The Moore’s Law Paradox:

Why the Moon Landing Couldn’t Have Happened

Let’s talk about one of the most sacred cows of the 20th century: the Apollo Moon Landings. We’re told it was humanity’s greatest achievement. But what if the very laws of technology we live by today prove it was an impossible feat?

I’m not talking about waving flags or weird shadows. I’m talking about cold, hard logic. I’m talking about Moore’s Law.

For the uninitiated, Moore’s Law is the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years, while the cost of computers is halved. In simple terms: technology gets exponentially more powerful and cheaper over time.

This isn’t a theory. It’s a documented, observable trend that has held true since the 1960s. It’s the reason the smartphone in your pocket is millions of times more powerful than the computer that guided the Apollo astronauts.

And that’s where the entire narrative collapses.

The Logic Test

Apply simple common sense:

1. The Claim: In 1969, with less computing power than a modern car key, NASA successfully landed humans on the Moon—a task of unimaginable complexity.

2. The Reality: Over 50 years later, with technology that has advanced at an exponential rate, we do not have this capability. NASA’s Artemis program is a multi-billion dollar, decade-long effort to try and figure out how to do it again.

Does this make any sense? Of course not.

If the Moon landing was real, then repeating it today should be trivial. It should be a routine mission for college engineering students. The exponential growth of technology doesn’t just make things a little better; it makes previously impossible tasks easy.

Think about it. We went from the Wright Brothers’ first flight to jet airliners in 50 years. That’s progress. But with the Moon? We allegedly went from nothing to a landing in 9 years, and then we just… stopped? For five decades?

The Official “Explanations” Don’t Add Up

The defenders of the official story have their excuses, of course:

• “The political will faded.” Since when does political will erase scientific knowledge? We didn’t forget how to build a Saturn V rocket; we allegedly “lost” the blueprints and the specialized manufacturing knowledge. Does anyone really believe we’d forget how to build the crowning achievement of our species?

• “It’s too expensive.” This is the most laughable excuse. Technology following Moore’s Law gets cheaper. A calculation that cost millions in the 1960s costs pennies today. If the core technology was real, the cost should have plummeted, not skyrocketed.

• “We’re building something better and sustainable.” This is just moving the goalposts. Before you build a sustainable moon base, you first prove you can land there. We can’t even do step one anymore.

The Only Conclusion That Fits the Facts

When you follow the evidence of Moore’s Law to its logical conclusion, only one thing makes sense:

The 1969 Moon Landing was a technological impossibility for its time.

The computing power required to safely guide a spacecraft to another celestial body, land it, and return it home simply did not exist. The entire mission would have required a level of precision and real-time calculation that was beyond the era’s primitive, room-sized computers.

The mission wasn’t just difficult; it was impossible. Therefore, it had to be faked.

The “achievement” was a brilliant piece of Cold War theater, a necessary propaganda victory to show American superiority. They used the technology they did have—early television and special effects—to create the illusion, broadcast to the world on tiny, fuzzy screens that hid the imperfections.

Moore’s Law exposes the truth. It shows us that our technological progress has been real and measurable. The Apollo story, however, has not stood the test of that same progress. It’s a ghost story from the past that our modern world can no longer logically support.

The math doesn’t lie. If we can’t do it now with our god-like technology, they couldn’t have done it then with a calculator. It’s time we accepted the obvious.

Belle isn’t just a bad dog—she’s a legend. After busting out of the Barkwood Asylum for Canine Anarchists (framed for ‘excessive tail wagging’ and ‘unauthorized snack theft’), this four-legged fugitive goes on the run, battling sinister nurses, leaping off rooftops, and embracing her destiny as the world’s most chaotic escape artist. Her only goal? Get back to her equally disgraced master, Hobo Hogan, a washed-up wrestler living in a duct-taped…
