Wow, you have the beliefs of a chimpanzee.

I betcha the International Space Station is fake too, even though we can see it from the fucking surface with a regular telescope.

That would be a waste of space. Pun intended.

I've yet to see evidence of the US being anything close to "democracy and freedom" Governments should have nothing to do with space.

You heard the man. Let's pull down our weather satellites, the ISS, Hubble, and GPS.

So what elements have you miscomprehended to perceive as "evidence" for a fake moon landing?

90% of arguments boil down to "you don't know what photography is" or "the moon is vast and featureless". Often both.

There's nothing special about the first moon landing. The technology, organization, people and even the rocket were the same. There's no reason to believe Apollo XI was faked and Apollo XII not unless you're desperately trying to sustain a silly conspiracy theory.

None of those things are "space junk", by definition.

The Russians were months away from their first moon landing while the Americans were also close they didn't want to lose another space milestone.

By all means get rid of the junk. That project alone would require massive investment in space programs. But if you want to drop weather birds, I can only conclude you're a few newton-seconds short of a motor.

Then guess what? Even if they did fake it, don't fucking matter.

And they did NOT fake it. That idiotic theory has been disproven over and over again.

What is Phoenix's online degree program and why are you so obsessed with it?

No man, they faked it. They actually landed on Phobos instead of our moon. *nods*

All the Russians had to do in this case was show the landing was faked (which they easily could) and make the Americans into the laughing stock of the world.

If the Americans could bribe the Russians into not denouncing their failure, there would be no need for a space race to begin with.

Actually, no.

At this point, we'd know you'd be lying, so we wouldn't.

Your loss. I brought butter.

If the Russians had attempted to show the first landing was faked it would have caused the American's and allies would have just called it "Soviet Propaganda".

See I'm pointing this out to you right now and you're giving the same reaction the Americans during the cold war would have.
