The Moon Hoax enthusiasts have a lot to say regarding things they know very little about.
Here’s a list of things to go look up: 1. Basic photography – This’ll help you understand how many shadows an object has to have if lit from multiple sources.
2. Image flattening – Photographs are 2 dimensional renderings of 3 dimensional objects. The shadow irregularities are a result of subtracting depth (breadth) and leaving only height and width. We can no longer perceive the irregularities in the Moon’s surface that influence the orientation of shadows. 3. Film developing – Because the astronauts wore fairly cumbersome gloves, they were not able to do more than pull a shutter trigger on the Hasselblad cameras harnessed to their space suits. Neither could they look through the veiwfinder. They simply pointed and shot. The cameras were designed for automatically setting the aperture and shutter speed. Even then, the high contrast of the Moon’s surface and the blackness of the sky caused some exposure problems. These were addressed back on Earth when the films were developed and printed. This in part explains why astronauts in the shadow of any object are not completely obliderated from view. On the other hand, go outside on a sunny day and stand in the shadow of your house. Hold your hand out in front of you. Surprise! You can still see your hand. 4. The Moon’s surface – It’s useful to know that the Moon’s regolith (dirt) is pwdery in texture. It’s even more helpful to understand it’s composition. Under electron microscopes, the regolith proves to be tiny beads of volcanic glass. This gives the Moon’s surface extraordinary refractive and reflective properties, much like the heiligenschein produced on dewey grass. This helps to further explain why the astronauts are not obscured by shadows as well as the so-called “hot spot” created by studio lighting.
Spend as much time researching the science of Project Apollo as you have wasted reading conspiracy theories and you’ll probably learn something.

All of you Moon landing “skeptics” have clearly devoted hours and hours of time poring over the conspiracy angle. How much time have you actually devoted to researching the Apollo program or, good gravy, familiarizing yourselves with basic physical …
