The time I was dead wrong about the moon landing being fake

I used to think the whole thing was staged, like a lot of people do. Then I actually looked at the laser ranging reflectors left on the surface. You can bounce a laser off them from observatories like the one in Apache Point, New Mexico. The data lines up perfectly with the Apollo landing sites, no way that's a hoax. Has anyone else changed their mind after digging into a specific piece of evidence?

Yeah the laser reflector thing is what got me too, it's solid proof you can't fake.

Wait, does that mean if I ever lose my keys on the moon, I can just check the reflector and find them? Honestly, that'd be a huge timesaver for me since I'm always misplacing stuff. But yeah, the laser thing is wild - those Apollo missions left actual mirrors up there that scientists still bounce lasers off of to measure the distance. Ngl, it's way cooler than anything I've built in my garage, which is probably why NASA didn't hire me.
