My cousin tried to convince me the moon landing was fake over Thanksgiving dinner

He brought it up right after we finished eating. Pulled out his phone to show me some blurry video. Said the flag waving proved it was a soundstage. I tried to explain basic physics, the lack of air in space. He just shook his head and called me a sheep. The whole thing ruined pie. Has anyone else had a family holiday derailed by this stuff?

Oh my god, the flag thing? That's the oldest one in the book. They literally designed it with a horizontal rod to make it look like it was waving for the photos! The fact that he thinks that's some big secret proof just kills me. You can't win with that. Sorry about your pie.

Did you see that Buzz Aldrin actually punched a moon landing denier once?
