    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.

    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. 😄

      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 gong 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’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.
