The Apollo missions were not faked

This position holds that the Apollo Moon landings were genuine, not faked. It argues a hoax on that scale was impossible, that the rival Soviet Union would have eagerly exposed any fakery, and that abundant physical evidence confirms NASA sent people to the Moon.

Supporting arguments · 3

  1. There is no possible way that the moon expeditions could have been faked
    If you study the circumstances surrounding the moon landing, there is plausible evidence that it happened. Being a historical event, it was recorded and tested by scientists and historians.
  2. Physical evidence supports that NASA sent people to the moon to explore
    The astronauts brought lunar rocks back from their expedition which was verified by various agencies to not be of terrestrial origin. The astronauts also left physical evidence of their presence on the moon, which proves that the moon landing was real.
  3. The Soviet Union would have denounced the fake
    If the Soviet Union's space programs had any reason to believe that the landings were fake, they would have shared them.
