I would be willing to say that the results would be very simliar in most
countries.

Yanks are often blinded by patriotism.  Although I should note that this
whole moon hoax bullshit actually came from the US.

If the yanks didn't actually go to the moon wouldn't the Russians have
exposed them?  I mean during the time they went there the US and Russia
hated each others guts and wanted the other one gone.

Imagine the propaganda the Soviets would've got if they exposed the US for
faking a moon mission.  Why didn't they then, becuase they wouldn't be
able to make it stick.

Why couldn't they make it stick?  Because the US actually did go there.

There are many that think it is possible to go to the moon.

Worship moon rocks.  That's a new one.

Actually in all likelyhood no one has much chance of going to heaven since
it most likely doesn't exist except in the minds of some crazies.

As for going to the moon.  There's a good chance that I might be able to
go there in my lifetime.

Oh and don't assume we're yanks.  It doesn't matter what country a person
is from, if they're intelligent they won't believe the moon hoax theory.

They believed in something that was absurd that much is certain.

Denied what?

Probably because they are planning to send only unmanned robots for the
time being but that they want to send humans eventually.

A hell of a lot actually.

Things learnt in school are generally believed for a persons life.
Particulary if they don't question it.

You have a source for this assertion?
