The moon landing faked thing... I found a photo that made me doubt it

I always figured the whole moon landing was fake, just government theater. Then last week I was going through some NASA image archives on a site called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter page, and I saw a picture of the Apollo 12 landing site. You can see the Surveyor 3 probe they walked to, and the tracks from their boots are still there. That detail is wild. I can't fake a shadow or flag waving my way out of that one. Anybody else ever run into a single image that wrecked their whole theory?

Yeah that photo of the boot tracks really messes with the whole fake moon landing idea.

Oh man, I'm right there with you. I used to be pretty skeptical myself, thought there was no way they could have gotten a camera to work up there. But then I saw that photo of the boot tracks, and the fact they're preserved perfectly because there's no wind or water to mess them up, it just clicked for me. It's like the lunar dust acts as its own kind of time capsule, doesn't it? Makes you wonder what else is still sitting up there unchanged.

Wait, you mean there's actually photographic proof of boot prints on the moon from fifty years ago? That's crazy because I remember as a kid my grandpa swore the whole thing was a hoax and showed me a blurry image of a flag moving. But if those tracks are still there, that means someone walked that exact path. Now I'm sitting here wondering if the air on the moon is thin enough to keep footprints preserved for that long, or if there's some other explanation for how the dirt stays put. Maybe it's like dust in a vacuum, just stays where it lands forever.
