Spent 3 hours last night trying to convince my uncle the moon landing wasn't faked using NASA's own footage
He kept pointing to shadows going different directions in a single Apollo 15 photo, and it took showing him a 3D rendering of the terrain from a geology blog to finally get him to admit it might just be a lighting trick, anyone else have a family member who won't budge on this despite the evidence?

Black.pat is right, I just kept showing my cousin one NASA photo comparison each visit until he stopped bringing up the moon landing.

Started nodding so hard at my screen I looked like one of those bobblehead dolls, my own dad still thinks the earth is flat and sends me YouTube links as "proof".

@zaram97 my brother went through the same thing with my uncle about vaccines. What worked for him was asking to watch one of those videos together and then pulling up actual NASA footage side by side. He'd say stuff like "okay but look at this curve here" and let the comparison sit there without arguing. It didn't flip a switch overnight but eventually my uncle started questioning the YouTube stuff on his own. Little nudges over time seem to work better than trying to win one big argument. Have you tried something like that yet?
