We’re not conspiracy theory wackos. We absolutely believe American astronauts walked on the moon. Twelve of them on six different missions. They loped around, smacked golf balls, drove that little dune buggy, all that stuff.
But take a look at this video. It really makes you wonder if the entire Chinese space walk was phony.
We hate the American media. They’ve proven they’re untrustworthy. But what’s this world coming to when you can’t trust the Chinese media?
Watch the video.

I don’t think they faked it but I do think they had a backup plan in case of failure.
We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.
The Youtube poster is also a 9/11 truther even though the author of this article may not be.
What he calls bubbles look like debris.
They may have also have shown some simulation footage.
There is no real motivation to fake the space walk - they clearly have the missiles so if the attempt was unsuccessful they could have tried again rather than risk a fake.
do i remember (on drudge?) that the liftoff was reported hours before the actual liftoff?
It doesn’t help that they released a story about their success prior to launch. LOL
I don’t doubt their success but I suspect they were prepared just in case.
Agreed. They likely had the story written in advance so it could be approved at the highest level.
You know, they do raise some interesting points. I’ll admit that.
That is so funny. Bubbles. How they missed that, that is priceless.
Great analysis and excellent points. It certainly looks fake. The audio alone gives it away!

Wow, the Chinese government would be that desperate to fake a space walk?
I don’t know if it’s fake or not, but we track every single freaking piece of trash floating around space to help avoid collisions, not to mention every single thing that gets launched. So, I’m sure if it was fake, all the right people know all about it.
“There is no real motivation to fake the space walk”
Of course not. I want what you are smoking.
