Every argument that I have listened to or read that tries to establish that the earth is flat usually ends up falling flat with just a little intellectual resistance.

I do think that there is a moderate possibility that the moon landing was faked. There was too much to gain from beating the russians in a space race. The flip side is that it would be next to impossible to fake this for as long as they have, especially with how many people would have been involved. On the other hand, why havent we been back? Seems strange to me that we havent landed another man on the moon, especially with how much better technology is today.

Lastly, men are generally driven to do things because it will somehow benefit them. I see absolutely no benefit in faking that the earth is a globe.
Idk chief, older things have been faked for longer

There wasn't just the 1 moon landing. There were 6 between 1969 and 1972. According to NASA, 12 humans have walked on the moon. As to why we haven't been back recently, it's really expensive to send people to the moon. NASA funding in the late 60s was nearly 5% of the federal budget. After "winning", funding was cut down to roughly 1% of the federal budget by 1973. Today, NASA costs are only .5% of total federal dollars spent.

NASA has straight up said we don’t have the technology to return, and all of the telemetry from previous missions was destroyed

None of that makes sense. The moon landing was fake and the subsequent missions were propaganda to legitimize the first one

NASA is a federal money laundering scheme

This just seems highly suspect that with all of the technological advancements we have had in the past half century, we still havent gone back.

Have we even sent a rover back to the moon?
