I’m not a moonlanding conspiracy theorist myself, but in their defense I think the main critique wasn’t that it isn’t possible, but that NASA didn’t have the technical prowess to pull it off in 1969
“We were all there… we were receiving the signals from the Moon, we were seeing the television. To think it was faked is a complete lack of knowledge of the technology of the time.”
- Alexei Leonov, the first human to walk in space and the man the USSR chose to lead their own lunar landing attempt.
If there were even a shred of doubt about the authenticity of the moon landing, the Socialist bloc would’ve be announcing it loud enough for the world to hear.

Of course. I’m not denying it at all. It happened. I’m just saying i’m pretty sure the main critique was the technology of the time.
