Russia Continues to Surpass Americans in the Space Race

Cosmonauts May Soon Add Another One to the Russian Space List of Firsts
 
On July 25, 1969, many Americans watched their televisions in awe as astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and said, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."  Americans were amazed at what advances in technology had produced: a man on the moon.  Ticker tape parades greeted returning astronauts.  America had proven itself a leader in the space race.

Lately, some have begun to suggest that this was not the case at all; some people have suggested that America never made it to the moon and that it was
just an illusion made with trick photography.  Bart Sibrel is one of those people.  He made a video called, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon," in which he provides much documentation to suggest that man has yet to walk on the moon.  Is this possible?  Could have America faked the entire moon landing?

On first thought, it might sound ludicrous for many--to think that man has not walked on the moon.  After all, it would require such a grand conspiracy that, certainly, someone who was privy to such information would have spoken.  Nevertheless, there are those who are skeptical of this moon-walking. 

Surprisingly, some of the ideas presented by them are not as preposterous as they might sound.  Based on surveys, it has been estimated that between 6 and 20 percent of Americans do not believe a man actually walked on the moon.  Are 6-20 percent of Americans fools, or are they a little brighter than the rest?

In order to fully understand the claim that man did not walk on the moon, the events leading up to this event that most Americans consider an historic fact must be re-examined and scrutinized.  We must go back in time, when the space race between Russia (or the Soviet Union, as it was known then) first started.  By doing this, I feel that you will better understand the arguments both for and against the claim of man walking on the moon.

What I present here may shock many fellow Americans, as we generally view our nation and its space exploration program as being, by far, superior to that of all other nations.  After all, we were the first nation to have "a man walk on the moon" (or so we believe).  While this might possibly be true that America was the first nation to have a man walk on the moon (though there is evidence to suggest otherwise).  As difficult as it may be for many to admit, this appears to be the only "first" America had in the great space race.
