As with other Apollo missions providing TV coverage from the spacecraft, informal visits with the astronauts were highly scripted, using cue cards. Second moon walker Edwin Aldrin suggested the United States Information Agency scripted Apollo Eight's Bible reading and Neil Armstrong's first words from the lunar surface. Whether Armstrong said "That's one small step for man," or "a man", as he intended (with the article "a" lost to static), has never been resolved. The blurry black and white images of Armstrong jumping onto the lunar surface and the short surface explorations by Armstrong and Aldrin are widely regarded as television's first, and perhaps greatest, example of unifying a massive worldwide audience in common wonder and hope.

Such as, off the top of my head, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. I hear they didn't like the US much.

Im sure any country or newspaper that wrote articles dismissing the moon landings as fake, was probably put under pressure by the US.
Please provide some evidence for this opinion. Most countries weren't exactly bending over backwards to please the USA in those days.

Whatever you say, good fellow! It wasn't ME who destroyed the telemetry data of mankind's "greatest " achievement... You see there are different levels of evasion... destroying evidence by incompetence is one.
All of Shakespeare's original manuscripts were eventually used to wrap buns or start fires. What's your point?
Did you say Shakespeare? I've got a Shakespear for you DJ. You will # your pants. My apologies to your dry cleaners. Nixon's Presidential Diary from July 17th 1969:

Come SJ, what do you got for us? Westinghouse, Shakespeare, CBS, Golf of Tonkin, Noel, you are about to tie it all up right? Right?

You are actually claiming that the cold war never happened? It was all faked then? You have any proof or are you just typing random things hoping noone notices???

Well it was a great excuse to spend taxpayers money and they did,
by the truck load.
..the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Cost Study Project ... set out to determine the comprehensive costs of America's nuclear weapons program from 1940 to 1996, including the cost of research and development, production, deployment, delivery systems, infrastructure, storage and cleanup.
It took four years of sifting through government records, many of them previously classified, and doing rigorous analysis to come up with the bottom line: $5.5 trillion dollars. If future cleanup, stockpiling and dismantlement is included, that rises to $5.8 trillion. Even with the Cold War over, the United States is spending $35 billion a year—14 percent of the defense budget, or $96 million a day—on nuclear efforts of which about $25 billion goes for operation and maintenance of the nuclear arsenal. The rest is spent on cleanup, arms control verification, and ballistic missile defense research. Source www.brookings.edu...

Surgeries were performed on the flight and control animals to implant the sensors described earlier. Other preflight surgical procedures included tail amputation, incisor tooth extraction, testicular biopsy, and anal suturing.
Shakespeare was president of CBS Television in New York from 1950 to 1969 when he was appointed by President Richard Nixon as director of the United States Information Agency.
Why didn't the USSR like USA? Did they ever fight a war head to head?
Do you see how your combined comments above falls far, far short of any credible analysis?
Nixon born a Sun Capricorn. But his Chinese astrological sign is :
WATER RAT
I'm still digging. I'm was looking at reasons to explain why Nixon wouldn't show up for the Apollo 11 launch.
And you avoided both questions.
This is how NASA does science. They tortured a monkey and a few weeks later Apollo 11 lands on the Moon.
Here is a ton of pictures linking Walter Cronkite, CBS Evening News anchor, with the Apollo TV operations at Honeysuckle Creek, correction Goldstone, a mere 12 days before the big show.

I'm sorry, I don't see how race is relevant. Unless, of course, you were trying some juvenile trick to paint me as a racist.

In the case of people not believing a moon landing happened there may be a perceived mis-match between the evidence and what they either logically expect to find there, or what their intuition tells them should be. ... Then later when new evidence is presented this initially formed opinion, and the multitudes of additional information accrete to it over time. [sic]"
