It would be interesting to learn what the "moonlanding never happened" crowd has to say. Must be some next-level brain exercise to keep the story going. 😄

I'm not doubting it's real. (It's pretty obvious with the reflections on the solar panels.) But, the lighting looks weird on the Moon, like it has this painting quality to it.

It's a combination of two major factors: The camera is pretty low-resolution, both in its ability to take video, and pixel density, and because there's no atmosphere to give us the "blur" and color filtration we're so used to seeing around objects.

Technically, they made it first if you count lithobraking as a valid landing technique.
