Like, a telescope will show the proof. Look at the moon, all the landing sites are on the planet facing side.

    They'll just move the goalposts. When my sister went QAnon crazy she started spouting all sorts of bullshit like the moon landing being fake.

    I pointed this out to her, and she just insisted that later moon missions were real and planted evidence for the faked early ones. I also pointed out OP's point (if the landing was faked, the USSR would have called out that bullshit) but she insists she's smarter than the KGB.

    I don't speak with her anymore.

    My favorite thing is "We wouldn't have had the technology to go to the moon in 1969"

    So Apollo 12 (1969) 14 (1971) 15 (1971) 16 (1972) 17 (1972)

    Were all fake too?

    So we faked the first moon landing and then proceeded to fake 5 more moon landings in 3 years?

    That sounds real smart

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Earth-based telescope would be able to see anything we left at the landing sites.

    Yes, but no.

    As you're well aware, no telescope on Earth can see the leftover descent stages of the Apollo Lunar Modules or anything else Apollo-related. Not even the Hubble Space Telescope can discern evidence of the Apollo landings. The laws of optics define its limits.
