Oh, so THAT's the real reason for why we have so much fake moonlanding nonsense still to this day. If there's some thing I've learned in the past 6 or so years

Oh, so THAT's the real reason for why we have so much fake moonlanding nonsense still to this day.
If there's some thing I've learned in the past 6 or so years is that when morons attach their personality to a certain claim and then they're proven wrong, they just double down. So I can totally imagine that a very large fraction of those 66% who opposed it couldn't just be proven wrong and instead attack it. It can't be that I was wrong and landing on the moon was actually awesome, instead it must be fake! Didn't happen!
- pessimizer 3y ago> landing on the moon was actually awesome, Consider that people who opposed going to the moon still may not think that it was "awesome." It's patriotic bullshit that political scoundrels turn to, but is at least not as horrific as war. Although if the money spent on the moon landing had been spent on starving children, many of them wouldn't have starved, so maybe it's a sort of an inverse war to burn cash like that? Nationalists are childish. Trump declares a Space Force, and turns half the people who thought he was the antichrist into his defenders.
