What are your thoughts.
DO NOT KILL THE MESSENGER
It seems to me that the one Nation that would have had a vested interest in proving the moon landings were fake is the former USSR or today, Russia. If there were any real evidence that the landings were fake they would have been all over it like a rash. But, being one of the only other nations to land a vehicle on the moon (although not any people), they would be in the best position to argue against the evidence, which they don't seem to have ever done.
If the moon landings were/are a conspiracy then the Ruskies seem to be in on it and must have been during the cold war... which is a whole other conspiracy <cue 'Twilight Zone' theme>.
