A former chief of Russian space agency Roscosmos has voiced doubt over the authenticity of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing.
“About 10 years ago, when I worked in the government, I sent an official request to Roscosmos to provide me with documentary evidence of the Americans' stay on the moon,” Dmitry Rogozin said in a statement on Telegram on Sunday.
Rogozin said that he was “embarrassed” about the return of Soviet cosmonauts from space expeditions barely able to stand on their feet and undergoing long recoveries, while US astronauts crawled out of their lunar ships, in his words, “like cucumbers from the garden.”
Rogozin further said that he continued to search for evidence on the US landings on the Moon while working at Roscosmos, but said he could not find anything other than the “angry accusations” of some academics who claimed that he undermined Russia’s “sacred cooperation with NASA.”
Rogozin also said he received a call from a high-ranking official accusing him of "aggravating the international situation" with his doubts about the Apollo 11 landing.
“I did not undermine or aggravate anything, but only by virtue of my nature I tried to get to the bottom of the details and establish, at least for myself, the true state of affairs in the issue of exploration of the Moon by our competitors. It was not clear to me how the United States, at that level of technological development of the ‘60s in the last century, did what they still cannot do now,” Rogozin said…

America left the US lander and the lunar rover on the Moon. If a country liken BiBa or Russia wanted to disprove the landing they could send spacecraft in low orbit over the moon and take pictures of the area that was supposedly landed on being empty and trackless. That hasn’t happened which to me that is proof that the landings happened. Full stop.
The set where the moon landing was filmed is still there in southern Utah.
Well, of course he does. He’s a Russian propaganda-spreading POS.
“Russia’s former space chief doubts US landing on Moon”
For people who REALLY THINK that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine was ‘unprovoked...they’ll likely agree with this nutcase, also.
Uh, Dmitri, there's a bit of a difference between spending months in orbit and 10 or 11 days going to and from the moon.
Well, his space program certainly never did.
The Soviet Space Program was impressive. But what have they done since then?
Has our government ever lied to us?

How long were the Soviet missions? The longest Apollo mission was 12.5 days. Also there was more room to move around in an Apollo capsule and we had water landings while the Sovs landed in the desert.
India already has:
Apollo 11 landing site, from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter
Apollo 12 landing site.
Rogozin is a stupid blowhard who embarrasses his own engineers.

add penguins and jackalopes, and they have themselves a real tourist attraction... :)
Shows how perilous the Apollo 11 landing was, running out of fuel, and big craters nearby.
They picked Armstrong to command because he showed he had nerves of steel on Gemini 8.
Let’s just say the government has lost a lot of credibility since the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing. In the ensuing decades many people have become increasingly skeptical of what the U.S. government says. I don’t think there’s any question about that.
There are a lot of those “nutcases” out there—many of them have IQs significantly above yours—but keep it up with the namecalling.
It it feels good do it!

American picture of the Apollo 11 site, from LRO. You can see the same double crater as is seen in the Indian image, immediately down and to the left from the LEM. Image shows some of the other big craters in the vicinity. The faint gray lines are the astronauts' footprints.
You have convinced me that no fact or set of facts would convince you that US astronauts landed on the moon; which they did.
These pictures remind me of the “Face on Mars” silliness.
