Cuckoo Award

Today’s award goes out to all who believe that the moon landing was fake… and there are  a lot of them!
 
They point to the flag waving when the Lunar Lander took off… Um folks rocket engines have exhaust even in a vacuum (As a matter of fact rocket motors are more effective in a vacuum!)
 
Then there is this…
Astronauts Didn't Wear Helmets on the Moon?
The image has been used by skeptics to claim the moon landings were fake.

Claim:
A photograph showing a group of astronauts without their helmets on indicates that the moon landings were staged.

Rating:
False

For years, claims have spread across social media that a photo supposedly showing three astronauts not wearing helmets on the moon meant the moon landings were staged.

A TikTok post from May 2024 showed the photo in question. The caption read, "A rare photo of the 3 astronauts on the moon breathing fresh air without their helmets."

[…]

The caption for the image on Getty Images read:

Apollo 16 astronauts (L-R) Charles M Duke, John W Young, and Thomas K Mattingly II take a break during a training exercise in preparation for the Lunar Landing mission, US, 6th February 1972. Duke is the Lunar Module pilot, Mattingly the Command Module pilot, and Young the Commander on the Flight scheduled to lift off April 16th.
These people who believe that the landing on the moon was faked are off the deep end. They come up with these off-the-wall clues… See the flag is waving! See they are not wearing their helmets! You don’t see the stars!

Have you ever watch a science fiction movie from the time? Even the Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey that spent millions of special effects you can tell it is a fake and that was state-of-the-art back in 1968.

The one I always liked were space ships with the exhaust rising, you wound have thought that someone would have thought to hold the space ship up instead of flat so the flame would be burning in the right direction,

So this Cuckoo Award goes out to all those believers!
