      I wouldn't be so sure about that. In exposing the fraud the soviets would have cast doubts on their own space program. It would have been of no benefit to them. It's not unusual for nations in conflict to cooperate with their enemies if it's mutually beneficial. An example of that would be the Antarctic treaty, which the Soviets signed up for along with the US.

The use of barcodes was still to be 5 years in the future. The student in trigonometry class was still using a slide rule and the internet was science fiction. IBM would offer a magnetic "hard drive", the 2305 Drive, with an enormous capacity of 5.4 MB the next year in 1970. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPAnet) delivered its first message from one computer to another, albeit incompletely, in 1969. The message was supposed to read "LOGIN" but only the first two letters were successfully transmitted before the system crashed. People got their news from newspapers, delivered to their homes either in the early morning or late afternoons, or both. There was no such thing as computerized automobiles or engines, everything was mechanical and analogue. Digital watches were still 6 years in the future. 1n 1969, Sesame Street debuts on National Education Television, the precursor to the Public Broadcasting Service. Also in that same year on February 9, the first Boeing 747 jumbo jet takes off from a Boeing field in Everett, Washington and flies to New York City. Most of the 191 people on board were reporters and photographers. On March 2 in Toulouse, France, the Concorde takes its first test flight. The Beatles record Abbey Road, their final album together all on magnetic analog tape.

These unaccomplished people desperately WANT that level of experience, but it is forever beyond them- and it _hurts_. By making outlandish claims these losers think they can be significant, but sadly only underscore how pathetic they truly are. At a science fiction con I got buttonholed by an antigravity fruitloop and I cut him off at the knees. "What evidence do you have? Can you suspend a device in a vacuum chamber, in a Faraday cage and Helmholz coil, and make it hang off plumb? If you can't can't show direct, measurable results you're just handwaving and running your mouth."
      The poor sorry schmuck had never been directly challenged- and after he slunk away several people thanked me for shutting him down- "That's all he ever talks about! It's annoying!"
      These people have never been, and never will be, in the arena:
      "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

    On a low earth orbit you orbit the earth 16 times/day. And as you are so low, you see only a rather small part of the surface (a circle of 2,600 km radius),
    That means in one 90-minute-orbit you have to switch at least 8 times between ground stations. Probably way more.
    When you travel in a more straight line to the moon, in 100,000 km distance you can see almost the whole earth surface. So you have to switch maybe 4 times a day, and not 130+ times.

    The most obvious issue with this entire claim, to me, comes right there at the beginning. If they'd put a camera fairly close to the window(ignoring the square part), and then "inset a crescent-shaped piece of material", then the terminator line would be sharp. The material is close to the camera, and so any "shadow" could not be diffused in the manner we see. Even focusing on the earth would not create that diffusion, that could only happen with light hitting the edge of the object, and reflecting in greater or lesser degree in the atmosphere.
    So, it cannot be this "crescent-shaped" object.

    who followed every detail and everything happened on schedule, until Armstrong took manual control to avoid boulders in the landing area.
    In addition, the Soviet Union was also following the mission and would have been the first moon landing deniers, if they had found any flaw in the transmissions.

    So again, less-witted people failed to grasp the sheer size of the Earth. They tend to think that just because the spacecraft is in "space," the Earth would look really small from there. It simply isn't. Compared to the Earth's radius of 6,400 km, the low Earth orbit, such as the ISS orbit of 420 km, is relatively short distance - which explains why only a tiny fraction of Earth is visible in photos and videos taken from ISS.

If you shrank the earth to the size of a tennis ball the moon (which would be smaller than small rubber ball) would still be roughly 8 feet apart. There is no way to get trick shots using practical effects like paper stops and what not in a space the size of the Apollo 11 module to get the images we see, and if they were faked they would have to have been in post production editing, or in a very large studio/filming area.

    My favorite part is when Buzz sucker-punched Bart Sibrel in the face for calling him a coward.

      It was the punch seen all around the world . The famous Buzz Aldrin Knuckle Sandwich.

      Yes and then when Sibrel tried to have Buzz charged with assailt, it got tossed with a comment that strongly hinted he got what he deserved.
