I agree but it has nothing to do with this topic.
Your insulting of Christians and dismissing evidence of the moon landings as "fake" because you don't understand it, has everything to do with the topic of the moon landings.

What our eyes see makes it impossible for the moon & the stars to be at their claimed distances.
Nonsense.
I can go to various parts of Chester and see North Wales. It looks as though its only a few minutes away; it would take a couple of hours to get there. On a map, Scotland doesn't look too far away from London; it takes hours to drive there and would be quicker by plane. France doesn't look too far away from Britain, but the channel is 22 miles.

As I've said before, you are dismissing facts and relying on what your senses tell you. "The stars don't look that far away, so they can't be". St Paul says that we, as Christians, live by faith and not by sight.
Yes, he is talking about the Gospel, faith in Jesus who we can't see and so on. But the same is true of other things too.
Can you see electricity? No. But you wouldn't say that it isn't there. Can you see the wind? No, but you can certainly feel, and see, the effects of it.
You would rather trust your senses - which can be deceived, go and look up "optical illusions" - rather than proven, tested scientific facts. If you don't trust others, of course you only have yourself to rely on.

I think the stars & the moon are a bit further away than North Wales, wouldn't you say ?

Remind me of this when I'm standing next to a cliff edge.

Emotions & feeling have nothing to do with this topic, it you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

You're missing the point - either deliberately, or otherwise.
The point is that just because something looks as though it's close by, it doesn't mean that it is.
Remind me of this when I'm standing next to a cliff edge.
Another ridiculous statement.

Well stay out of the topic, then.

You can't prove the moon landings didn't happen and your response to them is ridicule and mocking - both of these are emotions. When someone posts something that you doubt or don't understand, you respond with a laughing, ^_^or a confused, :scratch:emoji. Emojis are for expressing emotions.
When you decided that you had been foolish to believe a Christian testimony and wanted to believe in a flat earth again, you responded by saying "yaaay :clap:" This is an emotion.

If emotions are off the table, you need to provide solid, scientific, testable evidence that the moon landings did not happen.

Complete misapplication of the inverse square law.

A1 say's otherwise .....

Your linked video is entitled "AI Proves Stars and Planets Must Be Closer and Smaller." Strange - I thought I had read you saying several times that you don't believe in planets.

I don't, they are wandering stars, but it doesn't stop us viewing them.

Well, the makers of the video you linked to clearly don't share your non-belief in the planets.

Inverse square law is for point sources. The moon is not a "point" of light. Neither are the stars for that matter, although they may seem that way given the vast distances. As I said before, it is a complete misapplication of the inverse square law.

And in any case, AI does not "prove" anything.

Planets, of course, are real. You can see them with a backyard telescope.

Yes I know this, but what are they ?
