I'd say,"Federal Reserve notes are fake." And I'd refuse the subject of the moon landing until we covered that more pressing issue.
What do you say to people who think the moon landing was faked?

If it was fake, who put the U.S. flag we saw there on the 2nd landing?
I just don't understand what's stopped us going back up there and setting up base or doing cool moon experiments. I'm sure there's plenty of cool shit to discover from fucking around on a different gravity field. Not to mention the potential for resources and Industry

What's so difficult to understand? You've pointed out some nice reasons to go back, but what do you not understand about budget issues, science goals met, and spaceflight superiority established?
nobody reads the lunar peace treaties, or understand the back end politics
Basically everyone is so too afraid that whoever gets the moon, mars, ... they will have such a overwhelming advantage that nuclear retaliation is considered a viable alternative to another moon landing.
The result is space exploration is done at a painfully slow pace as each launch practically has its own UN investigation to show it is not some secret power grab.
We either fix things here properly (world peace and stuff), or say screw it and let one faction setup a military moon base secure orbital strike abilities for centuries to come.
You got to think like a paranoid politician to understand such complex ideas.
That hydroponic bay China plans to build, totally a bio-weapons plant out of investigation scrutiny so only they can contol the food supply.
Sending people instead of robots is reeeealllly fucking expensive and honestly, its noy worth the money compared to the science.
Especially considering how good our rovers are getting, with their onboard chemistry labs and spectrometers.
...aaaaand with that entry from left field, I'm going to bed.
