It is not that much more southerly than the south of the UK but I suppose the
air is clearer than the cities that I've lived in. You need to go south to
really see the Milky Way.

That's an awful lot of work to get the aberrations of an optical system
just right, imo... But, hey... when your primary job is to perpetuate a
government conspiracy, anything's possible, right? lol.
They need to take the conspiracy nuts to one of the telescopes that has
a laser attached, then aim it at that corner reflector on the moon.
Gee, how did that get there?

That's freaking batshit insane! They can't deal with a new idea so they
come up with all sorts of crap to discredit it. Don't understand why
they can't simply deal with an achievement.

It's a psychological thing: Believing what the government tells you,
especially about awesome achievements, is being submissive, gullible and
controllable. If you believe what they say, you are just part of the gray
mass of people, cattle.
The conspiracy theorists want to be different. They don't want to be
submissive nor gullible, they don't want to be mind-controlled by anyone's
lies. They want to be part of the minority who knows better. They want to
think with their own brains, rather than being force-fed "truths" by others.
They want to be important.
Ironically, by believing and defending the ridiculous conspiracy theories
they are doing exactly what they wanted to avoid: In other words, they are
being gullible and easily manipulatable by others.
