The moon landing footage analysis that flipped me, for real
I used to think the whole thing was obviously faked, the shadows and the flag and all that. Then I watched a frame by frame breakdown from a guy who actually does photogrammetry, not some YouTube rant, and he showed how the dust kicked up by the rover lands in a perfect parabolic arc matching the low gravity. The math and the physics check out when you plot it, and that single detail of the dust trajectory, which you can see in the original NASA tapes from 1969, made me realize I never actually questioned the science, I just liked the suspicion. Has anyone else had their view flipped by a specific piece of technical evidence, or is it just me?
Man, I've been there. Best move is to grab the actual technical papers or raw data instead of trusting any single video, even the good ones. Once you plot the numbers yourself, it stops being about opinions. That dust arc got me too, but running the calculations in a spreadsheet is what really locked it in for me.
