I realize I have a duty as the OP, but I cannot Like the allusion to a real problem: people who believe it was a put-on. In 1972 I touched the Command Module from Apollo 8. It had these so-cool scorch marks wrapping around the shield end. Watching the space program on TV was a formative experience when I was a kid. Having a dad who knew and cared about space boosted the power of the experience.

My stepfather didn't think it was possible to land on the moon. He thought it was some kind of light or something. lol

I don't know if I'd call that a 'real' problem or not.

I know they went, you know they went and anybody with a fucking brain knows they went.

If somebody wants to be stupid and say it's a hoax from watching a YT video, I can't accept responsibility for it.

You can't force education on a fool.

All true, but i remember how the flat-earth threads, uhm, evolved. I can't keep the idiots off the thread, and I must battle my tendency to tilt at the weed forum windmills.

I use work for a guy whose dad worked in Huntsville ( rocket scientist ) and the guy I for was smart but........
So one day were building a roof system on a multi million dollar house and he is trying to figure some rafter lengths and I said need some help and he said fuck you my dad was a rocket scientist and your dad was a drunk well I said fuck you too. ...... And then I got tired of waiting and went and and installed the rafters and he said how did you figure that and I said it's basic building skills and then I asked what was so difficult and he tried to explain and I noticed right away he was using 3.17 for pi so I said well there's the problem asshole pi is 3.14 . He freaked out and repeated that his dad was a rocket scientist and my dad was a drunk so I said well if you're dad was here he'd tell you that pi is 3.14 now go get us so beer .
