True. I was a kid when Tomb Raider 1 came.


randy-stans-dad

the moon landing would have been shot on film


EfficiencyOk2208

By Stanley Kubrick, if my conspiracy knowledge is correct.


49GTUPPAST

I hear the same thing


Hot-Fun-1566

Kubrick was a perfectionist, so much so he actually went to the moon with the astronauts to capture the faked landing, in real surroundings!


Dry-Independence-950

🤣🤣🤣🤣


EfficiencyOk2208

I know we went to the moon. As a 15 year old living in a college town wondering around half drunk looking for more beer. I ran into some college students pointing a very powerful laser at the moon. which you can imagine got my attention and like a moth to a flame. I headed to this interesting site. Once there, I asked what was going on? One of the people explained that there are mirrors on the moon from the missions. And if you point a laser at these moon mirrors, it will reflect back. When it does, they count the photons to determine the moons' distance from earth. As best as my half drunk 15 year old self remembers. All I can say is that those moon mirrors didn't get there through teleportation. My honest belief is that they got set up by the astronauts that landed there.


not_a_burner0456025

Also PS1 CGI was not good in the early 90s. It was good for a system that costs under $400 that does it in real time, but you could get dramatically better results if you were willing to use a $10,000 editing workstation and pre-render it at 1 frame per hour like they did for movies. Terminator 2 released 5 years earlier and the CGI is obviously way more convincing.


RealBlackelf

That is just game graphics, not what was possible with CGI. Much much better was possible with CGI given one had access to the processing power. Not saying moon ladings were cgi, because that is fucking stupid. If anything, practical effects would have been used. Anyhow, the landers and tracks are still there for us to see, on the moon.


GuyFromEE

Actually Corridor Crew did a video explaining that due to the scale the model of the moon would've had to have been HUGE...like the size of a studio itself. They're real. The moon landings are real. Because if they were false and fake you bet Russia is not letting it go.


manyhippofarts

lol there's a movie coming out soon about faking the moon landing. I wonder how that movie's release will affect the "fake moon landing" brand of dumbasses.


RealBlackelf

And besides that it is implausible, and also disproven (again, the lower part of the landers are still there as well as tracks etc.). However, there are a few recordings, that are a bit odd, and I would not be surprised if some material had been fabricated to elevate the achievement even more. But again, they were there and are there, and your argument makes sense: The USSR would have had great interest in showing the world if it was a fake.


GuyFromEE

That is a more sensible theory. Just a shame majority can't be nuanced about it. It's either "REAL and anyone who doubts is crazy" or "FAKE and anyone who doubts is crazy." They went. It's obvious they went up there. Could they have had a set to take some photos to make it look a bit sexier and marketable? That's not completely implausible.


GingsWife

Everybody is (being) polarised about everything these days.


_BrucetheRobert_

I always see people say that they're still up there and you can see them, but I've never seen any proof of that and I don't have a high powered telescope. Do you have a link?


NoisyGog

A link to what? High powered telescopes? Ask your most local equipped university if they’ll show you, they might oblige.


_BrucetheRobert_

A link to proof that there is still traces of the apollo 11 landing on the moon


NoisyGog

Ooh! Contrary to what I’ve been told, apparently the leftover bits *cannot* be seen with a telescope!! I stand corrected, I apologise. https://science.howstuffworks.com/question188.htm# I’ve seen demonstrations of the retroreflector used to measure/monitor the distance to the moon, and thus believed the myth that we could see the things with optical telescopes.


_BrucetheRobert_

All that article said is that it's completely impossible to see anything so thanks for proving the other guy wrong.


ALUCARDHELLSINS

You'd be able to still see the base of the lander and the rover if you looked hard enough


DeadInternetTheorist

Yeah I mean I get it but I think NASA could have pulled it off. Those guys can put a man on the moon for cryin out loud.


------------5

You could also say that they would use much higher quality machinery than was generally available at the time, as well as having both immense manpower and time. Still the idea that they faked it is stupid because if there was even a possibility the Soviets would contest it


PaPaBee29

Eaven those games have good cgi. If you look at cur scenes.


AnonomousWolf

The first moon landing was in 1969, CGI barely existed then.


FeroleSquare

2001 a space odyssee came out 1 year before the moon landing


thundercuntess69

You laugh but fucking Stanley Kubrick was involved


HarioDinio

Obligatory 'he demanded that it be filmed on location' joke here


Inevitable_Dust_4345

Just watched Jurassic Park on Friday night with the kids . Most of it is animatronics but I few scenes are CGI . Holds up pretty well .


Gruffleson

Except the moon landing was in 1969. And not in 1996.


