    “is there anything I could say that would change your mind?”

    My uncle is a lunar landing denier and I asked him this. He said the only thing that would convince him would me to take him there and see it himself. That’s when I realized I’m not dealing with someone who get themselves into a POV through logic, so you can’t use logic to get them out.

      My stepdad has started using ‘and you believe we landed on the moon’ and yet won’t actually state he doens’t. Instead ‘oh well you strongly care about thing and i’m just-’

      NO YOU AREN’T YOU FECKLESS SHITBAG.

      I remember reading that it would’ve actually cost a lot more for people to fake a moon landing back in those days than to actually go there. When viewed from above, the shadows in the Apollo photos are parallel because the light source is so far away!
