Congratulations to India, this is their moment.
Live. Laugh. Love.
It would be interesting to learn what the "moonlanding never happened" crowd has to say. Must be some next-level brain exercise to keep the story going. 😄
Bollywood is very powerful
That and the flat earthers explaining away any picture of the earth
And sunsets, and parallax effect, and visible curvature, etc etc.
Guvremen faket it.
Here, done
Aren’t they generally ok with crew-less landings and mostly deny actual humans landing on the moon?
Not the more crazy ones. They believe there's literally a barrier in the sky that prevents objects from going past a certain altitude. It stems from old abrahamic religious texts of an impenetrable "firmament" surrounding the Earth.
Yea, they claim if we're only getting rovers out there now, there no way humans actually made it there.
I believe humans walked on the moon but they lied about how they got there.
Giant ladder theory crew
Link to the video I stead of some filler article.
I'm not doubting it's real. (It's pretty obvious with the reflections on the solar panels.) But, the lighting looks weird on the Moon, like it has this painting quality to it.
It's a combination of two major factors: The camera is pretty low-resolution, both in its ability to take video, and pixel density, and because there's no atmosphere to give us the "blur" and color filtration we're so used to seeing around objects.
We should colonize it so we can give it a repaint!
send it to the russians 😅
Technically, they made it first if you count lithobraking as a valid landing technique.
Technically, lithobraking is the final stage of any descent, but high speed lithobraking is usually not conducive for future mission objectives.
