Conspiracy Theory The Moon landing - 40 years on

You're trying to argue there was no peer review prior to the 20th century.

Are you legit telling me that Isaac Newtons July 5, 1687, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica was not peer reviewed (by other scientists testing his theories, and trying to falsify them, and writing papers about their critiques and results) till then?

It wasn't as detailed as we have in the last 100 years (principally because peer review became a lot easier with modernity, the printing press, internet, established universities, research labs and facilities and so forth in the modern world) but peer review was happening.

Again, I dont want to diss the early blokes like Aristotle and so forth who contributed to the development of the scientific method, but to class pre modernity/ pre peer reviewed theories like Geocentrism or Heliocentrism or Acupuncture or Astrology as 'science' isn't accurate.

Heck, even much of contemporary 21st century psychology isn't technically science (much of it is pseudoscience, lacking falsifiability, but with scientific trappings like empiricism and peer review).

You are being fixated on peer review and historic scientific methods. The point is that at different times there was a consensus of opinion on certain topics which was heavily influential - but sometimes that consensus was wrong.

Continental drift - Early 20th-century geologists thought continents were fixed.
Ulcers - For decades, doctors blamed stress, spicy foods, and lifestyle for stomach ulcers.
At one time people were told uranium toothpaste was good for them.
Smoking cigarettes was healthy.
The FDA and EU regulators approved Thalidomide for pregnant women.
Geocentrism - For centuries, most thinkers believed the Earth was the centre of the universe.

By going with this consensus approach rather than considering evidence you are a modern day flat earther.
 

It’s quite suspicious that a NASA aircraft that has been modified to drop vertical pods was tracked circling the landing site for some time at the same time as the Artemis 2 landed.

I saw someone point out that the temperature the spacecraft had to endure was like 2,800 degrees Celsius. That’s around 2 1/2 times hotter than volcanic molten lava. It also reached a speed in re-entry of over 11 Km per second, which is greater than Mach 32. These are serious feats.
