Q: Why are all the Apollo photos so perfect and crystal clear?

Interesting how, the only time a photo of space has been faked, it's spaceflight enthusiasts who found it, immediately.
Not flat earthers.
Wonder why.

If your KSP spacecraft tumbled into facing its unshielded side - or its engines - toward peak reentry heating, it would explode within a second.
Starship said "Nah".

A lot of people crying at Scott for this, but he's right. Moon hoaxers are almost exclusively right wing. I don't know why. I don't know how it happened. But they are.
The stupid moon landing hoax comments are in full force today on YouTube. Why exactly are the MAGA people the ones who are convinced the US faked the greatest achievement of the US space program?

It's one thing to step out of your spacecraft when it's 200-400 km away from the Earth.
It's quite another to do it when it's 300, 000 km away from the Earth.
