Why does nobody talk about the choice between debunking the moon landing or flat earth first with new people?
I picked starting with the moon landing because the sheer volume of physical evidence, like the 842 pounds of rocks, makes it a quicker win to show how conspiracies fall apart under basic scrutiny, and it worked to get my cousin to at least question his other beliefs after about an hour of talking.

That Apollo 11 flag waving in a vacuum is my go-to opener for this exact reason.

Saw a thing about the wire inside it.

@henry_hernandez what kind of wire though? like was it a stiff support wire sewn into the flag's edge to keep it extended, or something else entirely? i've heard some flags on the moon had rods, but i always thought the waving thing was just people not getting how fabric moves in low gravity. what did the thing say exactly?
