I think it was real. Under normal circumstances they would have spent longer to get it right but it was a moon race to beat the Ruskies there and I bet it was a close race towards the end. I also think we got awful lucky pulling it off.

Apollo was always supposed to be a hoax but the deeper they got into they soon realized the harder it was going to be to make it look convincing enough. They finally said "*censored* it! It will be easier to just go to the moon" So that is what they did and the rest is history.

When I was golfing with Jack Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa last summer, they assured me that Apollo and a lot of other stuff was faked.

Ok, sounds like somebody needs to go shovel coal and take a break from the internet.

Keep in mind that while the Apollo missions were going on, there was a large segment of the population still experimenting with mind-altering drugs. :lol:

Some of them believe that many times we've been visited by aliens from far off planets,..... but we can't reach the moon ? :baby:

Many of them then had offspring. :o

What these "crack" pots don't tell you is that there were tens of thousands of people involved in the several Apollo moon landing missions - including the Russians spying on and tracking our spacecraft. It would be impossible to hide a fake-it conspiracy all these years.

And you can bet that if there were no landings, the Russians - who were heavily into the cold war space-race competition with us - would have made sure the world knew if it never happened.

Absolutely, the Apollo program was real.
Just the hard stuff was faked 😉
