Pretty much the title. Here is my best find so far. Really funny thread.

You've mistaken "first hand" with "verified". What you're describing is "unverified first hand sources". Hardly matters, because third party sources DID verify it.

Despite the massive block of rambling, semi-relevant text, I can't help but notice that you didn't actually answer the question I asked you. What evidence would you need?

If so, they didn't do it in a way that could be considered conclusive. Someone else here tried to argue that the old equipment can be seen on the moon through the average person's telescopes, to which I responded that even agencies say this isn't true, but if it was, it would be a good example of something I'd take, supposing you really need me to mention specific examples. Generally, though, all it takes is to sound like more than authority-backed hearsay and appealing to the circumstantial.
