Updated: Added unedited and actual excerpt of the Examiner article.
According to a Tuesday article in the Moscow Times, a spokesman for Russia’s Investigative Committee named Vladimir Markin suggested that an international investigation be mounted into some of the “various murky details surrounding the U.S. moon landings between 1969 and 1972.”
Markin would particularly like to know some of the missing moon rocks went to and why the original footage of the Apollo 11 moon landing was erased.
Markin hastened to add that he is, of course, not suggesting that NASA faked the moon landings and just filmed the events in a studio...

Don’t say that in front of Buzz.
Hey good luck with that Vladimir. And I really mean that.
Let’s see if they can find the missing emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server first. You know, as practice.
There must be a funny picture to post regarding this article but i’m not sharp enough to think of one :)
Says he’s not a nut. Wants an investigation on why historically important artifacts vanished.
The aliens told us to, wait, what’s that knock on my door...
“why historically important artifacts vanished.”
Because Neil wasn’t concerned with getting shot by a Fascist.
Some historians believe that the moon landings contributed to the eventual fall of the Soviet Union by proving the technological superiority of the United States.///
Had a little to do with a guy name Ronald Reagan also.
The original footage of the Apollo 11 moon landing has been erased? Where do they get that?
The US Government never, ever destroys anything. All photos, texts, films, audios, written correspondence are tucked away SOMEWHERE.
An attempt to discredit our epic journey to the moon, methinks. Interesting that Ted Cruz heads up the Space Committee; will be waiting for his or NASA’s response.
Moon temperatures swing wildly from sun to shade by over four hundred degrees, =/- ~200 degrees F.
The cameras were unshielded metal. The film was held rolled in a metal carrier with metal framing plates. The solar radiation hit the outer metal camera frame, heating it. Convection carried the heat to the film, heating it. The reverse happened instantaneously in the shade, freezing everything. The film should be a melted/cracked, brittle mess, completely unable to roll smoothly across the frame and then be re-rolled on the other side. In addition, the photographic emulsion should be trashed from the extreme heating and cooling, badly fogged at best.
Yet none of this happened. The photos were perfect. I used to do darkroom work in the olden days. And so I know that if you do the same thing in the desert or the snow, if you don’t insulate your camera and shield it from the sun or the cold, it you don’t keep your film packs in coolers or a heated car, as necessary, then you’re work is toast - fogged garbage on cracked or melted film.
So I’d love to know how NASA pulled off this technical miracle on the moon - I really would.
If the moon landing had been faked in 1969, the Soviets would have been screaming “There’s no one on the moon!! We can prove it!”
Didn’t that transformer movie explain why the Apollo moon landing tape was erased..../ S

You know that same government shredded and destroyed the blueprints for the Saturn 5 rocket motors, right? And destroyed all the toolings for making them? And that's why they weren't available for the space shuttle, or for now?
You didn't know that? About the most powerful rocket engines ever created? That sent us to the moon? That could provide all the LEO heavy lift capabilities we'd need? That they were simply thrown away, with no explanation?
Bummer.
Read what this guy has to say about the camera and film.

The Russians can find those, they surely made copies when they hacked her server before Hillary deleted them.
