  • I always felt that the most compelling argument that we did it was that faking it was too risky. If America faked it and the USSR went up and found no evidence that America got up there then that would have been impossible for America’s position on the global stage. Remember the Apollo missions happened during the Cold War. Irrefutable proof that America pretended to go to the moon would have been deeply damaging to idea that the might of capitalism was greater than the communists.

    America left lots of stuff up on the moon with the idea that someday someone would go back up and see it.

    It’s also not really a big deal if your friend doesn’t believe we went to the moon. What is their ignorance harming, really? They’re another cog in the great machine of capital and neither their intelligence nor wisdom is required to keep it spinning








  • It takes more than 1 good position to quantify as a good person. Are you really that shallow? If hypothetical famous cannibal and child rapist Joe Eatskids says that he is in favor of Palestinian liberation and religious freedom in every nation does that excuse his other crimes against humanity?
