MOSCOW The head of Russias Roscosmos space agency has said that a proposed Russian mission to the moon will be tasked with verifying that the American moon landings were real.
We have set this objective to fly and verify whether theyve been there or not, said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter.
Rogozin was responding to a question about whether or not NASA actually landed on the moon nearly 50 years ago. He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding NASAs moon missions are common in Russia.
The Soviet Union abandoned its lunar program in the mid-1970s after four experimental moon rockets exploded.
In 2015, a former spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee called for an investigation into NASA moon landings.

I think I did a quick calculation some time back when I heard about the moon moving away - if I remember right, in 50,000 years, it will be 1 mile farther.
Gravity......yes
Acretion is gravity in action
The Hassleblad stills and 16mm film the Astronauts took are absolutely stunning, there is no way the terrain could be faked in a studio. Not even today. The engineering of the mission, the cooperation between different manufacturers and academia was amazing. IBM, MIT, North American, Grumman, etc. I think when looking at the level of sophistication and planning and attention to detail, it simply wasn’t possible for the Soviet Union. They had some very fine scientists and engineers, but they didn’t have the depth and breadth of privately held corporations capable of that level of production and continual process of improvement, with oversight by capable mission managers who had the ability to say “No, we’re not doing it that way. Here’s why”. That kind of thinking got you sent on a permanent tour of Siberia.
The whole “Moon Hoax” thing is so absurd I am not hopeful about the future. I mean, crap like this isn’t the only problem we have but it’s an indication of how stupid people have become.
Did you read my explanation of why gravity is the mechanism? Accretion has very little to do with it. Moon tugs on the oceans, the friction slows the Earth's rotation and some of the Earth's angular momentum is transferred to the Earth-Moon binary system's rotation, which causes to Earth and Moon to move apart. Not accretion.
"astronomy the process in which matter under the influence of gravity is attracted to and increases the mass of a celestial body. The matter usually forms an accretion disc around the accreting object."
