If you still think this tin foil paper mache piece of shit landed humans on the moon, you are not a real truther and you may have some sort of disability.

Fraud begins when they get to a point when they reach a wall. Getting into earth orbit was one thing, travelling to the moon and getting into orbit around it was conceivable. Creating a multipart space ship that could allow a lander to undock from an orbiting mothership, land on the moon, take off again, dock with the orbiting mothership, then return to earth. No fucking way. That is why the best they could do since then was the earth orbiting space shuttle. They never even equalled what they claimed to have done in the 1960s with just a modern day childs calculator as a computer never mind tried to surpass that and go further.

Before the landing Apollo 10 docked with the LEM and crew transferred to it. They then separated the craft and the LEM flew independently. The LEM upper stage then fired it's engine to rendezvous with the CM. The LEM met the CM in orbit just as they would around the moon. And, in Earth orbit those craft were travelling faster than in lunar orbit. So, the entire landing event was simulated and all the parts worked.

Thhe moon program was a money pit. After the first landing the public knew the Russians were beaten and the cost of further missions was unpopular. Cutting of the NASA budget is the reason why nothing more ambitious than the shuttle and a crappy space station followed Apollo. The article below is a good read, and the Wik page below gives year to year spending.

But besides all that we have the problem of over a hundred thousand insiders. Not one of those people leaked a conspiracy when doing so could net them $millions.

Just because 100,000 people worked on the space program would not mean 100,000 people would need to participate in faking it. All they would have to do is go onto orbit around earth or even around the moon and stay there while ground control played a pre recorded simulation of the landing made at a movie set.

Only a handful of people would need to know.

So You're saying they would do that for all 6 missions. What would be the point then in going to the moon at all then. Just stay in high Earth orbit and no ones' the wiser. A handful of people? In my last reply I listed what amounts to thousands needed just to make it work.

Someone might bring up the Manhattan project. Those people were assigned to a gulag but once the project was over they were free to talk. NOt one person has come forward about Apollo.

"So You're saying they would do that for all 6 missions.”

You said that not me. You're arguing with yourself.

I'm not arguing with myself. You said that the landings have been faked. If you don't think there was a landing then all 6 missions would have to have been faked.
