Like the idea that they asked Kubrik to shoot, but he was so perfectionist that he went to shoot on location

[mroversteer]

This is unrealistic. In a real life setting, the conspiracy theorist would just get salty, say “you’re lying”, and then walk away and keep living the lies that they believe in.

[KEVMAN]

The real cover-up is the fact the moon is actually made out of barbecue spare ribs.

[Asylvius]

Can we get a quick rip for the guy who willingly ate multiple spoonfuls of Vegemite for this

[spockolenbrander]

If Kubrick directed the moon landing there would be no way he would keep quiet about it. He was such a narcissist he would be bragging about it constantly

[nickh]

You could fly the conspiracy theorists to the Moon and they would still claim we've never landed people on the Moon

[esmej]

Love the fact that going to the moon was easier then getting the right lighting

The biggest problem is: if NASA didn't have the tech to actually do the moon landing for real, they wouldn't even have anything close to the tech they'd need to fake it. Remember, the onboard computer had roughly the same amount of computing power as a digital watch.
For reference, try to make a full set of CGI films and pictures with the hardware from your microwave. Good luck.

how to make a conspiracy theory:
step 1:put circles at videos and photos
step 2:say"this is not normal"

[blakeketterer]

I think the biggest thing is that the Soviets could, and would have had the ability to see if we did go to the moon. They never really objected.

[tristanneal]

I love how she goes from being cynical about the government to desperately pleading them to fake the moon landing

[Komnens]

The phrase "Adam Ruins the Moon-Landing" sounds less like he's debunking a conspiracy and more like he deliberately sabotaged the moon landing as it was happening. That's an impressive feat, considering he probably wasn't born yet in 1969. Then again, his Wikipedia page cryptically lists "March 2" without a year as his birthday, so who knows? This episode could be an elaborate cover for his lunar misdeeds.

NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing but he's such a stickler he insisted filming it on location.

[Ghalaghor_McAllistor]

I'm still waiting for Adam to ruin flat earth.

[irfanbanning]

Conspiracy theorists like to pretend they're skeptical, but they're just denialists of facts they don't like.

[mimingcat]

-Great! Now do one episode against flat-worlders! :D

[strangebrew]

Stanley Kubrick was hired to direct the footage but he demanded it be shot on location

[ok-mske]

Sounds like something a moon would say

[bartrailblockett]

3:47 “we’ll get you back in 2016”
hahaha 😂🤣
