Russia Demands Probe into US Moon Landing...

...over FIFA

The increasingly tense relationship between the United States and Russia might be about to face a new challenge: a Russian investigation into American moon landings.

“We are not contending that they did not fly [to the moon], and simply made a film about it. But all of these scientific — or perhaps cultural — artifacts are part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened,” Markin wrote, according to the Moscow Times translation.

but why are Russia wanting to do this well...

So, why is Investigative Committee member Markin speculating about conspiracy theories surrounding US moon landings that happened decades ago? In his op-ed, the Russian official also emphasized that “US authorities had crossed a line by launching a large-scale corruption probe targeting nine Fifa officials,” according to the Moscow Times.

Lol GG Russia.

So this is officially Russia looking into this and not some investigators whilst on leave?

They are doing this completely on their own accord, whilst taking the usual summer vacation from the state-run entities. Maybe.

Seems legit......maybe.

I'm confused as to the "disappearances" they are referring to? :confused:

Disappearances of what exactly? :/

What a load of rubbish. Someone should go tell Putin where to stick it...

Then take away the 2018 World Cup from them and increase sanctions.

This will make them look stupid whatever they conclude.

"We conclude the US did not walk on the moon as we wrote the conclusion before we started"

"We actually looked into it and yeah they went, sorry for looking silly"

What are they even talking about, what scientific and cultural relics have been lost?
They aren't even disputing the moon landings like some in here think.

I know there's a few moon rocks missing, USA gave every? Nation a moon rock on a plaque and a fair few are missing. However this is still on FBI priority list.
And what footage has been lost?

Oh and crap independent title and poor OP.

This is the important bit

According to a translation by the Moscow Times, Markin would support an inquiry into the disappearance of original footage from the first moon landing in 1969 and the whereabouts of lunar rock, which was brought back to Earth during several missions.

They make it sound like America was ransacking the moon temples!

Hey, this is GD, you don't get proper news here, it's more like a Charlie Brooker 'Wipe' program.

Apparently missing footage from the original landing (NASA says they deleted it for budgetary reasons)

Still, better than the papers themselfs though, with there totally misleading title and 5/6ths of the story. With 1/6 if that of the actual information.

The foot prints man they aren't on the moon any more so logic suggests no foot stepped on it.

Russia should come out with a press conference saying they have discovered planet X on a collision course with earth and America is keeping it from everyone that we will all die in 2016 for the lulz

didn't Stanley Kubrick direct the film and that's why he was killed so he couldn't blow the whistle on the Illuminati who have bases on the moon, hence why they had to fake the film!

The moon landing was real.

Aliens on the moon warned us not to come back under any circumstances go watch some docus

Not just that, NASA recently confirmed they are having trouble working out how to get through the van allen belt safely, suggesting again that they have never done it before.
Hardly surprising Russia want to investigate it.

The Apollo missions went through the belt unprotected. They knew the risks and decided to go anyway. The only people suggesting that they'd never done it before are the usually CT nutjobs. You may want to read this:
