Did not read the previous threads on this subject but I happened to discuss this lately with a friend who believes it was all faked.
For myself I do not believe it was faked for this reason. Having lived through the time I remember there was great competition between the USA and the SOVIET UNION in the 'space race.' Now does anybody think that the Soviets went along with a fraud that put them out of the space race and gave all glory to the USA? The Soviet Union's NASA, whatever it was called, must have been well able to trace the rockets, satellites and moon attempts, so they would have been able to track the rocket said to be the one that landed men on the moon. Now if there was no such rocket, and they had proof of that, I have no doubt this fraud would have been used by the Russians to HUMILIATE the USA at the time and even today.
But no, there was no such revelation, leading me at any rate to believe men did get to the moon and back.
