    Relative amateurs can bounce lasers off mirrors left on the moon by these missions.

    Imagine how many people would be in on keeping this secret, a few dozen at least. Every astronaut at the time. Someone would’ve said something in their old age.

    Even greater - the Soviet Union was watching like a hawk - they had spies in the US (as the US had too) - just imagine if they could even accuse the US of faking it.

      The documentary discuss your argument about Soviet Union accusing USA, and if I’m not mistaken the other two as well (there is been a time since I watched it, but I think they discussed every mainstream argument). The presence of the mirror is not a proof by itself, since it could have been placed by a rover (not sure if they had the tech for this, though). The part about being a secret difficult to hide is not a definitive proof either. Note that the documentary is not about proving it was fake; it’s about questioning the official history.

        So you’re telling me the Soviet Union wouldn’t have known, and wouldn’t have used that?

        Come on now.
