Default First Moonwalk? A Russian Perspective

Would you believe it? According to the Russians, Neil Armstrong was not
the first man to walk on the moon. Indeed, they claim that it was
Michael Jackson who truly was the first American to do a moonwalk.

Here's an article from Pravda that gives a Russian perspective.

-http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/...928_space.html

"One cosmonaut who was sent in far outer space reportedly experienced
the Van Allen Belts harmful effects firsthand. According to various
sources, while he left white, he came back black; he was cooked to a
crisp due to the harmful radiation. This was despite heavy shielding to
dissipate any rays, which did no good. Those who knew about this
incident were reportedly devastated."


You didn't read this article very well; all it does is hint at the same
nonsense the moon hoax kooks claim. And note the lack of a reference
or even just a mission number for this vague story about the Van Allen
belts: "reportedly". Here was another clue about the veracity of the
author of this article that you missed: "it would be approximately a
20-day journey each way, provided there were no problems".
