Let’s say we went to space. No need to bring landing on the moon in it. That thing with Kubrik still bugs me, and the Cold War was pretty intense.
We went to the moon.
If we hadn’t, the Soviet’s would have been screaming it from the rooftops. The soviets tracked all the Apollo missions themselves, and even had robotic missions going on at the same time as several of the manned US landings.
The Cold War was intense. You think if the US hadn’t made, the soviets would have just let it slide?
I don’t think you know much about Russian culture or history.
They have long hard winters and they plan years ahead.
Also, your president is a Russian asset now, and they have successfully blackmailed to many members of both parties possibly even Supreme Court justices.
Just to get a little bit of a sense of what the USSR was around the time of the moon landing this is a pretty good start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Brezhnev
Anyway, my experience here on Lemmy is that very few people are capable of looking into so-called conspiracies with a fresh pair of eyes. If the actual version of the events wasn’t reported on BBC and CNN at the time of happening some people will never accept another version of history.
That's cute. But let the grown ups talk.
