There is currently a popular conspiracy theory that the moon landings were faked. I am curious to know what Mennonites think. My vote is "yes" men did walk on the moon.

It's an old conspiracy theory.

The show "Mythbusters" debunked some of the arguments.

I seem to recall any of the actual ways to prove the moon landing is out of the average man’s capability. I’ve seen a mile wide view with a telescope and I believe we did have the capability to do it. I suspect we did do it as Russia would have had every reason to call it out if we didn’t. Did we fake the first one? Maybe to beat the Russians.

Here's a Wikipedia article on third party verification of the moon landing.

Apparently, the Soviets monitored all of the moon systems. If the moon-landing was faked, they would have known.

I believe we did. And the earth is a sphere.

Yes, this.

It was also a "space race" and the Soviets would have had a field day discrediting the Americans had there been something to actually discredit.
