The Russkies have been just like Florida/Georgia Democrats after the last elections. You lost the space race. It’s obvious to everybody. It’s been confirmed a million times over. Throwing a temper tantrum, trying to deny reality and coming up with laughable conspiracy theories is not going to change reality.

Get over it.

Actually we won't have to worry about going out to find Voyager. Voyager will be coming to find US!

The Goodies made the mistake of sending bunnies to the moon.

Sour grapes?

It can be argued that to get the money to support a space program, some effort needs to be made to arouse public sentiment. Whipping the USA is a way to raise that sentiment

Dinky Wilson brought a beeping rock back from the moon too.

There were 6 landings in total. All left equipment behind including the lower part of the LEM. Apollo 12 landed near the site where unmanned probe Surveyor 3 had landed and retrieved parts from it. While relatively small to the entire lunar surface the stuff is there. The biggest thing left might be the tracks left by the lunar rover which in the case of the last mission Apollo 17 went several miles in distance from the lander.

Glad they’ve solved all their problems so they can work on this from 50 years ago.

The only part of the moon landing deniers arguments I had trouble dismissing was shadows on the moon's surface being at slightly different angles like from a nearby light rather than the sun. Then Mythbusters did an episode on the moon landing and showed that a slight incline in the ground tilted the shadow and it was nearly impossible to see the incline itself without the shadow because the moon dust is so uniform and dark (about 12% reflectance).

If we had not sent something to the moon and returned it the Russians would have publicly announced that and humiliated us. Then the only possible fake was to send a rocket to the moon, land something, drop off a laser reflector and return to Earth, but then fake having people there. But a week long ride in space was the easiest of all of the parts of the landing.

Translation: when we get there we will claim to be the first. Communists are so predictable.

He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering...

I know it would have taken like TEN seconds to get to that part and you guys are busy responding before getting to the end of the title! :)

Next time try for God’s sake.

As Rahm Emanuel said "Never let a crisis title go to waste."

I remember back around 1967-1969, SCIENCE AND MECHANICS magazine had a series of articles calling the Russian entry into space AND the US moon landings, FAKES.

Then there is the movie CAPRICORN ONE (1977).

Moon landings have already been confirmed.

Want to confirm it yourself? When there is an eclipse look at the moon. You can see lots of laser reflections that are from corner cubes left there. The lasers are shot from the earth for various measurements
