Well you can’t really hear noises in space, let alone Hawaiian noises. Banging on those bongos like a chimpanzee.

Wow! What a strong, square jaw Neil has. And who could forget Buzz and his saucepan hat. Iconic.

Do not mock the ReBoot ancestors.

And, you know, there's the remnants of what was intentionally left behind. FUN FACT: after the crew reached orbit, the lander was (1/x)
MisterLemons
jettisoned and allowed to impact the lunar surface at a mile per second fully pressurized resulting in dirbs fields almost 2 miles long(2/x)
MisterLemons
The impact was the first artificial moon quake and was used to calibrate the seismometers left behind as well as map the lunar interior(3/3)

We gotta install microwave ovens.
Custom kitchen deliveries.
We gotta move these refrigerators.
We gotta move these colour TV's.

It was faked by Kubrick. But he was such a perfectionist that he insisted on it being faked on the moon.

russia was so far up our ass during the space race if we HAD faked the moon landing they would have exposed us

This may be confusing for the younger imgurians but back in my day MTV stood for Music Television and thry actually played music.

What's a microwave oven?

Apparently a way to fast charge your phone. Go try.
EveryUsernameIsTaken4
It would be more expensive than actually landing on the moon
JustinArnold
Gotta love needing miniature omni colored lasers.....before lasers could be small enough to not be team/forklift only and only came in red.
paintingagency
You have to launch a Saturn V into LEO in front of thousands of eye witnesses and Soviet military radar. Might as well go to the moon now!
OhIfIMust
The US had bribed them with grain shipments to help with a famine... NVM it was 40 years before, these people will believe anything 1/2
OhIfIMust
except what the evidence actually points to. 2/2

"The Soviets were in on it too"... welp.
PhoenixLord
The Soviet Union and the US working together would be an even bigger conspiracy by itself.
GlenL
They'll just tell you the cold war was also a hoax, they're that deluded.
KaiaPaws
Not a moon-landing denier, but isn't the original footage a grainy black-and-white 50x100 video at like 10 FPS lol?
orbitn
I think it was sent via telecine off of a slow-scan feed and all we have now is a duplicate because someone destroyed the original?
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Someone did a breakdown of the process needed to fake the landing and it would have been cheaper and easier to go to the moon than fake it.

The video footage is, yes - but the film footage is of quality equivalent to today's 2k.
Gryphonosiris
Also the whole landing was broadcast live across the world for many hours and there wasn't enough video tape in the world at the time for it

Beverly Hill-Billies
ratfaceddog
There’s at least two references to the Beverly Hillbillies (what’s the hyphen about, btw?) in this comment section. What’s the connection?
CeruleanK
Weird Al made a parody of Money For Nothing (the music video pictured here) from the Beverly Hillbillies theme song. It's in his film UHF
HelloThisIsIT
I mean they made a time machine out of a Delorean that year
hushpuppyextraordinaire
Well, If your going to make a time machine why not do it In style.
Norwegiansilverback
The fastest computer in 1985 was about 50 times as fast as the fastest in 1969.
AtypicalMammal
I would have thought it was much more than that, with Moores law and all. But nah, you're right
AtypicalMammal
1969 CDC 7600 36 megaflops, 1985 Cray 1, 1.4 gigaflops. About 50x faster.
Norwegiansilverback
That's only about 40x. By 1985 the Cray-2 was out. It did 1.9 GFlops.
PballQhead
FLOPS are kinda a shaky comparison between architectures though, that's why they invented VUPs
DukeDarkwood
Trivia: The CG portions of that video were done by Mainframe, who later made the animated series, ReBoot. These characters even made a cameo
DukeDarkwood
in the episode "Talent Show".
FabulouslyTiti
That's the only way that I know these characters. :') (https://youtu.be/_WBCZ-11VWk?t=69 in case anyone is interested)
Zeterai
Further Trivia: ReBoot has in fact been rebooted... into a live action ripoff of Code Lyoko that has absolutely nothing to do with ReBoot.
DukeDarkwood
With all due respect: NO IT HASN'T I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA!

Is that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong?
Iamdisgusto
Yes.
fredrikzilla
Sure looks like it
Shamorza
Nope, if you look closely there are some sort of lockers on the left side, which weren't on the moon back in 1969. I'd say it is CGI
ahhhhtomzilla
QUIT SPREADING MISINFORMATION! There absolutely has been lockers on the moon LONG before 1969. It’s kinda like the ending to the first MIB.

The people working at stores smoked cigars in 1985. Can you imagine that just a few years ago?
Noodlesocks
I remember the smell of cafes and restaurants and the smog floating around the room and your food.
Billis75
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), Rat is directing people at the movie theater to the smoking section.
ShellPhish
36 years ago is just a few huh? :)
DotcoreJetkill
That's not what I meant. I wanted to say NOW, but this mid-pandemic NOW is very different from the 2019 NOW
corpofilth
How dare you
Murmull
People smoked on planes, trains and buses.
OntDave
Even in hospitals
RalphH
AND in restaurants
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
I remember going to a restaurant as a kid and being seated at the "non-smoking table"
A1J1K1
I remember my dad saying when ever he got impatient with the waiting hed light up a cigarette. Within 5 minute the food would be out.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
And right beside you would be a smoking table so you'd get a face-full of smoke anyway.

Wrong! Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, but he was a perfectionist that he demanded that they shoot it on location.

Toast proved thus though!

Warner Herzog would have hauled the rocket up to the moon with rope a pulley.
DooksandPooks
I honestly believe we landed on the moon, however I also think the US government wanted a contingency plan in case it failed. Enter Kubrick
Pgoodso
And he laughed, took the check knowing it was stupid and impossible, and a conspiracy was born.
