India’s Lunar orbiter captured photos of the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites. A definite setback for the “moon landings were fake” crowd.

I guess my question is why were the Indians deliberately overflying those coordinates? If they shot pictures of these landers then they obviously knew and were deliberate about where they were orbiting.

How were the photos of the spacecraft (Chandrayaan-3) making a landing taken and by what source? I think these are legitimate questions. I also believe the deniers have made some valid points and have brought up valid questions that have not been sufficiently answered.

    >Why are the indians deliberately overflying those coordinates?
    The orbiter is meant to map the Moon, it does flyovers of basically all locations on the moon and takes photos of them. These photos aren’t as far as I can tell particularly new.
    >How were the photos of the spacecraft (Chandrayaan-3) making a landing taken and by what source?
    If its the photos I am thinking of, they released a rover from the lander which was able to take photos looking back at the lander. If they claim to have photos of the landing that aren’t obviously from orbit…I have questions.
    Often people put out renders at the same time and if you’re watching the stream and don’t know what you’re looking at you can think its meant to be footage, its not, its just badly labeled sometimes.

    We’ve had photos, good photos, of these landing sites from orbiters for a pretty long time. I forget when the first ones from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter came out. It doesn’t take any special effort to take the photos if you’re trying to map or do a broad survey of the Moon.

    NASA has the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that has taken images of the landing sites as well.
    What I cant believe is the energy and passion the landing deniers will expend to make sure those moon landings were faked.
    They will cite things like the Van Allen belts or the press conference where the Apollo 11 crew wasn’t smiling enough.

The gullibility is running deep these days.

(if the moon landing was fake then these pix would have to be fake too, right?)

    Divemedic · October 19, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    And why would the Indians fake such a tale?

      1. Governments never lie, and
      2. a picture on the internet is proof.

      Seriously, though, governments do favors for each other. There are many probes, etc. on the lunar surface, I don’t think too many people disagree with that. Did we send people there 50 or so years ago, and moreover, get them back off the lunar surface and safely home again with the technology we had then?

      Did you ever notice that we tend to go to the moon any time we are nervous about Russia? Herman Kahn’s book “On Thermonuclear War” gives some insight on why such a thing would be faked back then. Perhaps our going to the moon did stop a thermonuclear war and so, movie or real deal, kept the planet alive for a few more decades. Astronauts back then were patriots, and would feel it was their patriotic duty to go along with either a hoax or the real deal, although some became hermits afterwards with the exception of Aldrin, who was a moonbat anyway. Most test pilots would be insufferably proud after such events, but those guys, except for Aldrin, were the opposite at such events like Society of Experimental Test Pilot meetings.

      For the engineers in the group, sometime go back and do the calculations of what it would take. The getting back part, from an engineering perspective and at that time, would have been pretty close to impossible. A movie, however, would not.

        Occam’s Razor. Still, there is no way to convince someone away from a position using logic, when logic wasn’t what got them there in the first place.

Treefarmer · October 19, 2026 at 6:59 pm

Haven’t there been photos of these sites available for decades? I know I’ve seen some before.

Kevin · October 19, 2026 at 7:33 pm

The number of people in on the hoax would guarantee that someone would have blown the whistle by now. The technology needed to produce the videos and photos didn’t exist in 1969.

Don in Oregon · October 19, 2026 at 8:50 pm

Oh, so you’re one of those people who believe the Moon is real?

    TCK · October 20, 2026 at 6:12 pm

    Of course the Moon is real. Where would we get our cheese from if it wasn’t?

Big Ruckus D · October 19, 2026 at 8:58 pm

Well, at least we’ll know with certainty that India landed on the moon, one we see the mountains of garbage dumped everywhere, and the sea of tranquility overflowing with human feces.

Old Maine Farmer · October 20, 2026 at 4:15 am

Why would India possibly provide fake photos? Answer: in exchange for lots and lots of H-1B visas and access to our universities.

Joe Blow · October 20, 2026 at 5:55 am

I feel compelled to respond…
I don’t want to weigh in on either-side of the debate, that’s not my point here.
In my previous life I worked in the graphic arts industry for 20 years. Prepress dude at a few print-shops. Photoshop was only ONE of the photo-editing software applications I used on a daily basis, but also the most powerful in the hands of a competent user.
A couple photo’s is not evidence you should hang your case on in this day and age. Just saying. I left the industry… 11 years ago? I can only imagine what’s available in today’s edition.

    Divemedic · October 20, 2026 at 6:02 am

    and again, why would so much effort be put in by every single country that’s photographed the area?

Angie · October 20, 2026 at 6:37 am

You can’t convince the moon landing deniers with facts and logic . Either they’ll claim the photos are fake, or , that the landers landed, but they were unmanned because humans couldn’t have survived a trip to the moon because of bullshit pseudoscience .

SiG · October 20, 2026 at 7:52 am

It blows my mind that there’s such a determined group saying we never landed on the moon. No matter what evidence is shown, like those photos of the LEMs from those two missions (and the others), there’s nothing but complete denial. What’s the benefit to saying that? What does it give anyone to say that? Show you don’t trust anything that comes out of the gubmint? So what? Maybe it’s just because they get attention – there’s always someone to correct them so others notice them.

Gerry · October 20, 2026 at 8:19 am

All it proves is that the moon is flat too! (joking)

What amazes me most about the idea of the moon landing being faked is the number of people who would have to be involved and how not a single one of them seems to have any need of money, yet are clearly living normal lives – otherwise we’d notice that there are thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of impossibly rich people who never want for a single thing all because they work with the space program of a given country. And every country would have to be in on it, every single freaking country in the whole world, even places actively at war with each other, even places seeking to out-by-the-roots destroy each other, would need to be willing to agree that the moon landing is too taboo for even the desire for total annihilation to allow to be touched on.

Because the minute one country was able to disprove the moon landing, heck, if they were able to bribe a person involved in in to come out and reveal the deception, it would all be over.

So the people in on the deception must, for some reason not want or want for money in any way to the degree that no country in the world has sufficient wealth or resources to get them to even consider talking.

What human could want for nothing to this degree? They have no desire for fame, no desire for wealth, no desire to spite coworkers or employers, no desire for anything other than to do their job and keep their silence, for years, for decades, and take it to the grave with them. No changes of heart later in life, no deathbed confessions, no last minute boasts about what they pulled off, nothing. And it’s not just a handful of people, but countless, and across the whole world.

How would that even possible?

Cyborgs, artificial, organic constructs, implanted in human women that seem to grow and live, programed to hide, blending flawlessly in so that they have histories, stories, seem to be people, and then they get a job in the space program of the country in which they have been placed. They are programmed on a genetic level, hidden in the so-called junk DNA, in coding that we do not yet have the ability to decipher, to continue the deception. These cyborgs are unaware of their programming, just that they must fulfill it and keep the deception.

Because aliens have a vested interest in making sure that we never reach another planet and become aware of the paradise they have built. They are monitoring us from the moon in vast, subterranean facilities, each a paradise beyond the comprehension of humanity. Having cracked the secrets of life and matter itself, they live in an immortal, post scarcity society and they see us as too unstable, too profoundly hungry to ever know of them.

The worst part, the absolute worst part of it? The people complaining that the moon landing has been faked are also a part of it – the belief is programmed into their very DNA, which is why they cannot be convinced otherwise, not by logic, not by proof, not by anything.

Thank you all to those who have read and hopefully laughed at my shitposting.
