Dmitry Rogozin says Russia will verify them
MOSCOW (AP) — The head of Russia's Roscosmos space agency has stated that a proposed Russian mission to the moon will be tasked with verifying that the American moon landings were real, although he appeared to be making a joke.
"We have set this goal to fly and verify whether they've been there or not," said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter.
Rogozin was once responding to a question about whether or no longer NASA truly landed on the moon nearly 50 years ago. He regarded to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding NASA's moon missions are frequent in Russia.
The Soviet Union deserted its lunar program in the mid-1970s after 4 experimental moon rockets exploded.
