Lol guys.. whats the point.

The US should be praised either way. If it was faked, then that was the one of the best moves ever to attempt to end the cold war. If it wasn't then it was one of the greatest milestones in history.

Either way it is a win/win situation, and I'm sure we can all agree that travel to the moon, and even mars now, is quite possible, so why spend countless hours thinking about it?
