There is thought the problem you raise of Russia going along with the
hoax.That was your best point.
Exactly how would they know what had happened? Spy satellites? A
russian Hubble? Spies at the launch site? Someone on the moon to
report back?
Nah.
They had to get whatever they knew about it mostly second hand from us
and we lie.
Nonsense. They had radars capable of tracking the spacecraft. As for
the signals, they were recieved with huge high-gain radio telescopes
stationed all over the world. The Russians had such things too. Aim
them at the Moon and you'd get the signals. Aim them aywhere else and
you didn't.
Your arguments reveal massive, fundamental ignorance of the issues of
space flight, physics in general, and the ability of the government to
conduct gigantic frauds involving hundreds of thousands of people who
were either a colossal class of flawless liars or were a bunch of
incredible fools, spending years working on projects which made perfect
sense to them and their engineering knowledge, but which according to
you was all nonsense that couldn't possibly have worked. Too hard to
"blast ourselves all the way to to the moon?" Why don't you take the
known data on engine efficiency, vehicle mass, propellant engergy, and
so forth, perform the calculations, and then let us all know whether it
would have worked or just fallen into the sea? Furrowing your brow and
supposing it's all just too hard doesn't cut it.
Your views are a massive insult to the people weho devoted a large part
of their lives to accomplishing this mission.
