I never doubted we landed. Great job guys. 👍

Considering the heroism of the astronauts undertaking such a dangerous mission, it is deeply disrespectful to call it a hoax. I'm in awe of their courage.

Happy to see this video still getting traction 8 years ago! You make great content :)

As one of many millions of people who are old enough to remember the space race starting with Sputnik, , saying that these moon landings didn't happen is like saying that a part of my life didn't happen, even though I was just an interested bystander to all this. I can just imagine how the people who were actually part of the space program must feel about such absurd claims.

Not gonna tip toe around the subject but she is quite the looker, makes it easy to learn!

Amy, I'm an engineer by training, it was all just possible with 60's technology. I also understand that modern laser rangefinding can still find the ALSEP mirror.

[pschroeter]

Their moon landing looks even more impressive when you see they set it down among some fairly large craters.

Amy, thank you for giving time to this important subject. I don't know how to express my experience as a child, watching all the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. Anybody at the time who would have tried to discredit the reality of our achievements would have been considered completely insane.

Great to see the progression of your content and how you've developed your hosting filming, and editing skills. The change in how comfortable you are in front of the camera shows.

I've been reading and soaking up a great deal of content you've made, and you're part of a holy trinity of things that I have managed to utilise to engender an interest in space for my children, the others being SpaceX launches and gaming (space sims and kerbal-esque fun) through the lockdown period.

The only negative I found was the Ars Technica debacle, which surprised me that it couldn't so easily be resolved. Whatever the case all human beings are flawed and why anyone who is a proponent of space wouldn't be able to resolve such issues with discretion is beyond me, when all you're doing is giving you flavour, using your appeal to draw attention to similar subject matter and help inspire others the same way both yourself and the other authors/writers would have wanted to do in the first place.

Keep up the good work.

She absolutely 100% true nasa DID land on the moon

[sbentjies]

Nice to see a fellow Torontonian. I grew up in Brampton watching the Apollo launches

[bearlemley]

I'm living in SE Asia now and I'm surprised how many people believe any conspiracy here. I'm am doing my part to educate the masses but factual video's from Amy help so much more! It's not that people from SE Asia can't reason, it's just that science education is down quite a bit. As it seems it is in Thailand. So space travel just seems so utterly fantastic, it might seem that it is not real as I have known it growing up in central Florida with friends families that made a lot of happen.

[jamiegodman]

I dunno Amy. You sound so convincing, but the actual pictures from the LRO simply show a few white dots. Why is still so far away from the surface, but the MRO was able to get pictures zoomed all the way down to the surface?

[freemanlowell]

Just found this channel and absolutely love it. Great job all, subscribed.

[rjohnsonball]

Conspiracists have trouble with the math. Looking at a 1 meter object on the moon 200, 000 miles away is exactly proportional to looking at a 1 millimeter object (head of a pin) that is 200 miles away. Also proportionally, a 10 meter object (33 feet) on the moon is like looking at the head of a pin 20 miles away.

[benkerr]

Considering the AV technology aailable in the 60's, it would have been impossible to fake the footage. Difficult as it was, going to the moon was an easier option.

[WATERDOG]

Can you do a video on the canceled Apollo 18, 19 and 20 missions? Where they were going to land, what were the mission objectives, and who were the crews? I've always wondered what got dumped when the missions were scrapped. Thanks BTW, love your channel, great work!

[angelolemma]

nice job amy keep up the great work you found a fan in me I think its awesome for someone like yourself to have so much knowledge about the space program that has changed this world for the better thanx

[boberthim]

You could put them on a ship to Tranquility Base, and show them Neil Armstrong's footprints. And they would STILL spin a conspiracy. (Which WILL happen some future day.)

[didierbernard]

Thank you for your very interesting videos.
I suggest you give the dimensions in meters rather than feet.
Otherwise, with dimensions in feet, only three countries on Earth can understand you.
