Finally got my brother to see the moon landing footage differently

He always said the flag moving was proof it was fake, but I showed him a video from a university physics department explaining the lack of air resistance. Now he admits the 'proof' he used for 20 years was weak. Anyone have a good resource for debunking the 'vanishing stars' claim next?

What about the stars, my cousin fell for that one?

It's wild how many people get pulled into those star sign things. My friend's sister started making all her choices based on horoscopes last year. It seems harmless at first but then it really shapes how they see everything. Makes you wonder why we look for patterns in random stuff like that. Just a weird human habit I guess.

Actually, the star thing is pretty easy to explain. The cameras were set for bright daylight on the lunar surface, so the dim stars just didn't show up. It's like trying to see a candle next to a spotlight. There's tons of photos from the ISS that show the same effect.
