No, I think people who think we didn't go to the moon are either liars or stupid. Kaysing may well have been both.

obviously the oppressive propagandist have already effectively failed,,, their only remaining objective appears to be too subvert the invevitable disclosure for a tediously protracted interval regardless of the excessive quantities of elaborate doublethink & exceedingly convoluted explanations involved.. hence why this thread has endured for such duration ...

apparently that wasnt the only thing he believed:
N - How 'bout any actual atmosphere, like John Glenn in space, Yuri Gargarin - were they actually in space?
BK - I doubt it.
N - So the Soviet Union faked that Yuri Gargarin was in space, and that dog that died, Laika, really didn't die?
BK - Mmm...I don't think he was up there. See, there was a fellow by the name of Lloyd Mallin in the early '70s who wrote a very detailed book saying that all - well, nearly all - possibly all of the Soviet space exploits were faked, and he proved it with photographs and technical data and so forth. I still have a copy of that book.

he even believes NASA and the soviets couldnt even get man to LEO..

You don't understand his point here, that's the whole problem.
He isn't saying manned flights in LEO are/were impossible, but that some have likely been faked. Period.

A major factor you're forgetting is that actual lunar samples have been studied under electron microscopes, x-rayed and basically given ever test that geologists can think of an there has never been any question of their authenticity. This piece of petrified wood was put on display and a geologist could tell WITH THE NAKED EYE that it certainly wasn't a lunar sample (too big, wrong colour . . . it was a piece of petrified wood). Yes, according to you the US government could fake a lunar landing without leaving a single shred of evidence but they make a fake a moon rock that can be noticed as being fake by simply looking at it.

and he isnt saying some were faked.. he is saying that a large majority was faked, possibly ALL soviets missions.. so why do they need to fake more than one manned LEO if they had the rockets and equipment to do so?

Did NASA or other US ambassadors hand out plain moon rocks to other countries? It was my understanding that all the Nixon "gift rocks" were embedded in clear plastic spheres or hocky pucks.
I really don't think the DFMR conspiracy can prove that the moon landings were faked. The DFMR is a distraction.

I never liked the Dutch Fake Moon Rock (DFMR) conspiracy. I think it is a weak argument for the conspiracy side. We all know that the Nixon administration gave out moon rocks encased in clear plastic lucite something like this.
How did the Dutch get a moon rock that wasn't encased in plastic?

I agree much better evidence exists, in proving it was hoaxed. By that, I can see why you'd think of it as a distraction, when much stronger evidence exists, left aside.
However, I think it still helps the hoax argument, and weakens the Apollo-ites case.
A fake 'Apollo moon rock' is now known to exist, as a result..
