Random grocery line chat made me rethink the moon landing theories

The guy behind me at the Safeway on 5th started going off about how the 1969 footage was filmed in a Nevada desert set, and he had this one detail about the dust particles that I couldn't shake. Spent the drive home looking it up and found a solid breakdown that actually explains the trajectory, so now I'm not so quick to laugh off every claim. Anyone else had a random stranger's rant flip their stance on a classic debate?

Wondering if a grocery store rant is really the best place to get your space science facts, even if the guy happened to land on a decent point about dust. One random link that lines up with a half remembered detail doesn't really settle a debate that's been going for fifty plus years. It's fine to keep an open mind, but let's not act like the checkout line is where the truth comes out.
