Over a half of all Russians believe that US astronauts have never been on the Moon and that the US authorities and NASA covered up this fact by forging proof of moon landings, a new poll shows. In the recent survey titled “Science and society: authority and trust” experts of the Russian state-run public opinion research center VTSIOM wrote that 57 percent of Russians currently think that the US claims of successful manned Moon missions are lies and that the documented proof of these missions was forged. Less than 50% [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Many Americans aren’t stupid either but they are too ashamed to admit it. Fox actually had a wonderful documentary that challenged the official landing stories and discrepancies in many of the videos from the alleged moon missions. [ link to www.clavius.org] Anyway, is it surprising that the citizens of the country we beat to the moon would want to live in denial that we beat them? To me it sure isn't. Hell, even I still hold a grudge that the Soviets "cheated" the first manned spaceflight by having Yuri eject before the capsule hit the ground. That was against Fédération Aéronautique Internationale rules, and they kept that detail of his planned (and executed) bailout concealed for 4 months after the flight. They had to change the rules in order for Yuri to keep his FAI record after he revealed he ejected from the vehicle during its final descent. It wasn't until later that the Soviets perfected their retro rockets for slowing down their capsules right before they impacted the ground, making it safe for cosmonauts to land inside their capsules rather than bailing out.
