There’s no doubt that the Saturn 5 rocket was an incredible feat of engineering that pushed the envelope of what mankind was technologically capable of achieving in the 1960’s. The lunar module, on the other hand, was pure science fiction.
There was a lot of pressure to put a man on the moon by the end of the 60’s, and the U.S. invested a tremendous amount of resources to achieve this end. But it just wasn’t possible with the technology of the day, so NASA decided if they couldn’t make it they were gonna fake it.
And you’re right, some of these guys talk shit about not having the technology to put a man on the moon, and out of the other side of their mouths they talk about how the gov possesses advanced alien technology, it’s kind of humorous.