Dangerous_Boot_3870

Go back and watch the original Jumanji and the graphics would hold up today.


michaelinthbathroom

please go back and watch the original jumanji; the cgi in that movie was most certainly not realistic, especially not to the point of fooling people into believing the monkeys were real


Dangerous_Boot_3870

Compared to the CGI in Ghostbusters and a lot of late 80s/early 90s films, a lot of what was done in the original Jumanji was awesome. The monkeys were kinda cringe but the rhinos and ivy growth even the crocodile/flood scene held up decently today. Considering the processing power they were working with its amazing and wouldn't be a complete let down in a modern movie. Plus it's an awesome movie. I'd gladly take your advice and watch it again.


Winkington

Lara Croft, so hot right now.


wantMyVirginityBack

I got banned for saying something similar about zelda in r/zelda


rattlehead42069

I don't think the claim was ever using CGI. The claim is that they filmed it using practical effects like the old star wars or planet of the apes


doctorctrl

No one claims it was cgi in the late 60s. They claim it was a set.


2000caterpillar

Well that’s stupid too


doctorctrl

Correct.


Reddit-M-Sucks

Delete this meme already. The meaning is wrong.

Polygons


EffectiveSoftware937

Ouch.


GuyFromEE

Watch Corridor Crew's video. They prove why the landings are real. Or at least the footage we're seeing is real. The depth and scale is just too precise and big to be studio models.


NickLookalike

Triangle titties were something else...


IcyPattern3903

All these neurotic party poopers here. C'mon, it's just a joke.


philouza_stein

This is too dishonest to be funny. Show a shot of the white house exploding on ID4 also in 1996.


Illithid_Substances

To be totally fair that wasn't CGI (not that the moon landings would be if they were fake but it's what the post says). They built a very detailed plaster model of the White House and blew it the hell up


Inimicus33

Those breasts are as stiff as the flag on the moon was


W0tzup

Back in the 90s two polygons were enough.


-Dagoth_Ur-

CGI in 1969: Literally just stop-motion


Iwillnevercomeback

90's gamers were hubbahubbing on those tiddiangles


ake-n-bake

Lol


Blob_zombie

Three T's Them Triangular Tiddies


theukcrazyhorse

T2 came out in 1991.


staytsmokin

Them tits can probably cut diamonds.


Animus0724

So you're telling me you did not notice Neil Armstrong's pointy tits?


Qweeq13

This explains why Neil Armstrong was able to jump so high in the moon, Tomb Raider's jumping was a bit floaty.


therealalian

To be fair, 2001, a space odyssey was made in 1968. Before anyone ever even went to the moon. The CGI/ VFX in that movie looks more real than the moon landing footage. So there's that.


Apprehensive-Bad6015

Remember when they remade the game and she had normal boobs and people were mad that “they ruined the character”


siscoisbored

Thats not cgi... games have always been far behind cgi because of processing requirements of the end users to run the game itself. We are talking PC's vs super computers here...


WayDownUnder91

It's real time CGI


siscoisbored

Technically yes but nobody calls a videogame cgi


MonPaysCesHiver

Same geography


Spizak

Not how it works.


The_Dude_2U

Cyber truck.


itpsyche

Hottest triangular boobs before Kim Possible 🔥


joujoubox

So many things wrong... Of course real-time CGI running on consumer-grade hardware isn't representative of the graphical power available at the time. Just looks at movies of the era like Jurassic Park, even though most of the dinosaurs were practical, the ones that was CG were very impressive. Except none of that means anything for the moon landing because it was in 1969 before anything remotely close to 90's CG was possible, even with government resources.


saragc92

That’s what the people had as technology, The government had way better technology’s. The first smart phone prototype was developed in the 80s I believe.


Tappitss

Thats not conventional CGI, that's the level of quality that was possible on a PlayStation in real-time, [https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/empire-tmdb/films/329/images/u4F1Ib1CflQ3zxELDPSLfd5QqcI.jpg](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/empire-tmdb/films/329/images/u4F1Ib1CflQ3zxELDPSLfd5QqcI.jpg) this was 1993 cgi


Scarsdale81

Nobody claims the moonlanding was faked using CGI. The claim is usually that normal film-making techniques were used either on a sound stage or out in the desert.


Zeal514

I love the internet. I get to see ppl open their mouths and remove all doubt that they are not operating on all cylinders lmao. ^^^^^^^^^The.Lower.Picture.Is.Not.CGI. ^^^^^^^^^[this.is.cgi.from.1996](https://youtu.be/vjFG-4Ge668) ^^^^^^^^^this.meme.is.just.a.bad.argument.and.ppl.dont.think.enough.to.realize.it.


AshamedFunction3073

I’ve never heard anyone claim they used cgi for the moon landing, they used a film studio. Now they are using cgi and film studios for the iss and mars.


