I wonder why no one disputes Soviet status as first man in space?? Or first being in space (the dogs)

I've no doubt there are Tin Foil Hatters in Russia
And the Soviets, being complete simpletons regarding space missions at the time, and having no access to radio telescopes and such etc, fell for this ruse
The real story is that the Russians got there first and didn't tell anyone.
You'd need a telescope the size of Belgium to make out the Apollo landing sites from Earth.

Why are China in on the deceit by saying they had photographed the Apollo 11 landing site when they orbited the Moon a couple of years ago?
They didn't orbit the moon and just fell for it. Saying they photographed it to make people think they have managed to get a satellite there..

Wow and no western scientists/astronomers tracked what they were doing because they took their word for it.

Was there not a Russian mission to the moon, which crashed and therefore failed killing the cosmonauts on-board?
I could have sworn I thought this was fact from a very young age. It is just another conspiracy?

Russia gave in once the USA had done it so AFAIK they never put a man on the moon because it was now pointless.
Ooh, just thought of a good CT.
Russia was so much in debt that they needed an excuse to get out of the race to the moon so they accepted USA had got there first.
Exactly. It's basically how organised religion works. The whole lot of them believe in god 'cos they have been told he exists.
There is a whole CT about Russia losing cosmonauts during the space race and covering it up. Fuelled by the fact that Russia liked to erase people from history when they fell out of favour. Doctored photos and everything. They have done it with cosmonauts, and some (probably fake) audio exists of a panicked woman supposedly burning up and exploding on re-entry. That's all the nuts needed really. Especially with how secretive that country was/is.
To be honest, it is remarkable that no-one has actually been lost while in space ... officially.

well the Shining is a very interesting film
and it's dissection makes for quite the head scratch.
Not really, no. To take a picture of the landing site would require a close pass, i.e. another lunar mission. The telescopes we have aren't designed for that sort of thing. You can see a rough gist of it from a fairly close pass, but not anything clearly the landing site and stuff left behind.
In any case, it's irrelevant. There are hundreds of photos and hours of video already, so why would 1 more photo convince any of the conspiracy believers? Their position is not based on evidence, so it can't be changed by providing them with evidence.

Obviously, the aliens who provided the technology required to fake the evidence (it wasn't possible to fake it with the technology known to humans at the time) used one of their spaceships to send the signals you were detecting.
The existence of aliens is proven by this, obviously. Since the USA had spent a fortune developing and building everything necessary for a manned lunar mission, the only possible reason they could have for faking one was orders from aliens. The same aliens who made faking it possible. You see? It all makes sense.
So, do you think aliens might be involved then?
