im going to do kind of an inverse joke reveal april fools day post, ie im going to use this day to clarify that something i talk about for the rest of the year is actually a joke. all the "space skeptical", "is space real", fake nasa stuff is just a joke u shouldnt take seriously
myself and others often post about not trusting NASA or about questioning basic aspects of our cosmology that are passed down to us by scientists. people excitedly DM me to ask about this but im sorry to reveal that we are just kidding. you actually can trust the experts here
i never imagined that when i said "just look at the sun, u can clearly see that it isnt 93 million miles away", or "just go out at night, obviously the moon is a self illuminated source of light, not a sphere of terra firma reflecting light" that people would take this seriously
but now the jokes gone a little too far so i have to clarify. obviously space is real. we really have this infinite black vacuum right above us beyond the sky that encloses our air filled atmosphere. many, many people spend their lives studying all this, they cant all be wrong.
theres no reason that nasa, with a 20 billion dollar budget, would ever fake photos. theres perfectly logical reasons why theyve never released a non-photoshopped complete picture of earth from space. frankly its a little naive to think u know more than the expert scientists here
so yeah, on this day when everyone jokes around i had to flip the script + clarify. people dm me "bro i cant stop thinking about why a supposedly dusty planet like mars would look indistinguishable from a star in the night sky it makes no sense", its just jokes, dont read into it
in the past ive posted images like this + said "the stars are on a dome turning above us, the reliability of celestial phenomena over millennia shows we're not moving millions of miles thru space". i wouldnt want to lead anyone astray with my platform so, this is 100% just a meme 
thats it really. i know being crazy guy is part of my image but it seems like some people have started to think that i actually think there are questions to be asked about this stuff. wasnt sure when i should clarify this so april first seemed like a good day. clarification over
