That just proves my point......
No, it doesn't prove your point, it demonstrates that you completely
missed mine.
I'm saying that for your fraud theory to be true, the Soviets would have
had to remain silent all the while we carried it out. While we
"pretended" to send Apollo 8 and 11-17 to the moon, the Soviets, who
damn well were tracking our every movement in space, would have had to
say nothing and let us go on with the charade and let us get away with
our fraudulent claim that we won the race.
The Soviets had just launched Sputnik, Not
only was America, in an arms race, we were also in a space race. During
that time, the Russians were kicking American ass when it came to space.
All of the sudden we go to the moon.
The Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957, Kennedy made his challenge to put
a man on the moon by the end of the decade in 1961, and we did so in
1969. "All of a sudden," indeed!
