Japan's Lunar lander, ouch. They should have had some [ 3 ] robotic arms built into it to right itself like a bug, in a scenario like this.🤔:p

The earth is 3 times the size of the moon yet it looks the same size as the moon does from earth. This is a picture from the news today of the recent landing. Maybe I'm missing something. Just curious.

It is basic camera focal length distortion.

You can see it for yourself. Super basic example, doable by anyone with a smart phone or camera.
Set a coke/beer can on your desk, zoom all the way out. Move until the coke can takes up say half of your screen (something semi repeatable, could make it the size of your thumb if you prefer). Snap a picture with something of decent size in the background (doorway, tree, neighbors house). Now without moving the can, or background object, zoom all the way in. Obviously you will have to move back from the can, but make it the same size it was in the first picture. And then compare the size of the background pictures...

Tada, you have just debunked a moon landing hoax argument!

That's not a photo, its an artistic rendering.

In fact - there are no photos or video available yet of the landing from yesterday. They were struggling to get basic communication and to confirm the lander was still intact and upright. They're expecting the first image sometime today.

Seems even more AMAZING that we broadcast the '69 Apollo landing live to the world as it happened, doesn't it? :D

Ask the artist that drew it. As of yesterday evening the Odysseus was barely capable of transmitting a weak signal, let alone any images and what took the picture you posted ?

Not amazing when you've read the various stories of just how much money, number of various companies, people and effort was put towards making that live event possible. That was anything but some casual -- " Oh hey, let's broadcast this for the world to see" event, not even close, that was a mission undertaking all of it's own.

LOL. Yea, we watched it live, crystal clear transmission in 1969 yet they can't even transmit a picture. Note that I never even thought about it not really happening until recently, but the evidence is, well, compelling.

who is THEY ? What evidence ?
Is this in regards to yesterdays landing ?
If you've read anything you know they had serious problems and were in a way lucky to get it down intact and upright. The Eagle Cam was suppose to have ejected 100 feet above the lunar surface in order to shoot live shots of the landing itself. Due to the problems and reboot required they decided to disconnect the power to it to mitigate further problems. They intent to deploy that camera and another once they get all systems stabilized.

I gotta admit what @bentprops posted seems to have a much more drastic angle change. I did read the article and it’s very informative.

That image he posted was taken from that article and it explains it, context, it's important.

The only differences I see is that somebody removed the Gold H and added two red lines in order to attempt to prove some rather meaningless intersection as the content of the article explains.

I've provided factual explanations with backup for most of the items on your list. If you choose not to believe those facts, that's on you.

But I'll try one more time with the LM. There's no atmosphere in space. It's a vacuum. There is no aerodynamic drag in a vacuum.

I don't have to prove anything. Your ignorance of basic science is the problem.
