Once again, the Spectre of China haunts the US.

Heaven forbid that the Asiatic Hordes develop space technology!

    I did find the Chandrayaan 2 photo, comrade. There certainly is an… object there:

    The problem I have with photos like these is there just isn’t enough resolution to make a positive ID. There is a craft there, yes, but crafts (as well as “traces” of landings that the Chinese scientist mentions) are still consistent with the hypothesis that NASA sent an unmanned, one-way probe containing a retrofelector and a radio repeater.

      Did the unmanned probe drive around buggies all by itself? Leave a little bit of garbage here and there?

      That is not a hypothesis. It is a conspiracy that is talking out of its ass.

      Again, I am not sure if you can read Russian, but the Soviet space agency fully tracked the entire Apollo process from start to finish. They even had military units in the area of the astronaut touchdown. They followed it from start to finish, so where did NASA get the chance to sneak in astronauts during the process?

      Please stop. This is one of the stupidest conspiracies there is along with flat earth, and people who genuinely believe it are beyond stupid. I would also like to laugh at the US for something, but this isn’t it.

      Does this image from the Japanese flyover do anything for you? It’s a higher resolution and shows that those “object” perfectly line up with where they were set up by the astronauts and filmed, Siri the angles, distances, and directions all being correct. This is several hundred meters from the landing site they the astronauts traveled to.

      An unmanned probe doesn’t set up a bunch of scientific equipment by itself several hundred meters away from the landing zone.

      Actual landing zone better resolution.
