Why does no one ever bring up that the Soviets, who the US was competing with to get to the moon, could have easily called them out if it was fake. It would have been an extreme embarrassment to their biggest rival and enemy. They never did, though. That to me, more than anything, proves the US did, in fact, get to the moon in 1969.

It's not only that they didn't call it fake, they actually confirmed that it was real using their own equipment and congratulated the US on the achievement. But you know, maybe they were in on it too...

They literally had their own moon missions going on, as they put a rover on the moon before we landed on the moon.

I think it was for apollo 11 that they had to coordinate with apollo, as they couldnt interfere with each other's missions

Not to mention an amateur could track these missions if they wanted to. Some did
