I would very much like to believe, but… no doubt we’ve all heard the crackpot theories that we (speaking as a US citizen) faked the moon landings. That’s nonsense for all sorts of reasons, but one of my favorites is this: It would literally be easier to build giant machines using 1960s technology to land people on the moon and return them safely than it would be to keep a secret like “fake moon landings”. Now imagine the secret being “alien intelligence/time travelers/angelic beings are visiting earth on the regular”. No matter how good some of us are at keeping secrets, this one would have gotten out long ago. That said, I’d still love to be demonstrated wrong.
