Title: Artemis II Fake?
Post by: walkerblocker on April 11, 2026, 02:18:28 PM
I see tons of people saying Artemis mission was fake. Now I personally think the moon landing is fake, but why do people think taking a spin around the moon is phony?

Why would anyone say it was fake though?`

25 years ago I watched fox's conspiracy theory,  did we land on the moon.
After watching that in convinced we never went and I'd never even thought to question it before...

Today in 2026 though, do you still think it is impossible for us to visit Moon?

NASA, Hollywood, and certainly not the United States, do not control the world of propaganda.

The greatest minds and engineers are present in every country in the world.
This has never been questioned by any space agency, whether Russian, European, Chinese, or Japanese... no academic scientific rebuttal has been issued, regardless of the continent.

All scientific experiments, expeditions, or claims are systematically reviewed by academics from around the world, regardless of continent.

Those who doubt are those who have no scientific education and are at the mercy of any YouTuber who knows how to edit a video and tell a story.

They left mirrors behind you can ping from earth. You can see the moon buggies in high resolution images even today. USSR followed everything closely and had they seen any evidence of it being fake they would've for sure brutally mocked everything, instead they congratulated USA. Amateur radio enthusiasts followed the mission and confirmed a 1.3 second delay it too for the signal to travel.

It all comes down to angular resolution. Yes you can take a picture of something extremely far because the object is extremely large. I don't know why I'm even explaining this as logic doesn't really work with conspiracy theory folks. I guess those tire marks are just some tiny random asteroids hitting the moon surface that accidentally created those paths

Those rocks are moved by ice sheets, so if you believe that ice sheets moved rocks around in a random pattern like this, sure  ;D

Artemis is a Greek VIRGIN Goddess. Why a virgin if we've gone to the Moon (and landed on it 6 times)? Have you seen the picture of Earth with 1 continent that looks like it takes up 1/2 the globe? April Fool's Day launch. ::)

Today the astroNOTS can supposedly barely walk from a week in low gravity. How in the fuck are we going to send people to Mars that would be a 3 year trip? Their bodies would be like jellyfish when they got back.

Sure! What do you think the odds are that 2 rocks travelled exactly the distance apart as the moon buggy axel was, pushed by a wind/ice on a muddy surface. The rocks then somehow took sharp turns. Then later the water and atmosphere disappeared. Yeah, sounds very likely

It's also possible that they were caused by an alien clone of your mom from another dimension who had saggy tits with diamond tips that dragged on the moon surface and caused those tracks as she was walking on the moon. Not very likely though.

Okay.


So ask AI to prove the moon landing was real? And you trust AI as a non contaminated source?  AI will share the information it has access to, no different than you or I. Someone mentioned a program from the 90s that prevented “information” that the moon landing was faked.


I don’t know what these pictures show but I guess they work as proof something took place.

ChatGPT shared the same information that you have that the moon landings are real. And the good news is AI has never been wrong or dishonest.

I think the biggest issue most have with the moon landing is, we visited six times in a small window when our technology at the time was nowhere near where it is today but apparently we got all the information we needed in 1972.

Your responses bro. You seem to take it personal that I questioned AI or that I said I don’t know what I’m looking with the satellite photos.

The same way you read what I posted and you can assume I’m a flat earther.

It cost a shit ton of money and never had a whole lot of public support.  Kennedy was the big advocate for space exploration and Lyndon Johnson sought to carry on his legacy.  Johnson decided not to seek re-election and then Nixon came into office and opted to focus on the Space Shuttle instead, which meant an end to any additional lunar exploration.

When evaluating the utility of platforms like GetBig, one must consider the opportunity cost. Time spent scrolling through forum threads is time diverted from the actual execution of training, recovery, and nutritional planning. The most successful athletes in the history of the sport, as documented in The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, adhered to rigorous, time-tested protocols rather than seeking constant validation or novelty from online peers.[2] [9] Furthermore, the psychological aspect of these forums can be detrimental; the constant comparison to others—often enhanced by performance-enhancing substances—can lead to unrealistic expectations and training dysmorphia.[10]

However, it would be reductive to label these forums as entirely devoid of value. For the isolated trainee, they can provide a sense of community and a repository for historical knowledge, provided the user possesses the critical thinking skills to filter out misinformation. The key to avoiding a "waste of time" is to treat these forums as a secondary resource, subordinate to the foundational principles found in peer-reviewed journals and authoritative textbooks.[4] [11] [12] The goal of any training program should be the mastery of fundamental movements, which is best achieved through structured, long-term periodization rather than the reactive, fragmented advice often found in online comment sections.

Disagree.  If it was just about being the first to land on the moon, we wouldn’t have planned and executed multiple Apollo missions.

It cost a shit ton of money and never had a whole lot of public support.  Kennedy was the big advocate for space exploration and Lyndon Johnson sought to carry on his legacy.  Johnson decided not to seek re-election and then Nixon came into office and opted to focus on the Space Shuttle instead, which meant an end to any additional lunar exploration.

By landing on the moon, USA won the "who has a biggest space penis" fight and after that it was pointless to go to a lifeless piece of rock. Of course there are people here who believe the moon had atmosphere, water etc.

So these are the two main reasons given there’s no money in the moon and once the US made it to the moon, there was nothing else left to prove.

Now Elon wants to colonize the moon because he realizes he’s not getting to Mars in this lifetime.

Astronauts are by nature not very good at making decisions and being creative, they are selected because they can follow instructions.

There was a scene in the TV series "The Crown" when Prince Phillip met the astronauts from the moon landing when the visited London and the palace.
He insisted on having some time with them alone to talk about what it was like to be the first people on the moon.

When he met them he was totally underwhelmed on how dull and boring they were, he expected some great inspirational explorers.
One of them asked him "how many rooms does the palace have?"
Then they were all running around the corridors like children.

You dont want people in a space craft thinking for themselves, hence why she may be a bit dumb

She said tiny earth ? only the earth wouldn't look tiny
as the Moon when full is quite large in the night sky
and the earth is several times larger than the moon.

Something seems a wee bit off.

No, I thought it was a documentary with the real royal family playing parts

The point was that you dont want "maverick" free thinkers going into space with a million and one buttons to press.
You select people who can follow orders and instructions and be part of a team.

Maybe "dumb" was unfair.. more likely "not very creative" is more apt, hence her inability to formulate a great answer to the question at short notice

The Moon was the size of a pea halfway between itself and Earth. The moon looks 100X bigger at night standing on my porch. ::)
