He may not be able to understand shadows or reflections, but his projection game is really strong.

Crazy seeing people like this that are so self assured and confident in their super epic gotchas when it’s always just something that can be explained to an average 12 year old.

The most impressive thing is how you understood anything that guy was saying.

[andystokes]

One thing I have noticed over the years is that the people who are knowledgeable or even experts in their field never find it necessary to shout abuse. If, for example, Neil DeGrasse Tyson were to be questioned about the universe by somebody who had perhaps misunderstood something he would respond with facts and explain why and where the questioner had got it wrong. I don't think the would tell that person that they are a pizza sheet. The moment somebody starts using this sort of language you can safely dismiss everything else they might have to say.

Yes, that's known as a _design._

[joaltman]

For those of us that watched the moon landings in real time when it happened, there was no question of it being fake - none at all.

This guy must have his mind blown by the idiots on TikTok holding items behind a piece of paper against a mirror and marvelling at seeing their reflections.

"a dishonest pizza sheet" - gotta remember that one. It's priceless!!!

People who went to the Moon in that flimsy looking thing and the people who enabled it were real pioneers.

Given his obvious confusion over reflections, admittedly in a curved visor, I'm guessing this chap is also someone who might have posted one of those 'how can the mirror see this thing I've hidden from it using a piece of paper?' videos that are going around just now.

That's something that always bothers me about conspiracy theorists. Firstly, they're incredibly good at faking things... except for leaving these obvious clues, and secondly, they can swear hundred or thousands of ppl to secrecy... but they can't silence one crank on the internet.

[hippopotamus]

Conspiracy theorists don't use logic, they find one small thing and focus on it, putting their own spin on it until it fits their narrative, at the same time using abuse as a poor attempt to silence those that actually make good points they don't like. Love it! Keep it up.

Dave, I followed the Moon Landing hoax back when the original Fox "documentary" came out, but your work is some of the best and most concise debunking I've ever seen - keep up the great work

[thedishonorableparasite]

With such a detailed understanding of how reflections work, I guess it‘s just a matter of a few weeks until that guy can prove that his own mirror image is fake.

[dont.beknown]

Dave, keep up the great work. The last time I "conversed" with flat earthers was over the first spacewalk - helmet movement. I showed them the difference between the space suit designs (the NASA descriptions for suit candidates through the different programs were available through a google search) and for my time and effort, I won the glorious label of "sock puppet" and was blocked. I've never tried again. They're hopeless...

[RolfStones]

As a Dutch person I'd like to apologize for my fellow Dutch man, Quimfy aka 'dorpsgek'.

[hectormuzquiz]

Well done and I admire how you destroy his ranting with normal, well explained reasons.

Mr. McKeegan, I wanna thank you for what you do; as someone who used to doubt (although not downright disbelieve) we’d gone to the moon, what you and others like you do, really helped me. I subscribed to your page today, I hope it helps your numbers so you can keep doing what you’re doing. I love science and I love the truth.

From the accent I take away that you’re British; the fact that you defend what America accomplished, (although be it not alone and not just for Americans) as an American, it helped me trust your lack of bias and that you just want to tell the truth.

When one is subject to something it’s difficult to be objective, but when we’re standing on the outside of a problem our perspective is clearer. You’ve lent us your perspective.

That you don’t abuse people who abuse you, when you prove them wrong, you just use the facts; is something I really respect. If you’re ever tempted to do so, don’t ever stoop to that level. It’s too easy.

Thank you.

I seriously had to re-watch 2:00 to 3:00 like 5 times to figure out what the hell they thought the problem was. Just over and over again I'm thinking "Why has he drawn this extra shadow in?" Just absolutely mind boggling that somebody can be so confused about something so trivial.

I'm still not sure _why_ he thinks this way. I guess the angle of the shadows appears to be different due to the curved visor, so he assumed they must be different shadows, so he assumed the one in the visor must be cast by the thing it's obviously not being cast by, so he assumed it was fake? That's the best I've got, and it's _still_ astonishingly dumb.
