>>11254135>But what if the "conspiracy" is in place to protect the public from riots, etc?It would still require just as many people "in on it" as previously stated. NASA alone hires thousands of engineers, many of them are in crucial positions and would need to have inside information in order to do their job properly. Yet after all the decades, after all the layoffs NASA has went through after Apollo, not ONE person spilled the beans out of spite or out of a sense of duty for the people? Or even on accident? Or on their deathbed?
What about the Soviets? They would need to work with the US in a way that would've been uncharacteristic of them during the height of the Cold War. They would've had all the needed information to expose the US for faking the moon landing, yet they didn't despite that the US was using the moon landings to humiliate the Soviets. Or what about when the US was gripped by the Sputnik scare? That would've been an easy way to both calm their citizens and to humiliate their enemy.
What about all of the people who work in spaceflight privately or independently? Like all of the companies who need space services or offer it themselves. They would be upset if their expensive satellites aren't actually being put into space. And they hire their own professionals and they all would eventually catch on in the hoax. Or what about amateur astronomers deeply, they didn't notice anything suspicious?
Simply put, the fake space conspiracy would simply be too large to function properly and wouldn't even survive a day in modern times. Your theory is simply a fantasy.
