50 Years Ago, Apollo 11 Launched to the Moon: A Look Back at the Epic Day

[MRJAZZ]

I can understand it's not a movie for everyone. Try watching some modern Russian space movies, I believe your appreciation of the Hollywood space movies will grow. On the subject of movies, there's a recent 4K release of Moon (2009), a sci-fi movie.

As for the conspiracy theories, I've read a couple of web pages and Wikipedia, and choose to believe the landing did occur.

Conspiracy theories are fun to talk about, etc., I also have no doubt the moon landings did indeed occur. There was something like three or four HUNDRED THOUSAND people associated, in some way, with NASA ( suppliers, employees, etc,) during the 10 year period of the Apollo project. Even if heavily compartmentalized, there would probably have to been at least several hundred, if not more, individuals involved to have pulled off the greatest hoax/deception in Human history. Do you know how difficult it is for just two people to maintain a secret....any secret, let alone one of this magnitude..... Somebody would have spilled the beans by now. Even the Russians, who would have every reason to cast doubt , have not

Anyway looking forward to further exploration of our immediate cosmos.....Return to the moon... Mars ?....

Some commenter on YouTube joked about conspiracy theories:
yes, the moon landing didn't occur -- the moon really didn't land...

One of my wife's grandfathers was a farmer and a devout 'flat Earther' who never left his home county until late in life, when he visited the beach with some relatives. Upon seeing the ocean for the first time, he reputedly said, "Hmm, not as big as I thought it'd be." (Which makes perfect sense if you thought the Earth was flat!)
