So you are with us? I believe that, while the moon appears to be as big as the sun, it is not. It is in fact much smaller and closer to earth. And it doesn't shine on its own but only reflects the light of the sun.

NASA wants to cover this up by fabricating an obviously fake moon landing so people think "if the moon landing isn't real, the moon has to be much further away" but they can't hide the truth forever

i'm with you in the first part, but thee second part proves the first part, rather than covers it up.

No, bear with me here: the fake is so obvious that everyone knows it's a fake. But why would they fake it if the moon is close enough to reach it? Because it isn't! That's what they want us to believe. It's a psyop.

I even believe (and that's the outlandish part of my theory I don't usually share), that the moon landing in fact was real (remember, the moon is closer than the sun) but just made to look fake. That way, they can present proof (real proof, remember, I think it was real) and the public is busy debunking that by showing that the moon is far away and thereby cementing the actually intended narrative.
