As long as the anti-science isn't actively harming people, like vaccine stuff, I think it's always better to engage in the discussions, because that's how learning happens. If someone doubted that particles and waves were the same, would you admonish them? Nah, you just explain the double slit experiment. You can often learn something from the discussion even if you already understand that it's anti-science nonsense. For example, debunking flat eartherism can teach you cool little trigonometric proofs.
There are literally reflectors on the moon left by the manned moon missions that are used to measure the distance of the moon using laser pulses. And the US and Soviets have both used them, so unless there was a global commie/capitalist conspiracy...
Please don't give in to anti-science nonsense like "the moon landings were faked." That's no different than believing COVID-19 is a Chinese bioweapon.
little a ironic anti-science
as a treat? 👉👈
As a treat :P

Some Russians think Brezhnev traded complicity in the moon landing for a gradual draw down of American troops in Vietnam, which Nixon began in 1969.
Would the Soviets trade a major propaganda victory to save tens of thousands of lives? I don't know.
The Soviets have also placed verifiable retroreflectors on the Moon.
acktszchtchyually, it would be analogous to believing that COVID-19 is a US bioweapon (which it is)
