I finally stopped believing the moon landing was faked after visiting the Air and Space Museum in DC last summer

I used to be one of those people who thought the whole Apollo thing was a soundstage job, you know? The whole flag waving thing, no stars, all that. But then I went to the Udvar-Hazy Center (the big one out by Dulles) and saw the actual Saturn V rocket hanging from the ceiling. It's just so massive, like 363 feet long. I stood under it for like 20 minutes. No way you fake that level of hardware just for a TV show in 1969. Plus they let you touch a piece of moon rock. That kind of changed my mind. Has anyone else had a moment where seeing something in person totally killed a conspiracy theory for you?

Yeah touching that moon rock gets you.

Friend of mine touched one at Kennedy Space Center and swore his hand tingled for hours. I think it was the power of suggestion but he still brings it up every time the moon is full.

Wait, they actually LET you TOUCH it? Like they just have moon rock sitting out for anyone to grab? I had no idea. That's wild.
