The actual people who could attest to the facts of the moon walks are almost all gone; the bulwark of the living truth will go with them and the mad conspiracy theories may flourish in their absence. The archive, the visual record, and the testimonies have never been more important.
Yeah and then there’s all those pesky rocks all around the world, oh yeah and the pounds and pounds of moon Soil…pesky little reminders
And retroreflector at known location. You can literally shine on it, just bring your own laser.
Those objects were recently retested and were found to be rather delicious chunks of Gruyere.

I’m pretty sure he’s being sarcastic. MOSTLY, but this is Bluesky, not Twitter, so the odds of him being a whore for comment bait or HONESTLY that dumb are very low. But if he IS being serious, the appropriate insult would be spelled with an “a”, not an “i”.
People! Historical document “A Grand Day Out” proves otherwise! Moon = Cheese. Far better than similar “Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2….
That, but more a reference the old chestnut that the moon is made of cheese. But also you know what they say about having to explain the joke, so ...
I thought it was a fun joke.
Some jokes don't age well.
Like gruyere, they become more complex with age?
Do they grow imaginary roots? 🤔
Brilliant!
I dunno, i chuckled at both jokes. You're not winning the Internet, but it was a good joke.
It's rubbish anyway. Gruyere isn't green. (This is sarcasm, please don't call me names)
Just ask @scalzi.com!
Except there is still a lunar lander and a car and a reflector and footprints left behind...and rock samples and actual video and many new missions prove the evidence. But..." earth is flat " might win the repubes vote cuz Cristian valuze is in office
Everyone on my street stayed up all night in front of their TVs in the living room…the entire family in every house…mostly in black & white
It was the same in Australia where I grew up. We were glued to our “television sets” (I still don’t know why they were “sets”) watching fascinated the moon walk in black and white. We were so hopeful- if this could happen, nothing was beyond humanity. So different to our own day.
I grew up in the 60’s…astronauts were like gods…modern day cowboys…people were fascinated
I miss when former astronauts would punch people for lying about the moon landings.
There's some good books about the people who walked on the moon and how it affected them, one is called Moondust and another is A Man on the Moon.
