What if you didn’t have a TV. Would you know about it? What maybe you’ve not been told about ?

It's the opposite of 'nonsense'. It's hard to think of any events in human history with more evidence for them having taken place than the moon landings.
That much is true. All the more reason to question everything. That was an understatement. We've cleared the shark, done a double somersault, gone through the earth's atmosphere, hit the roof that the flat earth has to stop us from escaping and come back down.

You're not being shouted at. It's somewhere between pity and disbelief.
Why pity? I don’t care if you believe the nonsense, why should you care if believe the non nonsense?JuanCarlosFandango said:

As opposed to people who have been indoctrinated at birth about certain realities, how do you think they fit in your paradigm? The moon landings were 50 years ago, pretty sure you don’t need conspiracy theorists to question that, considering so much has happened since. If you still believe what happens in 1969 was true, surely you’re a bit unhingihed?
Scientists and engineers aren’t “indoctrinated”, they are educated.And of course you need to be a conspiracy theorist to question the moon landings.
As to your last sentence, if it was true in 1969 it is still true now.

You mean the intelligent, educated and well read people ?
That post of his sums up a lot of what drives conspiracy theorists. They are desperate to get one over on the sort of people who did well at school, who actually studied, and went on to gain expertise.It’s the thought of showing them all that that slow kid at school was really the intelligent one that drives much of it.
Just out of interest, how would you feel if it was revealed that it was faked ?
Personally, I'd think it was genius and incredible how they'd managed to fool so many people for so long.

How would you feel if your car engine turned out to be powered by elves not by combustion?
How would you feel if the sun was actually being towed across the skies in a chariot?
These are all as likely as your theory that the moon landings were faked, except for the first one which is far more plausible.
