You can provide all sorts of documentation and even photographic and scientific evidence, but nothing short of building a time machine and sending them to the moon so they can watch Neil Armstrong actually stepping out of the LM will get them to believe. > In this case I’m sure they’ll say something like the terrain around the landers doesn’t match the footage or the shadows look too big or some other line of BS. This would be true if the only people doubting the issue are the typical nut-jobs who love conspiracy theories and the like. However, I was reading an article about this that mentioned that younger people are increasingly willing to doubt the truth of the moon shots. This is apparently linked to two things: they weren’t around when they happened, and we haven’t been back, so they have no faith that they actually happened. Sadly, our society is becoming increasingly skeptical about all the wrong things. ☹ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-they-found-the-landers-hoax-over/503401)._
