As we all know, the entire premise of this website is that NASA is a fraudulent entity. Nothing said or given by NASA or its collaborators is to be trusted. The American Government has great incentive to portray the illusion of space travel. It is this from which it derives its power. America and its allies take great pains to spread its propaganda, and to discredit the achievements of its enemies.
If it were found that the American Government does not actually possess the technology necessary to travel into space, it takes no length of the imagination to realize that the American Government could not create a Nuclear tipped intercontinental ballistic missile and send it into space and half way around the world at any moment as claimed. By knowing this, countries such as China would reevaluate its militaristic strategies and seriously consider invading America or her allies in the next international dispute. Therefore, guarding the secret of space exploration is a high priority.
At the time of Apollo, the Soviet Union had five times more manned hours in space than the US. They had achieved:
1. First manmade satellite in orbit (October 1957, Sputnik 1).
2. First living creature to enter orbit (November 1957, Sputnik 2).
3. First to safely return living creature from orbit, two dogs Belka and Strelka, 40 mice, 2 rats (August 1960, Sputnik 5).
4. First man in space (April 1961, Vostok 1).
5. First man to orbit the Earth (April 1961, Vostok 1).
6. First to have two spacecraft in orbit at the same time aand first to conduct a spave rendezvous (August 1962, Vostok 3 and Vostok 4).
7. First woman in space (June 1963, Vostok 6, as part of a second dual-spacecraft flight including Vostok 5).
8. First crew of three astronauts on board one spacecraft (October 1964, Voskhod 1).
9. First spacewalk (EVA) (March 1965, Voskhod 2).
Later on the American side of the fence, on January 27, 1967, three astronauts aboard Apollo 1 died in a fire on the launch pad during training. The fire was triggered by a spark in the oxygen-rich atmosphere used in the spacecraft test, and fueled by a significant quantity of combustible material within the spacecraft. Two years later all of the problems were declared fixed. We here at the Flat Earth Society believe that the accident led NASA to conclude that the only way to 'win' the space race was to fake space travel entirely. In any case, the first manned Apollo flight, Apollo 7, allegedly occurred in October, 1968, just 21 months after the fire.
In a mere 21 months after a catastrophic disaster, America had apparently caught up with decades of Russian research. Less than a year later, in July of 1969, America achieved the profound and spectacular technical capacity to send man to the moon. On the television screens far and wide, man was seen to have touched down on the moon.
However, in this thread my intention is not to analyze the Apollo missions. That has been done. NASA maintains several websites and has created a number of documentaries which battles allegations of a Conspiracy. It's a propaganda war of which one cannot win. America has a virtually unlimited budget. They make the money, after all. Since 1914 America's overspending on such projects has decreased the dollar's value by over one thousand fold.
When a new discrepancy in an Apollo image is found NASA frenzies to delete, modify, or fix the problem. If a sensitive or incriminating document is leaked to the internet or the press, the country utilizes its massive power to hush the issue by threatening ISPs and Media outlets with prosecution. America treats the NASA Conspiracy as if secrecy was as sensitive as its Nuclear secrets. That much is known, at least.
Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, tells us that he recalls witnessing an absolutely beautiful star scape above the earth. Other Russian astronauts give us this account as well. This is in direct contradiction with NASA photographs. In all of its media not one single star is visible. NASA's astronauts themselves give personal statements that the stars were not visible in orbit around the earth, or upon landing on the moon.
There is a clip in a documentary called "Moon Faker" where an astronaut personally states that the stars were not visible in orbit. This documentary is available on YouTube. The documentary also verifies that, in direct contradiction, Yuri Gagarin indeed saw a beautiful vivid starscape from orbit.

Oddly enough, the author of this post finds that it is virtually impossible to find images from the Soviet space program. I've spent the last week looking far and wide for Russian images of the earth from space. In the billions of dollars the Russians spent to get into space, they must have brought a camera along with them, surely. It's absolutely inconceivable that the Russians would neglect to bring a camera. There should exist beautiful vivid pictures of the earth in abundance. My conclusion is that either the Soviet space program was also faked, or its pictures are hidden from the eye of the American public due to obvious inconsistencies. It's well known that the federal government imparts certain regulations upon search engines such as Google and Yahoo. There are various clauses on what they can and cannot index.
The closest Soviet space image I could find is
this image of the Soyuz 3 in space. You will notice that the image is not hosted in America. Upon analysis, this image portrays a starry background and an elliptical horizon. This is certainly different than anything NASA presents. The picture seems to have been scanned from a newspaper or magazine.
Is anyone able to find a picture of the earth taken by the Soviet Space Program?
