All the flat earthers are shitting themselves all over YouTube and social media trying to discredit all of this.

The sheer lack of understanding of simple concepts like camera focal lengths and exposure is half the battle with these morons

You can clearly see the Earth is a flat disk here with someone holding a big sunshade off camera. Checkmate, atheists!

I mean it's clearly flat. And 78% void

The contrast of Artemis showing the promise of what we could be to Trump demonstrating how horrible we have become is quite the gut punch.

It's funny and kinda sad, a lot of people felt the same way about Apollo 8 back in 1968 which flew  a similar mission profile against a background of Vietnam and race issues coming to a head at home.

Damn I had not even thought about that. Reminds me of that spoken word piece, “Whitey’s on the moon.”

There seems to be some confusion about Artemis' trajectory. This should help: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/artemis-ii-mission-timeline/

They should really fly by the 1969 landing site and take some photos too. That would really clear some things up for me...

It's already been done by multiple other nations. Look up Chandrayaan-2 an Indian orbiter that took an incredible picture of said landing site. With a very clear Apollo 11 lunar lander still remaining.

in order to get that much curve in the horizon they have to be really far away and zoomed in, but then they shouldn't be able to see craters at the bottom like they're seen from above, that would all be zoomed in horizontal horizon and just flat grey
