It was extremely politically INCONVENIENT as even by 1966 the US realised it was costing a huge amount of money and even by then the desire to beat the Soviets in space was far less pressing than it had been in 1961.

And faking any of what was done on these missions at that time would not only have been even more expensive, it would not have been possible.

Anybody who really thinks the Apollo programme was faked is not only an idiot, they are a deluded idiot who doesn’t realise how much of an idiot they really are.

Spoken like a religious zealot.

Exactly. The irony is lost

Indeed. The enlighten ones from the Covid and conspiracy theory threads have arrived!

I've always had my doubts. Not so much about the science of whether it is/was actually possible. More because it was so politically convenient, and it would be far easier, cheaper and safer to fake it than to actually do it.

How do the Russians fit into that hypothesis?

I'm not sure. Perhaps debunking it would have shown how far behind they were? Or undermined the case for ploughing more resources into their space programme? Maybe they were fooled too?

It was a massive PR coup at the height of the cold war. To say there's no room for any doubt seems ludicrous to me.

Yet you’ve assumed what I do. Ok fine.

I don’t need to assume anything about you at all. Your every word demonstrates clearly your level of intellect.

Only because you know nothing about the subject. Ignorance can get you a long way - even if you are 100% wrong.

Which is?

This is brilliant. Question the very nature of an indoctrinated belief and you will get this response. This should be studied

Go on then, what is your absolutely irrefutable proof that this event 50 years ago absolutely could not have possibly been faked?

So you can say, as you did re the above point about the Russians, 'I don't know why but I don't believe it'

It's funny how there are a couple of hot button subjects that really infuriate people. As though it should be evident to anyone with a passing interest that this rather strange episode from 60 years ago was absolutely genuine and any doubt at all about it can only be malice or stupidity.

It's because the evidence for the moon landings having taken place is so overwhelming that to doubt them is ridiculous.


I assume you know there were six landings, not just one?

Exactly, no one has come here saying they will rape your children, just maybe no one 50 years ago was being very honest! And then we get shouted at.

Yes, because there actually is room for doubt.

Are they? Have you actually looked. Have you interviewed Neil Armstrong about it? Oh no….. he went underground immediately

You're not being shouted at. It's somewhere between pity and disbelief.

Why pity? I don’t care if you believe the nonsense, why should you care if believe the non nonsense?

It's the opposite of 'nonsense'. It's hard to think of any events in human history with more evidence for them having taken place than the moon landings.
