Default Russia space agency promises to check whether US moon landings really happened

The head of Russia’s national space agency has proposed a mission to
the moon to verify whether the American moon landings really took
place.

Dmitry Rogozin responded to a question about whether Nasa’s Apollo
programme actually put men on the moon back in the 1960s and 1970s
during a conversation with the president of Moldova, Igor Dodon.

He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering.
But conspiracies surrounding Nasa’s moon missions are common in
Russia.

In a video of their interaction, posted to his 815,000 Twitter
followers, Mr Rogozin says: “We have set this objective to fly and
verify whether they’ve been there or not”.

Nasa’s six well-documented official manned missions to the surface of
the Moon, beginning with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in
July 1969 and continuing with Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt in December
1972, have been dogged with conspiracy theories.

Vladimir Markin said an enquiry should be launched into the
disappearance of original footage from the first moon landing in 1969
and the whereabouts of lunar rock, which was brought back to Earth
during several missions.

“We are not contending that they did not fly [to the moon], and simply
made a film about it,” he wrote in an op-ed published by Russian
newspaper Izvestia.

“But all of these scientific – or perhaps cultural – artefacts are
part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a
trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened.”

The Soviet Union abandoned its own lunar programme in the mid-1970s
after four experimental moon rockets exploded.

Earlier in November, Mr Rogozin revealed plans to start building a
base on the moon after 2025, with the project exceeding the US Apollo
programme of the 1960s and 1970s in terms of scale. The programme will
put its first humans on the moon by 2030 or 2031.




What a shame! No, not that the dumbasses of
the world still believe the horse**** from this
cottage industry of conspiracies...

The shame is that, try as you leftist pussies
might, you'll never be able to figure out a
way to blame it on Trump - either way. Well, I
know you WILL TRY. Go ahead and look like the
marxist fools you are.

Further, the Russkies are finally going to do
something that has already been done more than
HALF A CENTURY AGO. Oh, and how nice it is that
Merkins "owe" moon rocks to "the world."
Yeah. We need to re-supply the world with moon
rocks that have been stolen by Russkie thieves.

**** 'em. Go get yer own, broke-assed commies.
