Reminds me of Coveny with the caution signs. You might not be familar with this but a couple of months ago there was a user named Coveny who we got into a heated debate with in the flat Earth thread. Apparently, I had discovered one day that the admin had awarded him the privilege of the "Spam" reaction. So everytime he couldn't refute our argument, he just flagged it as "spam". In the end, he ended up abusing it to censor our posts, and had the privilege taken away very quickly.

BTW this is about moon landing, not the Confederate flag debate(irrelevant)
Don't say that what I wrote above is irrelevant. It is relevant because you are saying that Erfisflat's argument is "irrelevant" because you can't disprove them.
Disprove Erfisflat's points with credible sources and you're good.
Good luck <span></span>

2. Probably Micheal Collins because he had to remain in lunar orbit.
3. "Oh Really? Yes one picture does seem to show a letter C. But this particular picture is a third generation copy after the original negative has been through a photographic enlarger - prone to dust and hair infection if not careful. Such items will show up as a silhouette.
The Original Image
Third Generation Copy
The left picture is direct from the original. The right is a third generation copy. Note the quality of the image of the original. The contrast always increases on copies produced via film. So the 'C' is just a fine hair laid on the copied image from a dusty darkroom; nothing more." http://moonlandinghoax.org/34.html
4. "They were apparently taken from different locations, as in one the lunar module is there and tracks are visible.
In the other, there is a more rocky surface seen in the foreground." The Moon is smaller than Earth. So horizons appear closer to the human eye than they really are, and may, therefore, look the same from different viewpoints. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/769062/Moon-landings-hoax-Apollo-15-pictures-SAME-background
5. That is not a valid argument at all. But, the reflection is from a circular surface. To restore the image, shouldn’t the reflected standing figure in the visor be distorted to match the curve of the helmet?
6. A pretty clear explanation is given by astronomer Phil Plait in his 2001 Bad Astronomy article:
“The van Allen belts are regions above the Earth’s surface where the Earth’s magnetic field has trapped particles of the solar wind. An unprotected man would indeed get a lethal dose of radiation, if he stayed there long enough. Actually, the spaceship traveled through the belts pretty quickly, getting past them in an hour or so. There simply wasn’t enough time to get a lethal dose, and, as a matter of fact, the metal hull of the spaceship did indeed block most of the radiation.”https://lightsinthedark.com/2014/05/22/no-the-moon-landings-werent-faked-and-heres-how-you-can-tell/

I'll be honest I can barely understand what Bacon is saying.
So, if someone thinks 50 year old footage is fake, they don't believe in science?

When the spaceship landed there was little to no impact on the moon
So he is floating in mid-air. I'm pretty sure everyone could agree that the object looks like a stage light.

Okay, I could accept that.

The moon might be smaller, but why our eye? Our eye has nothing to do with it.
"5. That is not a valid argument at all. But, the reflection is from a circular surface. To restore the image, shouldn’t the reflected standing figure in the visor be distorted to match the curve of the helmet?"
That's not a valid argument? Why is there someone on the moon that is not wearing a suit?

So, the reason that you believe they didn't fake the moon landings is because the faked some more stuff. Riiiight. Prove any of it happened. Evidence.
"Also, there was a United States flag planted on the moon to show our victory against the Soviet Union and how we were the first ones to visit the moon."
Prove it. I've never seen that flag.
"You can't just say something and not back it up."
Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.
"I will NEVER be persuaded until someone goes to the end of the world and takes a picture of the end of the world."
How's about I create you a picture of the end in photoshop of the end of the earth like they did with the ball earth. You're gullible enough to believe that.
Time zones are due to a small and close sun. It sheds it's like locally.
