I was looking at pictures of Mars' surface from Curiosity with my uncle who is a lunar landing and science denier. He said, "That could be taken at any desert on Earth." I was like NO SHIT! You mean to tell me that other planets have rocks too?!?! No fucking way! What do you expect it to look like?

You and your 6th grade reading level somehow outsmarted two generations of NASA scientists and their massive coverup and lies about space exploration? No, you fucking dunce.

I hope he's not watching David Weiss' content. He keeps showing an image that was taken on earth, modified to look like Mars, and then claims it's directly from NASA's website.

Whenever he's asked for the direct source he says he'll send it over, but never does.

Tell him if they faked it. Russia would not waste a moment to point that out.

They congratulated us. If we faked it, Russia would have faked it first.
