Since there is already overwhelming evidence to demonstrate to factual moon landings, I doubt adding any more will persuade the hold outs.

- api 11y agoFor some it's a "protest belief." Few really believe Apollo was a hoax, but many more say so as a way of saying f u to the near cancellation of the space program and the general direction away from visionary things the country took since then.
- pgwhalen 11y agoDo you have any evidence to support this theory? Certainly seems like the deniers believe it for real.
- api 11y agoI was personally told this once, and I also extrapolate it a bit from insight into the differences that often exist between actual and stated beliefs and how the latter serve more for social signaling. I generally find literalist interpretations of belief shallow.
- knowaveragejoe 11y agoI don't know what it is, but I've seen more and more moon hoax and flat earth stuff on the Internet today than I recall in the past. Perhaps it's observation bias, but it seems like it's more prevalent today than ever before.

- mikeash 11y agoApparently some famous rapper went public with his Flat Earth beliefs recently: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/26/entertainment/rapper-bob-earth-flat-theory/index.html http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/26/entertainment/rapper-bob-e... That seems to be what all the fuss is about.
