One of my favorite quotes is “The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead”, from some random western movie, but yes people love to blab.

Now imagine how CGI was when they flew to the moon in 1969!
The best argument against the moon landings being fake is the sheer amount of people involved in the Apollo project. Estimates go up to 400’000 people (with different levels of involvement). If it had all been fake, someone would have blabbed by now.

And you cannot deny the truth of that statement. I know that quote differently, btw: “Two can keep a secret, if one of them us dead.”, and I think that was from “Yes, Minister!” 😃

Actually the best argument would be that the Soviets didn’t raise holy hell about it being fake.
Apollo 11 was able to be tracked by radio the entire trip to the moon. The radio transmissions and The television broadcast was unencrypted over plain radio. I’m sure the Soviets were able to verify the entire mission in real time. If there was even a hint that the moon landing was fake, the Soviets would have been throwing it in the US’s face the instant it happened.

You don’t think your conspiracies big enough. Obviously the Soviet Union was in on it, something, something New World Order. Nobody knows what’s to be gained for whom, but that is what conspiracy theories are made of.

This kills me the most. Most nations can’t agree on taxes or land boundaries or hundreds of other things, but they agree on space. Sure. That tracks.

Soviet probes were on the surface the same week Apollo 11 landed.

That is one of the other verifications, indeed.
