I would like feedback on my you tube videos "math challenges the moon landings", pt.1 and pt.2. I have used triangulation and stellar parallax to show the moon is under 4000 miles(6436km).


You will fit in well here among those who force themselves to believe the moon rotates 360° as it orbits the Earth. These schoolboys have no idea whatsoever that the original proposals for orbital motion was some sort of electromagnetic effect of the rotation of larger objects on smaller and whether this remains an avenue of research, Kepler's view was the common sense one -

"The Sun and the Earth rotate on their own axes...The purpose of this
motion is to confer motion on the planets located around them;on the
six primary planets in the case of the Sun,and on the moon in the case
of the Earth.On the other hand the moon does not rotate on the axis of
its own body,as its spots prove " Kepler
