery, but Apollo crew goes through the most extreme expedition in human history, return through violent re-entry, then within 3 weeks they’re in a press conference looking like they just came back from a business trip.

No visible trauma, no exhaustion, no breakdowns, just calm suits at a desk telling the story of “man’s greatest adventure”

The problem is that plebbit Neil deGrasse Tyson types just "believe the science" and wont even entertain obvious fucking questions about it.

That's why I like these guys:
https://www.youtube.com/@theapollodetectives/videos

They do shit like ask why when you put the same type of Kodak film the NASAfags claim they used to take photos on the moon in a vacuum chamber it demonstrably degrades.

No matter what you believe should you just be expected to trust NASA when it comes to obvious questions like, how can a battery from 1969 run all their shit for all that time? How did they have enough resources in their backpacks to do extended moon walks? How did they get in and out of the LM and their suits multiple times and repressurise without leaks when there's moon dust sticking to literally everything, including the seals on their suits and the LM door? How come the radio antenna on the moon rover that's pointed back at Earth doesn't lose transmission when they go over a bump and points in a different direction outside the stated tolerance?

A fucking kindergartener could ask these obvious questions and they'd still try to shut him down as a 'Moon Landing Denier' instead of giving him a fucking answer. Doesn't that at least make you wonder?

Retards don't bother to question it but midwits get a bee in their bonnet because they can just barely grasp the outline of what's going on but they're still too stupid to understand it well enough to where they don't make fundamental mistakes when forming a model of what's going on. The biggest tell is how wound up they get when they have to think about how thrusters work in a vacuum.

>>214763423
That's NOT "what took men to the Moon".
That is merely the Lunar-Lander, which was inside the Rocket on the way up and was literally left behind when they journeyed back. The Saturn-V rocket is what actually carried everything to the Moon & back, including the crew AND the Lunar-Lander.
Literally all the Lunar-Lander ever had to do was get men safely from the Rocket to the surface of the Moon and then launch them back to it again.

It's almost like Luna is pretty big, and samples from far apart could have different compositions.
>>
>>214765039
sure, but Apollo landed at 6 different sites spread across the near side - highlands, maria, volcanic plains. All their samples broadly matched each other in elemental composition, then Chang’e 3 checks one tiny patch of ground in Mare Imbrium. Chang finds chromium, yttrium, zirconium, titanium levels 3–5x higher than anything Apollo ever reported. This isn’t a “different shade of basalt,” it’s a totally different geochemical fingerprint, Apollo somehow missed that much diversity across hundreds of kilos from multiple sites

During the Apollo 11 Mission something went terribly wrong with their recording set-up and the footage was either ruined, accidentally erased or otherwise rendered unusable. Unwilling to deal with the ridicule & skepticism that would result from admitting that sheer human incompetence present within the United States Government had ruined the global-public's ability to observe such a historic event play out, the footage was hastily but meticulously reconstructed in a US Air Force hangar in Arizona and then presented to the public as the actual, original footage.

The training they went through before going on the mission. These weren't just random people anon. That vid you posted is within 3 weeks, I see the comments pointed out that they don't seem too enthused to be there, so perhaps they did suffer from negative effects of the journey.

There were multiple satelittes that relayed that antenna signal, usually an antenna that pointed towards the command module exactly.

I know moon dust was a serious problem and it did some damage to the equipment, not enough to cause problems to the mission. I like the questions you ask though, I'll give you that.

these results have been peer-reviewed and cross-checked outside of China, including in Nature Comms + PNAS, the APXS instrument itself was validated against Earth samples before flight. Dismissing the data out of hand because it’s inconvenient = not skepticism, that’s blind faith. I’m not saying “case closed Apollo was faked,” I’m pointing out discrepancies that are argued deserve scrutiny. If questioning details is copium, then hand-waving away contradictory evidence is the exact same thing
>>214766011
yeah, exactly - shows how dangerous and error-prone the program was even before launch. Apollo 1 wasn’t even a lunar mission attempt, it was a plugs-out test on the pad and they still lost the whole crew. If anything, that proves how thin the margins were and how many ways things could go wrong, which makes it even more insane that Apollo 11 was the first time anyone actually tried the whole “land, survive, relaunch, dock, re-enter” profile and somehow it all just worked flawlessly start to finish. That's comms, cameras, fuel margins, rendezvous, re-entry. Apollo 13 shows what happens when one subsystem hiccups: total mission crisis, but Apollo 11? picture-perfect historic success under global pressure

Anon, Apollo 10 did all what Apollo 11 did except landing, in fact, the Apollo 10 Lunar module was under fueled because they feared the crew would ignore orders and go for landing.

The mission that actually took balls of steel was Apollo 8, where they went on a Lunar flyby despite previous missions being merely tests on Earth orbit.
Apollo 8's success was what made NASA get bold, until Apollo 13 humbled them.

My Grandad never lied in his life so answer me this:

ok, physical conditions of crew from returning missions 7-9 all with nausea, vomiting, severe head colds, several days of recovery. 10 and 11 the longer missions and all within the same year, these were much better physical condition at the end. Another coincidence to add to the list I guess that the longer, more arduous, mentally demanding missions, the better condition you return in. 11 also the only mission to have additional 20 hours landing on surface with mission and life critical communications that were not only untested but also single points of failure. Plenty of reasons to suspect something, not to mention the lack of third party auditing of telemetry data (outside stations could only confirm carrier signals, not decode the telemetry itself)

But you can't anymore because uhhhh reasons, they just made planes slower when they got more advanced lol

The best part is there's 2.5 million "eyewitnesses" who claim to have made that impossible flight when it was "in service"
It's a lot to ALL be shills and liars, so I presume they were sedated, or perhaps the plane traveled through a wormhole in the Bermuda Triangle that spit it out near Heathrow
The best part? The Soviets tried to replicate this (after all, it's a long way from Moscow to Vladivostok) but as soon as they built the same plane it exploded on the runway because it's physically impossible

The thing is the people that would have benefitted the most from the Lunar landing being a hoax, the Soviets, confirmed the landing did happen.
You need to go through a lot more hoops to explain how it was fake than it being real.
Doesnt help that people who claim it was fake are ignorant of even the most basic things, such as the fact that Apollo 11 was not the first attempt, that there were another five landings, or how it was filmed.

