      The Soviets didn't contest it, it happened. Like ignoring all the physical evidence, the fact that they went to the moon multiple times, and all the rest. The Soviets saw it, said "yup", and had nothing to say. If that shit was faked no way in hell they wouldn't have spotted it and trumpeted it to the world.

      They left a mirror behind so that other space orgs could shoot a laser at the moon and see it get reflected back, so they have independent verification.

        Not to mention the ton of spaceships that orbited the moon since then from other nations (such as China or India) that took photos of the Apollo landing sites.

      "Moon landing didn't happen" is such a lame conspiracy.

      I much prefer this one:

      The US government wanted to fake the moon landing. They hired a studio in Hollywood and made a soundstage to represent the moon, set up cameras... But then to make the thing look good they hired acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick to manage the production of the stunt.

      However, Kubrick was such a perfectionist that he demanded they film on location, and the rest is history.

        I have been going with the moon landing was fake. the USSR beat us to space on every front. We beat them to landing on the moon? no friggin' way. Our borrowed Natzi scientist could put a satellite up without seeing the Russians do it first.
