I was fully convinced the moon landing was faked until my brother-in-law, an aerospace engineer, walked me through the laser reflectors last Thanksgiving.

Wait, you were a full moon landing denier until LAST YEAR? That's wild, man. I figured most people who believed that stuff were stuck in like, the 90s internet. The laser reflector thing is pretty solid proof (you can literally bounce a laser off it yourself with the right gear). Honestly, it's kind of impressive your brother-in-law had the patience to explain it at Thanksgiving dinner.

Yeah the laser reflector thing, but you ever think maybe they just put that up there with a robot later?

Quinn says people who believe this stuff are stuck in the 90s internet, but that's a pretty convenient way to dismiss anyone asking tough questions. Even if we've got laser reflectors up there, how do you prove they weren't placed by an unmanned rover or something later, exactly? I'm not saying the landing definitely didn't happen, but one piece of evidence doesn't automatically make the whole grainy TV production real.
