i was today years old when i realized already fake moon landings were even faker than i thought

i always knew it would be practically impossible to overcome moon gravity to go back but i failed to consider how hard even landing on the moon in the first place is since everything that lands on earth relies on the atmosphere to slow down whether it is by using wings of the space shuttle or by using a parachute

mars has atmosphere too

Space X rockets landing back on earth even though they don't use wings or parachute still benefit from the atmosphere slowing them down before they use thrusters for the final touch down

but landing on the moon you would be in free fall without anything to slow you down at all ...

if you jump out of airplane without parachute you only reach 120 mph terminal velocity due to air resistance, which is less than top speed of most sports cars ... the atmosphere is THAT effective at slowing down a falling object ...

but on the moon there is none ...

so even landing a drone on the moon without completely destroying it is already challenging enough in 2024 ... they managed to land one without destroying it this week but it tipped over during landing and is on its side ...

yet they want you to believe they not only landed a manned craft ( which would be much heavier ) on the moon in 1969 but somehow got it back to earth as well ...
