(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)
The problem with moon landings isn't that they can't be done, it's that they are dangerous as shit, with little reward. You'd get a better deal out of being sent to a remote desert island.
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD
However, for its time TOS effects were often really good. People expected the typical B-movie styles but got believable visuals.

Are you kidding me? Lemmy is way too contentious to encourage me to do that - I am leaving posting to the professionals like you!
I believe in you. If you fill yourself with determination, you too can use comedy to challenge people and also complain about those people canceling you loudly on NBC.
Hypothetically speaking... how much money would I be able to make doing this? 😇
But to be clear I mostly was joking about being a coward, not so much "cancelled".
More to the point, Lemmy is about Linux and... uh... GNU+Linux, and I for one don't need to be submitting posts that are not of interest to others. A skill which I seem to very much lack, most of the time:-).
Probably a few bucks. Could get a nice shirt.
Linux and... uh... GNU+Linux
Yeah, there are a lot of those people xD
I am one of those people. Halfway at least. But I also have other interests too, whereas our communities not so much, e.g. !videos@lemmy.world.
TNG came out in 1987. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.
On the other hand, do you know one of the companies that supposedly made the Saturn-V?
Boeing.
So what? SEGA made the first Saturn, and they're still... around... uh
At least their build quality was generally good back then. I wouldn't trust them to build a Saturn V today.
Arguably their quality contributed to them being allowed to effictively oversee themselves. Did it save some time and red tape at the time? Yes. Did it eventually lead to hundreds of deaths? Also yes.
I saw a rebuttal that said the special effects at the time couldn't have faked it.
It looks fine on a CRT at 480i
You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.
I dick? Isn’t that Kirk and Rikers philosophy.
"Number 1, you do the dicking. I'm tired and haven't had my Earl Grey yet"- Jean-Luc probably
Yeah, but think about what the GOVERNMENT could afford! They were SUPER rich back then!
They hired Kubrik to fake the moon landing and he insisted on shooting on location.
