I finally saw the math behind the moon landing hoax theory at a local meetup last week
I went to a conspiracy discussion group in Denver last Thursday and a guy laid out his whole argument with photos and orbital mechanics numbers. He compared his calculations to NASA's published data and said there was a 15% difference in the trajectory they claimed versus what's possible with 1969 tech. Has anyone else looked into the actual rocket fuel numbers and seen something that doesn't add up?

Doesn't the fact that we can barely get a TikTok video to load on a good day make you wonder how they supposedly livestreamed from the moon in 1969? I mean, I can't even get my car's GPS to agree with the map on my phone, so 15% off in a rocket trajectory sounds about right for government math. Honestly, if I were a hoaxer, I'd at least make the lunar rocks look like something other than concrete from Home Depot.

Double check that 15% number with a quick back of the envelope calculation - if their math was off by that much, the LM would've ended up somewhere around the Orbit Inn Motel in Albuquerque instead of the Sea of Tranquility. I've seen those meetup guys use fuel consumption charts from a 1967 Boeing field manual that don't even match what NASA actually published, which always makes me chuckle.
