Now this is shitposting!

I can't see a problem with the shadows, what I am questioning though is why isn't the cat wearing a space helmet?
I can understand not needing a spacesuit because the fur will keep it warm, but it's really being let down by the lack of head protection and air supply!!

"Damn it Frankie, you let the cat out again! It's your turn to chase him."

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

C'mon, didn't you ever go to school? Everyone knows that moon cats cast opposite shadows.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

That's just science.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago

This dummy doesn't know about Moon's stray cats, lmao.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Indeed, the cats tail should cast a shadow. Moon landing was fake.

My brother believes the moon landings were faked and filmed on a giant soundstage.

He cited all sorts of "evidence" including the flag flapping in the "wind".

I asked him why, after going to all the trouble and expense of trying to convincingly fake the moon landings, would NASA install fans.

The Van Halen radiation belts rock too hard though.

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The moon landing was fake. NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to stage it, but that perfectionist bastard insisted on shooting the exterior scenes on location...

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Nah man, it was Quentin Tarantino. That's why the astronauts are all barefoot.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 38 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's even simpler than that. The Soviet Union was the biggest US enemy at the time. They obviously would have tracked the flight from launch to landing. Why would they go along with a US conspiracy? Wouldn't they be the first to say it was fake?

The greatest adversary of the US, literally in a cold war using space as a proxy for active fighting, with every reason to expose any lies... Were in on it.

If they believe that they're a lost cause. They can go back to their tin foil hat.

Oh he's absolutely lost

Fortunately his conspiracy beliefs are harmless. He at least still believes vaccines are essential for children's health, which is good as I have young nieces and nephews.

Get him to watch The Dish

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Just tell him small-minded people can't comprehend big things and see if he even gets it. Which is true, but also a dick thing to say like that if he is smart enough to understand the slight.

Sadly, apparently bouncing a laser off the moon via the reflectors left up there by Apollo missions isn't hard exactly, just expensive to get the right equipment to do it right.

How to get a cat on the moon: tell them they’re not allowed on the moon

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago

Haters will say this is fake

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but did you see the dancing bear?

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

No, but I did see the gorilla. ..on the rewatch

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

You mean on Pornhub?

[–] heiligerbimbam@lemmy.wtf 9 points 10 hours ago

Yes, clearly visible: Astro Cat's shadow could only have been created by studio spotlights.
