"We were all there... we were receiving the signals from the Moon, we were seeing the television. To think it was faked is a complete lack of knowledge of the technology of the time."
- Alexei Leonov, the first human to walk in space and the man the USSR chose to lead their own lunar landing attempt.

If there were even a shred of doubt about the authenticity of the moon landing, the Socialist bloc would've be announcing it loud enough for the world to hear.
