"The" Moonlandings are fake/not fake. I hate it. There were quite a few. I believe [just because of knowing what governments are capable of] that the FIRST moonlanding was fake, and all the others were real.
They had 9 months from paper plans to actually go to the Moon in order to get to be ahead of the Russians. In 9 months they designed, build the module and rocket, calculated the flight pathm, programmed the on board computers, developed the materials and then flew there and back without a hitch. < YEAH RIGHT!
Something that we somehow can't replicate today. I heard that NASA needs years [10 was a number I remember] nowadays to plan for a new Moon visit. With all our modern technology and knowledge. Why? Just take the old plans, it worked like a treat...

I watched about a dozen videos of his speeches/him speaking, and it fooled me. The face is close too...at least to my eyes.
On the subject of the moon landings...I'm pretty torn. I don't think we're capable of doing it today. Not sure how we did it back then.

So you are under the impression that they landed in 1964? I think you need to read at least a little history.
In 1966, two cosmonaut training groups were formed. One group was commanded by Vladimir Komarov and included Yuri Gagarin, and was to prepare for qualification flights of the Soyuz in Earth orbit and a Proton-launched cis-lunar mission (Gagarin, Nikolayev, Komarov, Bykovskiy, Khrunov; Engineer-Cosmonauts: Gorbatko, Grechko, Sevastyanov, Kubasov, Volkov). Komarov later died in the Soyuz 1 spaceflight when his parachute malfunctioned causing his capsule to smash into the earth at high speed. The second group was led by Alexei Leonov and concentrated on the landing mission (Commanders: Leonov, Popovich, Belyayev, Volynov, Klimuk; Engineer-cosmonauts: Makarov, Voronov, Rukavishnikov, Artyukhin). As a result, Leonov has the strongest claim to have been the Soviets' first choice for first man on the moon. After Komarov's death in Soyuz 1 in 1967, Gagarin was taken out of training and the groups were restructured. Despite the Soyuz 1 setback, the Soviets successfully rehearsed the automated docking of two unmanned Soyuz craft in Earth orbit in 1968 and with the manned Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 joint mission in early 1969 tested the other key mission elements. A total of 18 missions were related to the N1-L3 project.

...You can check the dates there yourself. The russians were very advanced in 1968 [I still don't know where you got 1964 from - but hey] I am sooooo sorry it is from wikipedia as it must be completely wrong of course. Sod history.
