It was the time of the Cold War and America was fucking gutted that the commies put Yuri into space. JFK said they would send someone to the moon before the end of the decade...yeah right 1969 will do.
Why a rocket with less computer power than a pocket calculator ever made it to the moon and back is farcical. I call bullshit.
LOL.
I don't know whether they did or they didn't. There is no 100% certainty either way. I believed that they probably did until I visited
the Kennedy Space Center in 1989 and after that it seemed unlikely. The equipment, apart from the Saturn V rocket, really didn't
look up to the job. Whether it was actually done or the mother of all Cold War deceptions in a sense doesn't matter. The Soviets
thought it might of been possible and the rest of the world thought it had happened. It was a great triumph for the US in particular
and the Free World in general. Why it's such an emotive issue among some of "The Believers" is also a mystery to me.
Everybody debates JFK, Diana & Marilyn quite rationally even if they have totally opposing views. The Moon Hoax (?) debate seems
to stir up almost religious fervour. Very strange.
You don't think the Russians may have raised some questions it they thought it hadn't been carried out?
I'm sick to death of idiots not being able to comprehend the magnitude of the achievement and therefore calling bullshit.
Well obviously they either did or they didn't. There is no 100% proof that I've seen that either confirms or denies it.
If you don't understand what I'm saying then that's your problem.
The Russians didn't know for certain whether they had or hadn't. They'd have looked like bad losers if they had denied
it had happened and total twats if the Yanks subsequently proved that they had.
Read my other posts. I think calling it man's greatest achievement (if it happened) pretty much confirms I do comprehend
the magnitude of the achievement.
If questioning what I'm told to believe makes me an idiot then good, I'm glad I'm not terminally gullible.
