Hot take: the moon landing being faked makes more sense than people admit

I was at a family gathering in Austin last summer, and my uncle brought up the whole moon landing thing as a joke. But then he showed me some footage from the Apollo missions, and I started looking into the shadows and the flag movement. Honestly, the more I dug into the technical details, the more I think there's something off about the official story. Like, why did NASA lose the original tapes? And how did they broadcast live TV from the moon in 1969 when we struggled with satellite delays on Earth? I'm not saying it's definitely fake, but I think people dismiss it too quickly without looking at the evidence. Has anyone here actually sat down and watched a full breakdown of the inconsistencies?

Ah yes, nothing says "we definitely went to the moon" like losing the original footage and hoping nobody would notice. Real smooth move, NASA. And the whole "the flag was waving in a vacuum" thing always gets me, like did nobody on the production team take a basic physics class before filming this thing? Also love how the live broadcast worked perfectly with zero delay but my Zoom call this morning sounded like I was underwater. Maybe it's just me but the "we had 1960s technology that could do things we can't even do today" argument feels like a convenient excuse everyone just kind of accepts without thinking.

So are you saying the whole thing was a soundstage production with better lighting than a Hollywood movie set?
