I haven’t bothered to notice the moon-landing theories until now. I saw no convincing reasons to doubt the conventional story. Now the former head of Russia’s space agency asks several questions based on his own experience and knowledge.
1. He was thoroughly familiar with the condition of cosmonauts. When they returned from a long trip in zero gravity, it took several weeks to regain their land legs. Just after landing they could barely walk. In old films of our 1969 moon landing, the capsule was picked up from the ocean and the astronauts were perfectly normal as soon as they climbed out. Why were our men unaffected by zero gravity?
2. He’s also thoroughly familiar with Russian satellite coverage of the moon. He knows where Apollo supposedly landed. Nothing is visible there. No equipment, no sign of disturbance. The moon has no wind or rain, so things don’t get rusted or blown over or covered by dust.
3. After retirement he asked his former colleagues what they knew. The two space agencies have always cooperated despite our demonic government’s perpetual war on Russia. His colleagues told him that NASA is still an important customer for the Krasnoyarsk rocket station, so their lips are sealed.
4. Why didn’t we do it again? Our skills should have been improved by practice, so we should have done it again soon to keep up the learning. We’ve never repeated the performance, despite alleged improvements in location and tracking technology since then. (Rockets haven’t improved; already mature at that point.)
I appreciate the land legs argument now, based on my own vestibular troubles. When the balance system is disturbed, it takes a while to restore normalcy.
Incidentally, my inattention to the whole question is also experience-based. The moon landing happened during my jail time. Don’t look back.
