Artemis- the pure amount of disbelief in the space mission

[cobrakaieaglefang]

Has anyone else noticed the huge numbers of people who believe it is made up, cgi, actors etc. My fb feed is full of it..add in the flat earthers. Im used to my conspiracy theorist pal coming out with it but this blows my mind that its on such a huge scale. I can't get my head round why it would be made up, what purpose would it serve?

I can't wait for 6G so the covid vaccine can kill me even faster.

I haven't seen or heard any of this @cobrakaieaglefang All of my social circle, neighbours, family etc believe it. Also, I have not seen anything online where anyone has said they don't believe it......

Why on earth would anyone think this is made up?

.

Or the CHEM TRAILS!!!!!

I haven’t read anything about people disbelieving that the Artemis mission was real. I did rather hope that during the 40 minutes the communication system was down something exciting would happen. Contact with aliens on the far side of the moon. Or that ‘grabber’ space ship belonging to the baddie from the 007 Moonraker film scooping them up.

I think it's Bots originating in Russia/China/N Korea/Iran etc and is all about destabilizing the West as was Covid deniers and Anti-Vaxers, etc.

Lol...yes...chemtrails, flat earth, the sodding lot..verbal conversations listened to then appearing on my feed. Is that a conspiracy too? 🤔 It is literally one person I know, but he spouts it all day in, day out. Absolutely obsessed with 'the elites' hiding, lying and covering up everything.

@Zovthats what I don't get, the purpose of it being faked, if intended its a elaborate distraction from Epstein/Trump. Im sure they could have come up with something cheaper!

Some people like to believe conspiracy theories, in the same way that many like to think the worst of people and enjoy scandalmongering stories. Facebook is full of them.

I'm indifferent to Artemis.

Ah now I do have a lot of people on Twitter who don’t believe in clouds.

Blue ticks used to actually mean something on Twitter, now it means any old gobshite with more money than they have brain cells can purchase one to spout their shit. One of the reasons I left last year, as it's just unusable now.
As for the OP, I'm with you. YANBU. Was literally saying this earlier today how my feed is awash with conspiracy theorists of some sorts.
I honestly think there's not enough being done about online radicalisation and misinformation spreading. (Not sure where you'd begin to start with that, mind.)
Back years ago you'd just chat to people you knew down the pub. Nowadays online echo chambers where you all chat shit to each other without challenging views are all too sadly the norm.

I dont believe it is fake but think it is odd that the last time we went to the moon was in 1972

But then Melania did her weird stilted speech about Epstein to remind everyone about it!

Love that bit of sabotage from her. She's clearly got a good sense of humour.

It’s the monetisation. I have started to block any account that I think has posted something stupid or controversial just to make money from the engagements. It’s made it a much better experience. As has only engaging in stuff you want to see more of and ignoring the rest.

What makes me laugh is when they say “it’s just a distraction” so anyone who is actually distracted has just been reminded of it again by people telling everyone it’s a distraction. Seems like a really stupid plan to distract people when it does the opposite.

I agree with this. I don't see conspiracy theory posts on tiktok but they are all over the comments on sciencetok. They get roll eyes very swiftly. I wonder if the bots have discussions with each other on conspiracy-tok? 😁

I do love this answer.

To deflect all of the other shit?

Well, Im English, but one of the things I remember from visiting Washington is the piece of moon rock in the Smithsonian museum atrium. Touchable. Totably fabulous.

Why is that odd? It's perfectly feasible if you think about costs etc.

I watched the original moon landing as a child. At the time, there was a space race between the USA and the Russians. There was all this Cold War stuff going on, and beating Russia in space travel was important to the US. Someone pointed out recently (apart from 4,000 plus people from different countries involved in the 60s and 70s moon landings having to all be lying) that if the US hadn't really landed on the moon, Russia would have said something!

Still many people think the original landing was faked and/or filmed by Stanley Kubrick on Earth. It is not suprise given Pizzagate, Q-anon, Lizard People, mechanical birds, and whatnot, that loads of loopy people think both Artemis 2 and the Apollo missions are fake. But now, as opposed to back in the late 60s and early 70s, they have easy means to spread their idiotic 'theories',

Great addition to the cheese board...

🤣

I heard you the first time ! ( joke)

me too I adore space and I get jk motion sickness at all - I’d go in a heartbeat

Artemis 4 I think Artemis three will test drop a lunar module

You forgot the quick round of golf