I know pretty much nothing about the Kubrick shit, but I know that there is an argument some people make that the Moon landings were not only fake but that the Soviet Union was in on it and that the entire Cold War itself was just a ruse and a distraction. Just for the record, I believe in fakery from NASA and other space agencies but I still kind of believe the Moon landings happened. It's probably just wishful thinking and cope on my part that I want the coolest achievement of all time of the white man (and one that makes non-whites seethe to this day) to be true. Right now I'm kind of leaning into the theory that we were already on the Moon before 1969 and that all of the subsequent Moon landings by NASA exist only to hide a secret space program far more advanced than any of NASA's shit that NASA shows to the public. I think there's all sorts of artificial things on the Moon (towers, domes, buildings, etc.) and probably none of those artificial things are ours and whoever those artificial things belong to isn't friendly. Don't let the jews misdirect you. Think bigger and think outside the box.

Kubrick fully admits to making the moon landing through the film “The Shining”.
There’s a good documentary on how Stanley pulled it off. There’s Shining is actually about Kubrick himself he even changes the main character to look like him and age into him as well by the end of the film. It’s way too obvious if you pay attention and they killed him because eyes wide shut was subtle enough for the agencies. They killed him and fucked the movie up


You fags need to understand that this is about if the Americans made it to the moon or not, the footage is fake 100%. The USA probably did go to the moon, that’s cool, but everything they recorded is 100000% not real.
Period

Probably because they're not taking off from the moon? You realize they had to literally launch a manned spacecraft from the moon and then safely land it on earth for this to work, right? Using 60s technology. Yeah that's a bit of a stretch to believe actually, sounds pretty mental.
>>
>>214763423
Because we haven't been there again --- oh you mean we went there and landed men there like 16 times?
Because we don't have the technology anymore? We are in a space race to land on the moon with China right now and also have plans to make a moon base

Also its a lie that only the USA has space technology when Russia landed a spacecraft on Venus in 1978.

People just have a hard on for hatred of our government.

More to the anons point, there were plenty of astronauts who did try to live off their apollo fame. So many astronauts tried to sell postage stamps they'd taken to the moon as a gag that NASA had to specifically outlaw it.

Landing a spacecraft is easy because you're taking off from a big comfy launchpad on Earth with 100s of people servicing your rocket making sure it's just right. Going back from the moon is the part that's hard to believe, where you have no launchpad and no personnel to fix whatever broke when you landed.

If they really landed on the moon 56 years ago, they should easily be able to pop up there at will, over and over, by now. That's the same time frame from when humans first figured out how to fly to when they landed on the moon (allegedly). Moon travel now, if this progress is to be believed, should be about as much trouble as catching a bus to the shops. They are absolutely full of shit. Anyone thinking they really landed on the moon at this point is a fucking mouth breather.

Part of the reason for it's lack of financial feasibility was that supersonic aircraft aren't allowed to fly over most of the US. It could only fly to New York.

The Van Allen Belt is deadly to linger in, not travel through
Protected by 7mm of aluminum, you'd receive 20 rads per hour in the belt
The belt is 12,000 kilometers thick
A Saturn V hurtles toward the moon at close to 40,000 kilometers per hour

For comparison
>you get 1 rad from a CT scan
>10 rads a year is considered a "safe" industrial job
>at 200 rads you start shidding and vomiting and will probably get cancer within a decade
>at 500 rads you start bleeding out of orifices and have a 50% chance of death but like any illness or injury your odds are better if you're gigachad
>at 1,000 rads you have a 99%+ chance of death
>the Japanese guy with the unfortunate name who spent 83 days in the hospital, slowly melting and begging for death while doctors applied every life support known to man, was exposed to 1,700 rads

I hope this illustrates why flying through it would be fine but building a space station within it would be a really, really bad idea

How many rads do you soak up on a transoceanic commercial flight?

Nobody does commercially but the military does it all the time. The Concorde went broke, the tech it used worked fine though and still does.

Note that this is not an insignificant number and being a pilot or flight attendant who does this constantly is a health hazard in and of itself

There was a 2002 mockumentary called Dark Side of the Moon in which the filmmakers managed to get some very high profile political figures to play along including Kissinger and Rumsfeld.
This film included that Kubrick theory as well. There's very obvious giveaways throughout but I can tell you that many people were fooled by this and treated it as an actual documentary.

Money is the answer.
If there's potential to make money out of it, people will be there.
What money is there to make out of a ball covered in dust?
Getting to the Moon isnt hard, its just expensive and you get nothing in return, and due to the Soviets not keeping up with the US, there wasnt a political motive anymore either.

You ever worked on a project over many years, facing different problems each week, but when it's over and you look back you can't remember any of it?

I expect all those challenges you mentioned were encountered at some point and solved some point after, and if you can find the specific handful of people to ask about it you might get an answer, but ultimately a project this large had 1000s of things going on at any one point, not all documented, and most of it not even mentioned since
