yes

like the sun

so wait a second you believe that the moon is flat also?

it's not a solid object

so you think the moon is a liquid?

or a gas or what

no. it's a light

that's all we can determine scientifically

though some scientists have hypothesized that it's plasma

we don't have the funding to do the experiments necessary to fully understand it

like NASAs $55,000,000 per day

It's solid?

We've been there?

no

And yes I know its fake and all

But it's more possible than plasma or a projection or something crazy like that

if that were the case how have moon reflection experiments been done by pointing a laser at a mirror placed on the moon which reflects back

have you done them yourself?

those were done preApollo

so you think every single person who has done that experiment is lying?

there is only one lab that supposedly does it

and I doubt it

I worked extensively with lasers in grad school

Yeah you didnt go to grad school

I doubt it

it's hard enough to photograph the moon with a telescope because it moves so fast

and to target some small mirror with a laser? highly unlikely. it's hard enough to properly align a laser across 1m for light scattering experiments in a lab

yeah I have gotten off track with what my original statement was going to be

From far away the moon appears to have little to no movement at all

get a P900

You don't grasp how massive things are

try taking shots zoomed all the way in

it moves so fast it's hard to even capture a good shot with a solid tripod

there is readily accessable technology that can track the moon

ok

I have it sitting under my couch
