(Yes, of course I know that’s not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)

    Faking the moon landing would have been a massive coverup requiring the cooperation of at least one foreign nation. (Australia, because of Parkes)

    During the Nixon administration. Nixon couldn’t even cover up one little burglary.

      Nixon’s downfall was created by the CIA because they did not get along.

      It would have required so much work it’d be easier just to land on the moon.

      This is the one thing that kills me with one of my favorite space movies, interstellar… they have that one scene at the school saying the landings were faked to bankrupt the soviets…like how the fuck did that make it into the movie.

        That was making fun of people who believed things like that. It’s very obvious if you’ve watched the movie.

          I mean it’s not because there are a lot of people asking about it online.

            Asking about that scene in Interstellar? The entire movie is a love letter to NASA and science. What do you mean?

              I understand it is. It’s one of my favorite sci-fi movies, but like myself and others we were confused with the scene, but others have explained it.

        It’s not there as some commentary by Christopher Nolan that the moon landings didn’t happen. It’s there to show that schools are willing to teach a lie as long as it serves the narrative of “past oppulence is what destroyed our world, so get out there and be a farmer!”

          O damn never thought of it that way. I went and looked it up further and you’re spot on, it seems it was put into the movie to make people become farmers and not look to space. Basically try and solve the problems on earth.

        That guy lady is a silly and you’re supposed to think she’s wrong. She’s teaching lies in order to justify a bad worldview.
