okay so I don’t really believe either side on this. I’m kind of skeptical on both sides. However, I enjoy considering possibilities.
First of all, there’s the possibility that the government was also duped and that NASA is an agency that siphons off billions from tax payers and lies about it’s true costs. Perhaps they could even work with the federal reserve who isn’t audited and has printing presses.
There’s also a much more far fetched idea that secret societies brainwash and recruit members and through those societies they erase people, fake deaths and come up with new aliases. Secret societies of this nature definately exists and freemasonry is a very large secret society with tons of influencial people involved, however I really doubt even an orginization with all of the supposed “secrets” could engineer something on this grand of a scale.
But lets not get out into left field here, and just stick to the possibility that a few people at NASA are acting alone here. I believe your statement about the fact that in a minimal conspiracy that NASA has to make a flight worthy rocket is wrong.
They would
1) Compartmentaize the process so most people are in the dark about what function they are doing. They build it parts at a time, and they build test rockets as well as real ones think about it.
2) Have the amatures, interns, and understudies told they’re building a test rocket, when they’re building the real thing which that way is much cheaper
3) Have those who know their stuff be told they are building a test rocket, which actually gets used in the real rocket. You essentially build 2 test rockets however those working on it believe that “the other team” was working on the real one. Since they only work at one part at a time and there’s a million people working for NASA it wouldn’t be that hard to keep everyone in the dark about the fact that there is no “real” rocket. Building 2 cheap “test” rockets that only need to go in orbit around the earth and come back and land would probably be much cheaper than
Additionally the costs can probably be overstated on every individual item and add up to a lot more.
The only real thing I find compelling is the radiation belt and how everyone believed that passing through it was next to impossible. I heard that the combined calculated probabilities of being able to not only pass through the radiation belt, but also land, eturn, and come down through the radiation belt again and then land, given the reported circumstances was something like less than 3%.
And why black and white cameras when they had color cameras in the spaceship. The video I attached has some compelling information.
