Showerthought: the moon landing hoax theory falls apart if you actually look at the radio data

I used to think the whole 'they faked it in a studio' thing had some merit, but then I dug into the Apollo 11 voice recordings and noticed the delays match exactly with the 1.3 second light-speed lag from Earth to the moon. That timing is impossible to fake with 1969 technology. Has anyone else checked the actual NASA transcripts against the video?

Wait, that's actually a really solid point about the radio delay - did you find any video that syncs up cleanly with the timing? I love when actual science just shuts down the wild theories like that.

My thumbs are too clumsy to sync anything that cleanly. Always ends up looking like a music video from the 80s.
