The middle is where the truth is...

Ever hear that phrase, the truth is often somewhere in the middle.
I think it's entirely possible the U.S. faked the first moon landing as part of a C.I.A or some other agencies grand plan to stop the Russians from having a dominate chess move over the U.S.
However, that said, I think they eventually went there, the next moon landings were the real ones. A lot of obvious evidence exists that this *beep* is doable today, besides the large group of astronauts or cosmonauts or whatever who said they went to space. I don't think that many people from that many nations would lie about that haha, and the fact they're live feeds you YouTube from space stations. Anyway as for this movie, *beep* was I disappointed to find out it was a movie, I wanted this to be a doc so bad. *beep*. I want to believe.

But Seriously Your Opinion Is Wrong

We've heard the phrase and it's an enormous simplification. More accurately, the truth may be somewhere in between two opposite views; it may well be very close to one view. 'The middle' is compromising, so you don't have to dig any further. Kinda lazy.

I find it mindbogling that one can think the first moon landing has a different reality than the others. That feels like hanging on to a busted theory by twisting a previous stated view.
The four months between Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 make this a silly argument. The tech is the same. The mission were similar. They were both equally real.

And yet, some of the things remain incredible: such as the 1) (no) landing crater and 2) no dust on the legs. Right?! o.0

... Most, if not all, of the other evidence points to the US having had gone; @https://lightsinthedark.com/2014/05/22/no-the-moon-landings-werent-faked-and-heres-how-you-can-tell/

The descent stage of Eagle can be seen in this LRO image, along with tracks and experiment packages. (NASA/LRO/Arizona State University)

^^ This, however, remains one of the problems... My biggest gripe is that we are UNABLE to SEE ANYTHING on the Moon, meh. Where are the galleries of (real!) photos?! Original, non-doctored, ones? As, in: not contemporary, digital, fakes.

Who has a telescope capable of seeing?! Can we use it - remotely, over the Internet; would that be possible?? :))

Are there any scientists around, anyone who has observed all of the equipment on the Lunar surface?! Were those vehicles and the gear remotely operated, robots?!?? Who's got the links and the evidence?.. Are these real, https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/video17.html

^^ When were they FIRST published & had they been available - immediately after the mission(s); broadcast on television?!?? Anybody whose parent watched it, live?? :-0

(Can I get a witness, lolz)

The truth is somewhere in the middle is a well-established fallacy.

"Vladimir Bukovsky points out that the middle ground between the Big Lie of Soviet propaganda and the truth is itself a lie, and one should not be looking for a middle ground between disinformation and information.[2] According to him, people from the Western pluralistic civilization are more prone to this fallacy because they are used to resolving problems by making compromises and accepting alternative interpretations, unlike Russians who are looking for the absolute truth."
