“Heck, thats no different from the moon landing that we faked on a Burbank sound stage!”
This actually reminds me of something this story made me wonder. If it would be so easy to fake a moon landing, like some assert, then why didn’t the Russians do it before us? They didn’t seem to have a problem deceiving the world in regards to other aspects of their space program.
Lots of connections between the followers of both symbols:
The Russians have had a couple other landings hundreds of miles away from the planned landing spot. One was in 2008.

The real scandal about Gagarin’s landing is that, apparently, he had to parachute out of the capsule by design. This would have disqualified him from some of the international flight awards and records because they require successful take off and landing IN the craft.

Thanks MM.
And we're scrapping the US space shuttle program so our astronauts can hitch a ride on Russian spacecraft?
