I have no idea what "turth" is; is that related to "turd"?
I have no idea whether the landing on the moon was real or not. Regardless, if not for the government monopoly on space exploration for almost the entire time that humanity has had the technology to go into space since the mid-20th century, we'd probably have lunar colonies by now. For reference, study the history of finding the Northwest Passage a century earlier (in the mid-19th century) and the polar explorations half a century earlier (in early 20th century): the government anointed missions were hugely expensive undertakings involving hundreds (if not thousands) of people and ultimately tragic for the proud recipients of government funding . . . whereas the privately funded missions were carried out with a handful of men, getting the job done on shoe-string budgets and with minimum fuss.
