The way I look at it, the Soviet Union would have been closely monitoring the moon landing. If they had a reason to believe that it was faked, they wouldn't have hesitated to say so.
- addicted 6y agoThe Soviet response basically eliminates any conspiracy theory. While the moon landings obviously were not plastered all over the news media, the Soviets almost universally, although quietly, praised and congratulated the astronauts and NASA on their achievement. If the landing was faked the response would have been drastically different.
- tcmb 6y agoInteresting to think that nowadays this might actually happen, i.e. some country or power might actually call the opposing power's achievement a fake, despite knowing it is true. Back in the day there was a lot less information available for everyone, yet today this seems more likely to happen.
- nitwit005 6y agoMuch like the UFO stuff, they'll just claim it's a multi-national conspiracy, and ignore the problem of motivation. I kind of wish these vast multi-national conspiracies that can cover up important world events, and maintain the secret for decade after decade existed. Who wouldn't want to work for such an organized, well funded, and culturally diverse organization?
