      HI nkjones. Yes I do think it was real. When the astronaughts landed on the moon they left objects called retroreflectors on the surface that can be used to reflect lasers (as seen in The Big Bang Theory!) and accurately determine how far away it is. There is no way these could be on the moon without someone landing and putting them there.

      Hi again nkjones, yes, absolutely real. The main thing that convinces me is that there would have been sooo many people involved in filming and staging it if it was made up, that someone would have let the secret slip by now. There are people out there who love denying things (like climate change, or evolution, or medicine – they just enjoy being contrary). And I think that someone who came out with proof that it was all done on Earth would be paid a lot of money by deniers to talk about it publicly. The fact that this hasn’t happened in over 40 years is very convincing!
      What do you think?
