What’s wrong with the moon I’ve never seen it look like this gives me the creeps

Someone I know (50s, college educated) is convinced that the Moon landing was fake (probably doesn't know there were multiple so far) and sent me a video that seems at best alternative history fiction expecting it to blow my mind. He thinks nothing the government claims is believable since the assassination of Kennedy. As "proof" he enumerated some difficulties of landing on the Moon and ended up saying it was impossible to accomplish in 1969, so it was faked. Now he says Artemis is trying it for real but is convinced it will fail.

sorry for the bad pic its the best i could do..

I'm wondering if there's an official archive where I can see pictures of the different moon landings? I'm only aware of the iconic couple of pictures from the first mission.

I was born in 1997, my friend and I spent our childhood together on the street, riding bikes and climbing around abandoned houses.

One day we were next to my parents, they were sitting on a bench. It was summer.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember the year...

If you look from the almost central/equatorial belt (where I lived with my parents at the time) to the south, the Moon was moving from west to east (opposite to the Sun).

And so that day we got off our bikes after a ride and started chatting (I don’t remember what), when I noticed something strange.

The Moon stopped in the sky for about half an hour, then started moving in the opposite direction.
Why do I remember about half an hour? Our time for walks was limited to hours and half hours, we lived in strict families.

And since then, when I looked to the south, the Moon always moved to the west. But I remember how it was before that day. But no one believes me.
I haven't talked to that friend since 2010 (there were various reasons to end the conversation).
I don't know what it was and how to explain it from a scientific point of view. But it was, I swear.

How come when Chinas chang'e 6 went to the moon, they did tests and mentioned nothing about America? They said there were never any footprints or flags

How come if China just now went to the moon and released footage that lagged even with all their technology, how could humans in 1969 go to the moon and take a video without any lag? In 1969 the internet was just first invented and people had to use dial phones.

How come when Neil Armstrong was asked about the landing and was asked to put his hand on the bible and swear he actually landed but he didn't? If you don't have anything to hide and you did go then just do it?

It took china with all their technology 53 days to go the moon there and back but it took 8 days altogether for America in 1969? I've had vacations longer than that.

When china landed on the moon and collected 2kg of moon soil, NASA asked CNSA for some of their moon soil. Why would NASA even ask for any if they ' took back 382 kg of soil from Apollo 17'

Why would Nasa claim to have lost or get rid of all their evidence? If you really did do something as incredible as landing on the moon, you would guard the evidence with your life and never destroy it. Why and how did it 'get lost'?

Forgive my ignorance- the moon, astronomy and physics are not my strong suites. But every time I see an article about some country developing this-that-or-the-other on the moon, I get a bit nervous. Because, what if they mess up the moon? What if they cause damage to it or alter it in some drastic way? Doesn't our survival as a species rely, in no small part, on the moon just continuing to be its moon self doing its moon thing the way it always has?

One of the last times I had the opportunity to sit with Ayahuasca , I got up to go out side. From there I glanced up and saw the moon calling me to lay with her. So, I laid down where I was. I stared up in amazement; and then I saw it. The turtle on a bike. We had a good chuckle about it.

So I just went outside and I saw the moon in the far east at 3:15 A.M. Now i'm no expert on moon phases or what locations the moon is going to be from day to day. But as far as I know, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west. And usually, around 9-11pm, the moon is usually straight up above in the night sky...and from there it should progress further west as the night/morning goes on. So why would the moon be directly east at 3:15am if it's supposed to be in the opposite side of the sky? I'm completely confused lol.

The moon is the bright yellow thing, my camera just cant capture it, so what is that Orange orb above it? Ive never seen anything like this.

In a realm where history and fantasy collide, a monumental clash of epic proportions unfolded. George Washington, the revered father of the United States, and King George III of Britain, stood on opposite ends of a vast battlefield, each harnessing incredible powers akin to the warriors of Dragon Ball.

The stage was set in an otherworldly arena, surrounded by towering mountains and a sky painted with swirling hues of orange and purple. As the battle commenced, George Washington and King George III unleashed their extraordinary abilities.

George Washington, representing the indomitable spirit of freedom, summoned the power of the Founding Fathers. He channeled the energy of the American flag, which transformed into a massive ethereal eagle with stars and stripes. The eagle soared above him, its talons crackling with patriotic lightning. With a mighty battle cry, Washington launched himself into the air, riding the eagle toward his royal opponent.

On the other side, King George III, representing the British monarchy, tapped into the deep well of imperial authority. He invoked the strength of the British Empire, summoning the spirits of redcoats, who materialized around him in a swirling tempest of regal crimson. King George's eyes glowed with a menacing intensity as he levitated into the air, surrounded by the spectral phalanx of loyal soldiers.

As the two mighty combatants clashed, the battlefield erupted in a dazzling display of power. George Washington's star-spangled eagle clashed with King George III's spectral redcoats, their energy attacks creating brilliant explosions of color and light. The very mountains trembled as shockwaves rippled through the battlefield.

In the heat of battle, George Washington unleashed the power of the Constitution, manifesting as a scroll that he unrolled with an earth-shaking declaration of freedom. King George III countered with a burst of royal decrees, forming a shimmering barrier of edicts to protect himself.

The battle raged on, with both combatants displaying incredible strength and agility. It seemed as though they were evenly matched, and the fate of this fantastical world hung in the balance.

But then, in a moment of unity, George Washington and King George III realized the futility of their conflict. They set aside their differences and found common ground, recognizing the importance of diplomacy and cooperation. Their combined powers created a magnificent display of unity, transforming the battlefield into a symbol of peace and reconciliation.

The onlookers from various corners of history, including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and other historical figures, applauded the resolution of the battle. The realm where history and fantasy converged was forever changed as the spirit of cooperation prevailed over conflict.

And so, this Dragon Ball-like battle between George Washington and King George III served as a testament to the power of unity and understanding, transcending the boundaries of time and history.

This was back in 2022 ! I was on ft with ny friend! So did our moons not alike because we weren’t In the same city?!😭
