"A military space war-fighting strategy is also being put in place, some China-watchers claim. That line of attack calls for quick access to orbit, lofting anti-satellites, utilizing powerful ground-based lasers to blind spacecraft - all part of a technological tool kit for denying use of the "high ground" of space by an adversary."

I tink the most important argument to convince people that man already landed on the moon is "otherwise the soviets wouold have exposed it - after all they were also in the race".
It looks like soon we will see a second similar argument coming : "the chinese also did it" ...
