If we had faked it, the Russians would have called us out on it. No way they would have missed a chance to embarrass us like that.
The ro kets we launched cost a lot of maoney. How anyone can seriously think that kind of expenditure would be made for a simpke hoax is baffling
Not only the Russians, but our Democrat-owned press and Democrats. You think the Democrats and press hate Donald Trump? Multiply that x10 and that is how much they hated Richard Nixon. If Nixon had tried to set up an elaborate hoax that had to involve thousands of people, the press would have found out about it and they would not have had to wait for Watergate to destroy him. They would have crucified him. And the Democrats, i.e., Daniel Inouye would have had a field day in his senate hearings. This would have been circus like no other!
Best argument for we went to the moon.
