Why is it that I can't access these types of link? Do I copy it from the http bit or from somewhere else?

I highlighted the whole thing and it worked for me. Highlight, control C, go to address line, highlight that, control V and it should pop up there, sometimes I have to hit cntl V twice to get the line in.

I had not realised until a friend told me but the alleged Apollo 11 landing was when thre moon was in its first quarter!
Why choose a small target and make the job difficult?.
Also launch time was during the day when they couldn't even see their target!
Both these facts are verifiable.
Just DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

"alleged Apollo 11 landing?" You must be a conspiracy theorist. And I thought only intelligent people played chess!

Because there's no way a conspiracy could ever happen on this planet, huh.

There is a list of the top ten ways to tell if a conspiracy theory is likely to be bogus.


I would like to see the following potential theories tested:

A. Conspiracy: convince the population that there was a moon landing. The conspirators acted to convince the population to believe they happened.

B. Conspiracy: convince the population that there was not a moon landing. The conspirators acted to convince the population to believe they never happened.

That the conspirators of theory A were more successful is not relevant. Or is it?

Also the American flag fluttered in the wind, but...there's no wind on the moon, AND, it's clearly obvious from the photos that there are no stars in the lunar sky.

BOOM.

Nobody knows if there is wind on the moon or not.
And nobody knows what colour the lunar sky is.

However we do know that Apollo 11 crew supposedly took pre-packed
"space food" for the voyage there and the return !!!
Why?
When there is all that cheese? They only needed to take crackers.
