YOU HAVE NOT TECHNOLOGY, EVEN TODAY, TO BUILD A ROCKET THAT CAN LAND BACKWARDS ON ITS OWN FLAMES.

If you are unwilling to even try to understand the laws of physics, there is nothing further to be said.
“Where were the stars?” the myth believers then asked. The cameras that NASA sent to the moon had to use short-exposure times to take pictures of the bright lunar surface and the moonwalkers’ white spacesuits. Stars’ images, easily seen by the moonwalkers, were too faint and underexposed to be seen as they are in photographs taken from space shuttles and the International Space Station.

Here is one version the poster may be referring to. This one is from the edition of "MOONSHOT" published after Shepard's death I believe. Persumably there is a similar line from the first publication but i don't have a copy of that book, only the electronic version of the latter publication. If someone like Barbree just inserted this after Shepard died it might be all the more incriminating. Shepard "writes?",

How do you view the implications of your charge that vertical landings by way of rocket power was untenable given the available tools of the times? Assuming you're correct and vertical landings via rocketry were not doable in 1969....
Anyone who does enough research generally comes to the conclusion that they did NOT GO THE MOON.
It's impossible. Passing threw the van allen belt would be there death.
There's a few more reasons...
....How could they take pictures on the moon? The film wouldnt' survive those tempuratures.
....How would they take a poo in space. Back then they didn't have a space toilet made. (I'm dead serious)
....Passing the van allen belt they'd be bombarded by many many many different kinds of radiation coming from multiple sources.
....They say there computers were powerful enough. That's garbage. They did some tests and realized the kind of computers you'd need to facilitate such an endevor were not available at that time.
....They say they bounced light signals off the reflector they left there. That's a lie, the whole moon is a reflector, it's been tested.
....Why can't they zoom in on the area they landed at, the rover, the flag etc with the hubble or some other telescope?
....Why did they chop up the saturn five immediate after?
....Why didn't any other country ever go?
....Why aren't there any stars in the scenes they show in the videos?
....Why is the flag just stuck straight out. Why doesn't it move at all?
....Why when they jump they appear to jump up high in "slow motion". That's a lie. When they jump that's corrector but it shouldn't be in slow mo! That's bs.
Well anyway JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH. It's so far fetched. Basic low orbit space flight is extremely difficult "today". So how they claim they did that back then is just way out in left field. As far as the astronots go, here's what I heard. The reason they all claim they "went" is because they actually thought they did. They were in an MK ultra type project. They were hyponized and likely drugged up too. So they didn't know that what happened to them happened in either a hypnotic state or in a hollywood stage. By the time they returned out of it, they actually thought they went there. And that's why many of them are very disillusioned to this day. When you see them interviewed they seem almost confused. It's the elements of the project that trick them into believing they went. It's not that outrageous.

The poor video quality of the first moon landings was a deliberate ploy so nobody could properly examine it.
There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the film would melt in the 250° temperatures.
Every Apollo photograph appears to be perfectly composed, focused and exposed, despite the fact the astronauts used cameras without viewfinders and light meters.

The black sky should be full of stars, yet none are visible in any of the Apollo photographs

The astronauts should have seen a beautiful star-filled sky above them, yet they never mention it.
There are several photographs of objects that are in shadows, yet they appear lighted and with surprising detail. Objects located in shadows should appear totally black.
In many photographs the shadow side of the astronauts appear illuminated, while the shadow side of rocks appear totally black.
Shadows cast on the lunar surface should be parallel. Some shadows in the Apollo photos are not parallel indicating more than one light source, thus the photos are fakes.
