Reasons For The Moon Landing Conspiracy
Officially, people reached the Moon and landed on its surface on July 20, 1969. It was a great media spectacle, which was not just the American victory in the Space Race against the former Soviet Union, but also the victory of the mankind.
Small Step…
We all believe the astronauts from the Apollo mission were successful and that Neil Armstrong actually uttered those famous words from the Earth’ satellite: “That is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. And how not to believe in that, especially if we know the whole event was broadcast live.
There are some people that still refuse to believe in the official story. For them, it was just one huge deception, which was directed by the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). All those scenes, soundtracks, samples from the Moon and rocket launching were fraud, these people consider.
If just any of this true, the famous landing on the Moon would be one of the biggest conspiracies in the history.
The whole avalanche of the suspicions has started after the Bill Kaysing’s book “We Never Went to the Moon…”, which was published in 1974, five years after the “landing”.
Some might ask why US government would make this show in the first place.
Serious Troubles
Firstly, all this could be connected with the mentioned Space Race or, in the other words, the Cold War. Americans were miles behind the Russians, who were already launched the first satellite (Sputnik), first living being (dog Laika), first men in the space (Yuri Gagarin) and the first woman in the space (Valentina Tereshkova).
Americans were far behind and they had to do something about it. The Apollo mission and the landing on the Moon were ideal opportunity, but extremely expensive and dangerous. According to some calculations, this mission has cost $ 30 billion!
The conspiracy theorists consider the cost and eventual technical problems were the main reasons for the manipulation. Whole mission could be accomplished in the studio, without billion dollars and risks.
The second reason could be in the Vietnam War. People were exhausted and government decided to do something about it. It seemed that launching was the ideal for that purpose.
T
hird cause should be sought in the technical problems, because NASA has had serious complication during the testing. Officials decided to stop further actions and to focus on the fake mission. As we said, failure just was not the option for the Americans.
Success
We all know those strange things about the shadows, light, camera angles, the flag moves…that were in the focus of the conspiracy. This is not the place for them.
All we have to know about this is the Americans have several reasons for the deception. Did they succeed? Well, think for the second. Who took the lead in the Space Race? Definitely the Americans. After the Apollo mission, nothing was the same. Whether the launching was in the studio or in the reality, USA has managed to be number one in the space missions.
