Was the Moon Landing faked? | Neil deGrasse Tyson | Big Questions

Neil deGrasse Tyson is arguably the most influential, acclaimed scientist on the planet. As director of the Hayden Planetarium, and host of Cosmos and StarTalk, he has dedicated his life to exploring and explaining the mysteries of the universe.

Every year, he receives thousands of letters – from students to prisoners, scientists to priests. Some seek advice, others yearn for inspiration; some are full of despair, others burst with wonder. But they are all searching for understanding, meaning and truth.

His replies are by turns wise, funny, and mind-blowing. In this, his most personal book by far, he covers everything from God to the history of science, from aliens to death. He bares his soul – his passions, his doubts, his hopes. The big theme is everywhere in these pages: what is our place in the universe?

The result is an awe-inspiring read and an intimate portal into an incredible mind, which reveals the power of the universe to start conversations and inspire curiosity in all of us.

"If you have the power of geoengineering to turn Mars into Earth, then you have the power of geoengineering to turn Earth back into Earth"👏👏

You’d think the USSR would show the rest of the world how we faked it. Instead, they said “damn, they beat us!”

[ronaldosbrother]

Why can't we go there now with better technology??

[robertscott]

NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing, but he is such a perfectionist that he insisted on shooting it on location.

"If we have the power for geo engineering Mars, then we have the power to geo engineer the Earth back into Earth"
Love it.

Wow, going to the moon is easier than going through bureaucracy. Wow.

[pepetube]

My only question is, why we have not gone back to the moon in over 50 years.

I don't worry about computers and AI taking over the world; I worry about what horrible human beings will do with that technology.

"if you have the geoengineering power to turn mars into earth, then you have that same power to turn earth back into earth"
Very good point

[kennycoombs]

Imagine saying something so profound that this guy even says “Ooo that’s deep.”

[bmacthecat]

how the conspiracy theorists think it went:

"Yo joe, you got the footage yet"
"Yep jim, releasing to the public now"

"Joe some guy on facebook realised there's no stars, how'd you miss that?"
"I dunno"

[williamli]

Claiming the moon landing is fake is the equivalent of an engineer being told by a conspiracy theorist that all of math and science is bullshit.

[CorsetGrace]

A.I. This is why I always say "Thank you, " to the ATM when I withdrawal cash....they remember.

[rizkybossman]

Then you have the geoengineering to turn earth back into earth.
That is genius

Imagine 50 year's ago we had the concorde an aircraft capable of supersonic flight capable of flying across the atlantic in 3 hours if it was possible then it should be very easy now yet aircraft are getting slowly why haven't we developed faster planes shouldn't it be easy if we could do it 50 years ago.

Thus the concorde never existed.

[crizmartinez]

If we did go to the moon, why can't we go back? Im sure we would have gone like 100 times by now and would have structures and settlements there by now..
