I agree that there are no huge conspiracies, but this argument is bad / uses bad data. Let's pretend the Moon landing was a hoax. It's not 411,000 people who have to keep the secret. We presume most of Apollo was real. Saturn V really built. LEM actually designed. etc. >> https://twitter.com/drg1985/status/1137708774976905221 …

3/ Likewise, if there's really a suppressed cure for cancer, we can not / should not count 122,000 people at Johnson & Johnson nor 57,000 at AstraZeneca. Baby powder is real. Lidocaine is real. HR is staffed and janitors are staffed and cafeterias are staffed.

4/ I am annoyed when people on the other side make bad arguments. I am INCENSED when people on my side make bad arguments. Either you're unaware of how bad the argument is, or you're overdoing it on purpose for rhetorical effect. Both are wrong/ stupid.

5/ If you held a gun to my head and made me come up with the best possible argument for "Apollo was a hoax", it would be "it 90% worked, but we were under time pressure vs Soviets so fudged the last 10% as deadline approached". https://twitter.com/gdsimms/status/1137730451164938241 …

6/ So in this "best possible argument", maybe everything worked except 3rd stage relight for translunar injection, and LEM and command module circled Earth for an extra week then came back. ~2,000 people in on it.

There's a huge gap between designing and building hardware you think will allow humans to survive a trip to the moon and actually using that hardware to get to the moon. It also cuts down on the details to be fudged if something is built, delivered, and never used

Of course, once you start accepting all those bits and pieces being legit, the ability to actually land on the moon goes up.

Most conspiracy theories, when pressed, require the canonical story be true for their conspiracy to work.
