A former chief of Russian space agency Roscosmos has voiced doubt over the authenticity of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing.
“About 10 years ago, when I worked in the government, I sent an official request to Roscosmos to provide me with documentary evidence of the Americans' stay on the moon,” Dmitry Rogozin said in a statement on Telegram on Sunday.
Rogozin said that he was “embarrassed” about the return of Soviet cosmonauts from space expeditions barely able to stand on their feet and undergoing long recoveries, while US astronauts crawled out of their lunar ships, in his words, “like cucumbers from the garden.”
Rogozin further said that he continued to search for evidence on the US landings on the Moon while working at Roscosmos, but said he could not find anything other than the “angry accusations” of some academics who claimed that he undermined Russia’s “sacred cooperation with NASA.”
Rogozin also said he received a call from a high-ranking official accusing him of "aggravating the international situation" with his doubts about the Apollo 11 landing.
“I did not undermine or aggravate anything, but only by virtue of my nature I tried to get to the bottom of the details and establish, at least for myself, the true state of affairs in the issue of exploration of the Moon by our competitors. It was not clear to me how the United States, at that level of technological development of the ‘60s in the last century, did what they still cannot do now,” Rogozin said…

Actually; it does NOT 'run'.
It's just some mirrors sitting there in the dust.
...and while drugged, anally probed by little short guys wearing gray clothing.
So tell me why SOULD we go back?
And just what did they use for computing power?

Moon rovers do not vote.
My wife, daughter and I drove from Indianapolis to FLA to actually BE there when they lifted off for the moon!
Well; my daughter didn't drive - she was only 3 yo at the time.
Thus all the GOLD mylar material that wraps so many objects that will be used in space.

Ah Russia, the white trash capital of the world.
He’s ion good company as there are more than a few Freepers that are also willfully ignorant.
Correct!
Has the Russian government ever lied to us?
The contractors and subcontractors all did their jobs to the best of their ability.
They had no special insight on whether the landings were real or fake.
NASA had simulation after simulation after simulation....for the vast majority of their employees they had no way to tell a simulation from the real thing.
That was not their fault either.
> Just up the road to Hanksville, you’ll find the underground (well - inside a rock) gas station.
thanks. are there any UFOs there?
(how silly of me— of course there are...)
Have you revisited the laughable footage from the all-so-convenient, “We met our BHAG to make it to the moon by the end of the decade” “landing” lately?
Nixon’s crystal clear, unlagged, AT&T-branded call to the moon?
I suppose you believe in Building 7’s spontaneous operation as well?
And we care what this guy thinks because…?
He’s just jealous because the U.S. has sent men to the moon and Russia hasn’t.
As Campion pointed out, there is a lunar return program, so you’d have to ask NASA. Since you believe we went there already and since NASA is trying to do it “again,” you should have no problem with it. If we were able to do it over 50 years ago then what’s the hold up??
