The moon being higher or lower doesn't have anything to do with it. Different camera lens focal lengths will give you *vastly* different images. Basically, the higher the focal length, the more the background is "flattened" together with the foreground. Take a look:

Oh i see

2020-02-24 15:57:16 UTC  

Japan's photo of the moon's surface would have a shallow focal length and capture more of the foreground, but the earth would appear distant. If the ship was very far away from the moon and zoomed in on it, you'd get a much, much larger earth.

I actually made a short vid to demonstrate, just a sec.

Okay makes sense now.

2020-02-24 16:00:43 UTC  

Ofcourse still doesnt prove we went to thr moon but sure that pic doesnt disprove it either

2020-02-24 16:04:26 UTC  

oh, totally. It doesn't prove we went, just that the varying images we see are technically *possible*.

2020-02-24 16:11:17 UTC  

Iv been looking for a channel like this for so long

2020-02-24 20:33:17 UTC  

<:PotatoFlatEarth:651630736712925195>

2020-02-24 21:32:48 UTC  

OK I'm glad that was cleared up

2020-02-24 21:32:57 UTC  

That was satisfying to read

2020-02-24 21:55:22 UTC  

Hi Guys, I'm really interested in this sand smuggling theory. It kind of makes sense to me. Does anyone else have any resources on this?

2020-02-24 21:55:51 UTC  

Chef toasty, you miss the point of this channel dude

2020-02-24 21:58:44 UTC  

Nah

2020-02-24 22:15:46 UTC  

Well that guy got nuked

2020-02-24 22:43:45 UTC  

would anyone with the pedogate role like to talk about it (ping me)

2020-02-24 23:32:51 UTC  

@sebco2020 its not just a theory, there are gangs dedicated to doing it - read this article to learn about the basics I guess https://www.wired.com/2015/03/illegal-sand-mining/

Selling sand is a huge industry, we need beach and ocean sands to build our cities to make concrete and glass and almost all our tech

2020-02-24 23:40:39 UTC  

Desert sand doesn't work though

2020-02-24 23:41:06 UTC  

Its too round and its the wrong shape, as it was created by wind, not water magma or glaciers

2020-02-25 05:09:18 UTC  

Silicon also has applications in various biomedical components, and material composites.

2020-02-25 05:09:27 UTC  

It was, for a short time, used as a NERA-type.

2020-02-25 05:09:34 UTC  

And even in the USSR / Russia, it still is.

2020-02-25 07:58:31 UTC  

We never went to the moon and I doubt if we never will and we sure are never going to Mars Elon musk and President Trump and NASA are on a fast train to nowhere

2020-02-25 18:04:58 UTC  

Well, not true, but you do you.

2020-02-25 18:42:14 UTC  

We have regressed I guess

2020-02-25 18:42:56 UTC  

**cough modern medicine is greater than the dark ages cough**

2020-02-25 19:27:34 UTC  

I mean, we now live way longer

2020-02-25 19:32:13 UTC  

We don’t

2020-02-25 19:32:24 UTC  

We keep getting sicker

2020-02-25 19:33:18 UTC  

So people used to live to over 70 on average over 100 years ago?

2020-02-25 19:33:39 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-25 19:33:43 UTC  

Well

2020-02-25 19:33:50 UTC  

Avergae is not a fair term

2020-02-25 19:34:05 UTC  

People had to deal with wars

2020-02-25 19:34:10 UTC  

And famine

2020-02-25 19:34:13 UTC  

If average goes up, then more people are living longer

2020-02-25 19:34:19 UTC  

Yes, society has improved