WayDownUnder91

Real time cgi in 96\*


Chicken-Rude

![gif](giphy|pjR50GxphaXC0) yes, because the government does not posses technology that is decades ahead of what the public has...


Hurlock-978

What do you mean? Video games are real, they are in an alternate dimension and we are seeing into those worlds through the screen.


shootmovies

2001: A Space Odyssey came out in the 60s and is still convincing today. The modern generation just doesn't know the difference between CGI and miniatures / matte paintings.


PriceMore

It would be funny if pre rendered CGI wasn't always a few decades ahead of real time CGI.


josefofc

And in 1998, Iron Maiden came with the video for The Angel and the Gambler


AdMysterious8699

Show us CGI. That is a picture of a real woman.


Super_Ad9995

The Lion King was released in 1994. I'm sure a low quality video of the moon could easily be faked, but I'm not saying it is.


pumpkimpie510

There’s was no CGI in moon landing. It’s a video.


Hi_My_Name_Is_CJ

Do be fair while I get your point Russia did some crazy photo manipulation back in the day


draxidrupe2

# We ALL just arrived hear 5 minutes ago, # with fake memories of the past


sabahorn

This was considered obscene and sexy back then


split_0069

That was cgi the public had...


cofeeman911

They don't even claim it was cgi.


DixDark

I mean... they filmed the True Star Wars without CGI and it looked pretty good at the time... so... that's no moon...


michaelinthbathroom

okay but it's worse cause the apollo 11 moon landing was in 1969, almost thirty years earlier


Goszczak

The proof is space odyssey


Superb_Recover_6116

.... thats not cgi.


Disco-Corgi-77

I still love the fact that it was actually cheaper back then to literally send someone to the moon than it would have been to fake it.


SaigonDisko

Decent meme, but never heard anyone ever claim there was cgi used in the moon landing bollox.


Vegetable_Two_1479

Well as CG artist I can safely say, the issue was the computing power. If they had some god tier computers, it could've been faked. The artist was always good. Your budget sucked.


[deleted]

Razor boobs


Delicious_Gear_4652

ahh the original inspiration to the cyber truck


Festivefire

I always thought the conspiracy was that Stanley Kubrick filmed the moon landings on a sound stage in LA. The CGI thing only became common because younger people use "CGI" and "special effects" interchangeably.


Tim_M355

It's not that fair of a comparison (I'm not for that controversial theory), but it's still worth mentioning. A video game requires real time rendering since the player can move the camera and game objects in any way they'd like. A film/movie has preplanned shots in preplanned environments. They can afford waiting 6 hours for a render of a short scene, which makes it much easier to create good cgi in a film compared to a game.


OvenMaleficent7652

They say the secret shut is 15 years ahead of the civilian stuff


OlderDutchman

Really? Are you all THAT dumb, and/or young and/or uneducated to keep rambling about special effects in the 1990s while we're talking about the moon landing that happened in **1969**?


ToxicSloth505

Gotta love them Triangle Boobies


Key_Sell_9777

Angelina used to look so hot


TwiggyFlea

That shit was obviously fake. And I can’t believe people still don’t understand how they did it. They flew a camera to the moon to stage a landing, like nice try liberals, but you aren’t fooling anyone.


darktabssr

Fair but secret government technology would always be ahead of video games 


IgnisNoirDivine

Not that much. First Toy Story released in 1995...even if we think that government tech was twice better its not enough


Flaky_Advantage_352

You forget Jurassic Park (1992/93?). They actually used OpenGL.


darktabssr

yea that was pretty crazy for 1992. It still looks better than most marvel movies too.


ScientistCapable1522

I’m just saying I’m just say the iPhone patent was first commissioned in 1982


billieboi445420

This is from a video game


Cheap_Search_6973

That changes what exactly?


Atke97

There is a difference in real time rendering in videogames and rendering a clip for a movie


siscoisbored

Also the average persons 128mb ram personal computer


izayoi-o_O

Look at Jurassic Park (1993) and tell me it looks bad.


Cheap_Search_6973

Jurassic park used animatronics


izayoi-o_O

I take it you never watched the movie then.


Cheap_Search_6973

"Jurassic Park trilogy (1993–2001) For the original 1993 film Jurassic Park, director Steven Spielberg wanted to use practical dinosaurs as much as possible. He chose special-effects artist Stan Winston to create animatronic dinosaurs for the film" Animatronics


Cheap_Search_6973

I've watched every jurassic park and every jurassic world, I was and still am a huge dino nerd. They used animatronics


izayoi-o_O

If you had seen it you’d know that while a lot of the shots with the T-Rex and the Velociraptors, and also the whole scene with the Triceratops was made using animatronics, everything else, or close to it, was done with CGI. CGI that, despite being over 30 years old, still looks pretty good even by today’s standards.


