The idea that two completely ideologically opposed superpowers engaged in a phantom space race that resulted in humans stepping on another world for the first time and neither took the opportunity to definitively prove their rivals are a fraud is frankly laughable. The space race was a logical evolution of the rocket technology pioneered by von Braun and others during World War 2 (guessing that was probably faked too...). Is the ISS also fake? Are the current tests of the Starliner and the Falcon Super Heavy also fake? Again, an evolution of what came before. Surely a conspiracy nut like Elon would be shouting from the rooftops if it turned out we'd never been to the moon the first time around? I swear there's only 2 reasons you lot make claims like this: either you're doing it for shits and giggles (most likely) or you have some warped idea that by continuously denying the existence of space travel and the shape of the earth, someone's going to invite you into a rocket to see space for yourself. Nobody can be this dense. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody can be this dense. I see you were a good student, but unfortunately it really is all fairytale, movie production for the masses. They're hiding the truth from us that we live in a simulation and you can't access Moon, other planets etc because that's all holograms. Expand your consciousness, bro and you will see it too. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
