I once tried to get a conspiracy theory going that Flat Earth was a fake conspiracy started by the government to cover up the real conspiracy - that the moon is flat. That's why we only ever see one side of it and why we were able to land on it. It didn't take lol.

I just need people to know that they didn't fake the moon landing, that really happened. They faked the moon. It didn't exist prior to the 1960s when it was created by the US government in order to move the goalposts in the space race.

The insider knowledge that there would soon be a moon to land on gave NASA the head start they needed on the Apollo program to finally beat the Soviets, who were thoroughly blindsided by the sudden appearance of the moon.

This is bullshit. What we see as the moon is actually the earth, after the reptillians ruined it. What we live on is actually a domed space station orbiting the moon-earth.

We didnt go to the moon, we went back to the moon.

why we were able to land on it.

This is why you failed. Everyone knows the moon landing was fake and directed by Kubrick.

Yes, but you know how Kubrick was. He made them film on location.

I messed up, had to say "it was a Hollywood job" instead of it was fake.

I was hoping to sneak that in, get people balling on one conspiracy theory to get in on another one lol
