Hoax fans neglect to consider how many governments, their spies and their telescopes were monitoring those flights; in addition to 99% of the telescopes located in astronomy centers across the Earth? The “Cold War” was at its peak, so you can be certain the Soviets and Red China would have been THRILLED to catch the USA “faking anything” so monumental?

I am “beyond skeptical” when it comes to our government. But, not at all regarding the Moon landings… no way.
