The Moon Hoax was never meant to be serious, to be credible.
They knew beforehand it would be staged.
Anyone who thinks "oh JFK says we will be on the Moon before the decade is over, so let's work our arses off to achieve the thermodynamically impossible, even though """he's dead now"""" you know..." is mistaken.
It was not in the 1960s or even 50s (((they))) knew Space Travel was impossible and always would be.
They KNEW that way before.
Since 1584, a full century BEFORE the concept of gravity was even introduced, we KNOW the Forces of the Cosmos are WAAAAAY to big to handle for any species, no matter how technologically advanced.
In the upcoming mix, I hope to finalize it tonight, a beautiful 75 year mother day I must say, you hear McBenis (a space believer) and me talk about this in more detail. With much more, a lot of CalmCardKen with great advanced music mixes, so keep your Eye AM Eyes open for that.
Simon Stevin, when science was still science, established that the position of the Moon and Sun with respect to the Earth cause our daily tides.
So since then we know that at least the Moon, if it were accessible, has such an enormous (back then ether, mysterious G forces) attraction on us, that vice versa the same must apply.
So the idea a space thingy can just circumvent ALL those attractive ethereal eternal and exponentially complex forces, is absurd from the onset.
It's like asking to polder in the whole world oceans.
You can ask the best Dutch water engineer
They won't succeed.
The complexities are simply too enormous.
In everything.
And in 4D
Everything changes, is dynamic.
Meaning that if we would be able to calculate so many factors, the best Space simulators cannot even comprehend what is going on MORE than we can observe/perceive...., the next microsecond the situation is different. With new uncertainties.
On Earth (((they))) could have staged it better, especially considering the surface.
Because BEFORE "Apollo", with astronots in dune buggies hopping around in LOOSE SEDIMENT, the Moon was imagined MORE geologically (selenologically ; Selene = Gaia's sister (not really in Greek mythos, but I make my own; mystory vs. history) by TinTin and Robert Heinlein
than what those sand clowns did there in their sandpit.
If you get the chance to visit a lunar landscape on Earth, DO IT.
It is outworldly to be there, it is special.
You don't need to wait for Elon Muskusrat's Voyagers though.
Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain (but offshore Africa)
NOTE: NO sand. Hard rocks. Crispy. Painful. A Harsh Mistress...
that is how the Moon should be....
