Sat through a flat earth debate last week and actually changed my mind on something

I was dead set that the government faked the moon landing, but then a guy showed me the math on how radio signals take 2.5 seconds to bounce back from the moon, and it just clicked that the tech was there in 1969. Has anyone else been swayed by hard numbers over gut feelings?

Oh man, that's exactly what happened to my friend Karen. She was convinced we never went back to the moon after the first time, thought it was all green screen nonsense. Then she watched this documentary that broke down the actual computer code from the Apollo missions, line by line. She texted me at like 2am going "they literally had to type in coordinates by hand, the hardware was that basic." She said seeing the cold hard data just flipped a switch in her brain, no big conspiracy needed.

Yeah dude SAME HERE, watching the Apollo guidance computer specs absolutely blew my mind.
