Apollo's Law

Any Internet discussion on a topic relating to Outer Space or Space Exploration which goes on for long enough will eventually lead to someone saying that Space exploration or Space itself is a lie/hoax.

This usually refers to Flat Earthers who don't believe that Outer space exists yet this isn't exclusive to them as some people do believe that space exists but that missions have only reached Earth orbit and not to the Moon or the other planets.
