Hot take: That moon landing denier at the diner actually made me dig deeper into Apollo 11

I was having breakfast at Mel's on Route 9 last Tuesday, and some guy at the next table started going on about studio lights in the lunar photos. I just nodded at first, but later I spent like 2 hours reading NASA's own documentation from the 60s. Found out the reflectivity of the suits and the single light source actually checks out if you do the math. Has anyone else gotten pulled into researching a conspiracy just to prove someone wrong?

Yo that's wild you actually crunched the numbers. What got me was finding out the flag was specially made with a horizontal rod to keep it out so it looked like it was waving in the wind.

Yeah that flag rod thing is the only reason I don't have to buy the whole thing was faked.
