I love looking at these questions from both sides and seeing how the truth feels and on this one, the evidence contradicts itself and both sides have holes in the theory - so is the reality a 3rd option!

Questions like this trigger you, you BELIEVE that what you know is true, for that reason, it's good to look and see if what you 'know' is true to you or something you were told and you never looked to see if it was true for you!

I had Chatgpt do the heavy lifting and come up with a list showing both sides, I've read 100's of ideas on both sides and here are 50 flat Earth arguments followed immediately by a matching round Earth argument:

Which do you believe or do you see another or more options?

comment below.

To follow on its "Did We Land on the Moon?" - many say we did not and that film evidence is very poorly done in a studio!

Thoughts?

Chat said the following:

A list of some of the common issues raised by moon landing hoax proponents, along with brief explanations refuting these claims:

1. Lack of stars in photos: Some argue that the absence of stars in moon landing photos suggests a studio setting. However, the lunar surface is extremely bright, and the cameras used were not set up to capture faint stars.

2. Flapping flag: Critics point to the American flag appearing to wave or flutter in videos, claiming it's evidence of wind on the moon. In reality, the flag had a horizontal rod to hold its shape, and the motion was a result of astronauts adjusting it.

3. Shadows: Moon landing deniers often question the direction of shadows in photos, claiming they indicate multiple light sources. The sun, however, is the primary light source, and uneven terrain can create irregular shadows.

4. No blast crater: Some argue that the lunar module should have created a more significant blast crater when landing. The moon's surface is covered in a layer of fine dust, which can't create a typical Earth-like crater.

5. Radiation exposure: Critics claim that astronauts would have been exposed to lethal levels of radiation in the Van Allen belts. Apollo spacecraft passed through the belts quickly, minimizing radiation exposure.

6. Lack of impact crater under lunar module: Moon landing deniers suggest that the lunar module should have created a large impact crater under it. However, the module's descent engine expelled its exhaust horizontally, preventing a deep crater.

7. Stars not visible in photos: Some argue that stars should be visible in the black lunar sky. However, the exposure settings on the cameras were adjusted to capture the brightly lit lunar surface, making faint stars invisible.

8. Crosshairs on photos: Moon landing skeptics claim that objects in some photos appear to be superimposed because the crosshairs on the camera's viewfinder are sometimes partially obstructed. This can be explained by overexposure or light scattering.

9. Studio lighting: Critics suggest that the lighting on the moon is too even and uniform, as if it were in a studio. On the moon, there's no atmosphere to scatter light, resulting in harsh shadows and strong contrasts.

10. No blast noise: Some argue that the absence of sound in lunar module descent videos is suspicious. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for sound to travel, so it wouldn't be audible.

It's important to emphasize that the overwhelming evidence from multiple sources, including NASA's extensive documentation, photographs, and the testimony of thousands of scientists and engineers, supports the authenticity of the moon landings. These conspiracy theories have been debunked by experts in various fields. The moon landings remain one of humanity's greatest achievements, backed by solid scientific evidence.
