      12/ The grand project started in the 1920s, Operation Paperclip gave us a cadre of trained experts with centuries of combined experience, we were already pouring insane money into ICBMs, we spent about 3% of US GDP on the project for a decade, literally thousands of companies >

      16/ The lunar lander "worked" the first time in Apollo-11 because that was not the first time, it was the sixth time. LEMs had been flown on Apollo 5, 6 , 8, 9, and 10.https://twitter.com/Cary_Bleasdale/status/1487171316436418560 …

      Compare the way the lunar lander worked the first time, to, say, the first week of a new Microsoft version launch, or a battleship shakedown cruise.

      17/ Also, there were MULTIPLE problems w the LEMs. Windows broke in testing, things shorted out. During Neal Armstrong's descent in Apollo 11 the LEM's AGC overloaded, crashed, and rebooted dozens of times bc of data from the descent radar.

      18/ It's not an argument that Apollo was real. The argument for Apollo being real is that you can buy a laser, point it at the Apollo-11 landing site, and get bounces off of the cats-eye-reflector they left behind.

      "Thousands of companies working in parallel under the guiding hand of Uncle Sam' is something we've had before and since, with...extremely mixed results. I don't see that a an argument for the lunar landing.

      19/ ...how we managed to do it in "just" 10 years. The answer is that it wasn't 10 years. It was 10,000 + people working in parallel for 10 years.

      20/ > It wasn't actually flown though. Please stop saying dumb and false things. LEMs were flown into orbit (or beyond) on all of those flights, and humans piloted LEMs in space on Apollo 9 and 10 LEM was flow in Earth orbit on 9 and lunar orbit on 10https://twitter.com/Cary_Bleasdale/status/1487173497554194433 …

      It wasn't actually flown though. Like I said, that's the part you would and could easily fake, I see reasonable room to doubt that happened without being an idiot dumdum. Especially given that it's the underpinning of the entire modern technopriesthood.
