Moon Landing Hoax

Impossible?

The moon landing hoax conspiracy tells us more about our perceptions as human beings rather than about the moon landing itself. While most pundits and experts have come to a general consensus that the moon landing did in fact happen, there is still a significant portion of the population that doubt this. Notwithstanding the enormous cost of faking such an enormous endeavour with so many participants, conspiracy theorists refuse to accept that landing on the moon is a feasible and historical accomplishment.

The inability to believe the moon landing stems largely from a lack of understanding about how surmountable the task really is. It is difficult for many people to wrap their heads around complex concepts and it is simply much easier to reject something rather than to look at it analytically. However, all great things seem difficult at first. If you were to ask a child whether or not a sail boat can sail upwind, it is likely that they may answer no.

Indeed, the point of this post is not only to point out our very human apprehension of FUD, but also to recognize the importance of viewing something impossibly hard as something within our grasp.
