That's enough evidence for me...

A resident of Perth, Australia, with the pseudonym Una Ronald, says she saw a Coke bottle in the frame which was edited out of later versions, and says that many articles appeared discussing this in The West Australian newspaper at the time. Western Australia was the only place in the world that got their feed 'live' without delay.


A primary reason for the race to the moon was the Cold War - a competition of worldwide political and economic status and influence between the US and the USSR that dominated the history of the 20th century. The Soviets, with their own competing moon program and a formidable scientific community able to analyze NASA data, could be expected to have cried foul if the USA tried to fake a Moon landing (Plait 2002:173), especially as they themselves had been unsuccessful in their own man-on-the-moon program. They would have scored enormous status in the eyes of the rest of the world by doing so. Conspiracy theorist Ralph Rene says that the USSR was bought off with secret shipments of grain.

I think that if our moon landing had been in anyway fake, the soviets would've been the first to snap up and distribute this information. And this was in the period of brezhnev before entente. He took any opportunity to embarass the united states, no matter the cost. Some soviet citizens skipping a meal or two would not be out of the ordinary to preserve pride. Finally, you would think the russian national archives would have a document two about the moon landing. "Hey Ivan, keep this under your hat, but the hated americans and thier moon program was a fake, but we're not going to tell, because they sent us some grain awile back." Conspiracy theorists are usually stupid. They are outsiders without expert or even basic knowledge of the events they weave together.
