many Americans think that N.A.S.A fakes the landing on the moon with technology that was available back then because we couldn't beat Russia in the Space war. do you think it was a fake or was it real?
-
real.
Modern American have become very gullible (witness: the Big 2012 Hoax, the Obama-was-not-born-in-USA Hoax, Trump-for-President Hoax, Fox-News-has-real-news hoax...).
It was almost true that we could not beat the Soviet Union (of which Russia was only one part) back then. But their leader of the Moon-shot program died in 1966 (Sergei Korolyov) and, after that, their manned lunar program started going all wrong. If Sergei had not died, they probably would have beat us by almost a year. Back in the late 1960s, we did not know Sergei had died.
When Neil took the famous first step in 1969, the Moon was over the Pacific Ocean. This means that the TV signal from Neil was visible to all the Soviet Radio Telescopes (even here, the TV image we got had to come through a radio-telescope in Australia).
VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) is a radio-astronomy technique that allowed radio-astronomy to become fare more accurate than visual astronomy. With it, it was possible to establish with great accuracy, the direction from which a signal arrived.
The technique was publicly demonstrated in 1967, and this was done outside the USA (it was done in the USA less than one month later), therefore it was not an American secret. ALL astronomers were aware of the technique; and we know that the Soviets were using it before the end of 1967.
With VLBI, they would be able to tell that the TV signal came from the Moon (and even from where on the Moon). If the signal had come from a satellite in orbit around Earth (or even from a studio in Hollywood), the Soviets would have known right away.
They would have been able to tell the world within an hour and, given their record in space exploration, the world would have believe them.
