The fact that the USSR accepted the moon landing is a pretty strong peice of evidence that it was real. They had some of the best astronomers and rocket scientists in the world, and every political incentive to make the US look bad. They had too much integrity though, I can see the Russian capitalist regime questioning the moon landing regardless of the evidence, just to see if it would stick. Maybe the USSR would still be around if it played dirtier like that

assuming that the American and Soviet ruling class weren't secretly in cahoots with each other and creating fake animosity between their countries to keep their respective citizens scared and controlled

Imagine being this big of a liberal

The forces of global capitalism and the communist movement secretly being in cahoots to rule the world? Where have I heard that theory before?

The moon landing was real. The moon, however, was not. Step in to the cave of mysteriousness to take the next step.

the people who went to space first and plan on contacting aliens after waging nuclear war think the moon isn’t made of cheese

Someone should post the same tweet but change the year to one that there was no moon landing

Moon landing conspiracists are so sad.

NASA couldn't land on the Moon in 1969 because it was stolen in 1962 by Kaczyński brothers.