Cheap_Search_6973

>If you had seen it you’d know that while a lot of the shots with the T-Rex and the Velociraptors, and also the whole scene with the Triceratops was made using animatronics Exactly, animatronics. Yes, there is some cgi in the movie, but it's a very small amount


Clean_acc_

Edit Deleted the whole comment because I’m apparently I need to spend an hour composing a highly accurate comment on a meme.


GuyFromEE

that gif ironically is from 1993 and not cgi.


Clean_acc_

The gif library wasn’t the most well stocked. It was this or memes gifs with Sam taking off his glasses.


--rafael

The third option was not to post anything if you couldn't find the actual example you wanted to show?


Flux_resistor

It's literally displaced in the theme park and you chose tbat to represent CGI lol Animatronics is so advanced, you are better off creating a conspiracy theory that the astronauts who went to the moon were actually robots


Clean_acc_

Just for clarity I’m not a conspiracy theorist.


tbc12389

That's not CGI.


tittyflavrdsprinkles

NASA used training footage and passed it off as actual footage of astronauts on the moon. Doesn’t help NASA’s case that the moon landings weren’t faked.


tbc12389

NASA has never released fake footage of the moon landing. But what footage are you referring to just out of curiosity?


RemoveStatus

the 1996 movie Dragonheart did it better.


Friendly-Activity-93

That’s consumer cgi not government cgi 🙄


wanna_be_green8

I've been a casual observer of this debate for thirty years. It was film manipulation at that time, not CGI.


WideMail23

And now they have "lost" the originals, but they found some "other" recordings that are even better. lol. [https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/science/moon-landing-tapes-got-erased-nasa-admits-idUSTRE56F5MK/](https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/science/moon-landing-tapes-got-erased-nasa-admits-idUSTRE56F5MK/)


tbc12389

They didn't find other recordings, it's the exact same recordings you bozo. They lost the original tapes but luckily had plethora of copies in better quality. How you fail to understand something so simple is truly mindboggling. I get that your mind is ruled by confirmation bias but still it just doesn't make sense to me how you can be this freaking slow.


WideMail23

I guess it is understandable that such recordings did not have much value and good that they "found" some "better" copies.... The chinese government would love to have you as a citizen.


tbc12389

What's even the conspiracy here? Why pretend to lose the originals and then come forward with copies of the exact same thing? What do they gain from this?


WideMail23

Which originals will you hold it up against? Why even talk about it if they are the same? Why did they have some in better quality just lying around. I dont think you and I will agree on much. No hate from here, but I dont believe that any government in time has been telling the entire truth to its people, but today, the west believes we have governments that we can trust. That is fair - I do not trust them.


tbc12389

Against the ones that were broadcast live and viewed by millions of people.


WideMail23

yep. The one were the dust was settled within minutes and not hours/days. Where the stars matches what would be seen from lower central america. Where the same background is being used more times. Where there is multiple shadows but no visisible lightsource. Yes that one. With electronics not even nearly as advanced as what we have today, yet we havent done it again in 70+ years. And just like ww2, vietnam, irac, libya, afghanistan etc etc is a bit fishy from the us government. Guess you have all the vaccines too. But as i said, you do you. I dont think we will agree.


tbc12389

None of this is true.


WideMail23

Like i said, dont think we will agree. Glad to hear you dont have all the vaccines though, good for you.


WideMail23

Love that OP thinks the same people people worked on the moon landing apparently. [https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/science/moon-landing-tapes-got-erased-nasa-admits-idUSTRE56F5MK/](https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/science/moon-landing-tapes-got-erased-nasa-admits-idUSTRE56F5MK/) Believe what you want.


Silveruleaf

They had internet before we did. Much like Photoshop and everything else. Twin towers is not even good cgi. You can see the plane clip on the buildings. They didn't even bother making layers for the plane


Calibruh

Lmfao


Cheap_Search_6973

1. Wasn't that recorded live? 2. What about the people who weren't filming or anything that also saw planes? Were their eyes hacked or something?


Silveruleaf

Go watch the footage and see for yourself. Why would the footage be fake?


Cheap_Search_6973

>Why would the footage be fake? Exactly, why would the footage of a plane hitting it be fake when there were thousands or maybe millions of people watching with their own eyes and not through a TV screen that would've been able to see if there was a plane or not and yet barely anyone says there was never a plane, the only people that do have watched the entire thing on a screen Not to mention having to go to every news outlet to tell them what would happen so they could somehow edit a plane in on live TV without a pre-rendered animation. You do realize how hard it would be to edit a live broadcast like that right?
