Is There Real Evidence for the Moon Landing?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the validity of evidence supporting the moon landing. Participants assert that tangible evidence, such as lunar soil samples, videos from the moon, and hardware left on the lunar surface, provide conclusive proof of the landings. The conversation emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and dismisses conspiracy theories as unfounded. There is a strong consensus that the evidence available is credible and should be acknowledged. Overall, the moon landing is supported by substantial physical and documentary evidence.

First- I definitely believe we landed on the moon. But is there any real evidence? Pictures, rocks, and huge, expensive shuttles aren't conclusive evidence, are they?

I don't think it's worth discussing this stuff here.

Yes they are. You can see and hold the lunar soil samples that were returned. That is tangible physical evidence that we went there. You can watch the video that was taken while people were on the moon. You can even go back to the moon and find the hardware that we left there in the 60's and 70's. You can watch the interviews from people who went there.

Denying the moon landings is a bit like denying that WW2 took place.

Welcome to PF.

I hate to be rude to a new member, but what would you consider "real evidence?" That's a rhetorical question. I, for example, consider video taken on the surface of the moon and rocks brought back from it to be "real evidence". Saying that these things aren't (and coming here and asking the question), to me, implies a lack of critical thinkinging and a willingness to believe the conspiracy theories. Please, please re-evaluate your critical thinking process. You don't want to fall into that way of thinking. It is self-destructive.

Anyway, we don't entertain conspiracy theories here. And this one is a pretty dumb one.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
