I understand the necessity of the 'space hoax' in FE (I will not deign to use FET as it in no way reaches theory, is it barely an hypothesis) to demonstrate that all the photos are faked etc.
However, the idea that America and the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War, merely a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, would lie to the world Togetherabout space travel, boggles the mind. Stepping even further into the abyss, the lie would have had to been continued for decades, by several countries, some often openly hostile to each other, and by tens of thousands of people. Some current technologies e.g. global positioning, require satellites. I have even seen a posting by a FEer using the photos of the ISS moving across the face of the sun to argue the size of the Sun.
I wish I could say I look forward to the responses, but I do not. I will however read them and respond if I see fit.
