Even people ignorant of space technologies understand that then-level of technological and electronic development wouldn't allow to perform complicated space maneuvers
Forty years ago, American President John Kennedy urged the people to get united about the Moon landing idea: the USA wanted to win the space competition of the 1960s at any price to maintain the image of a superpower. This was a dispute on superiority of two social systems: the flourishing (as it seemed at that time) socialism and the "decaying" capitalism. The USSR experienced problems of its post-war period, what is more, the Soviet country had to suffer great spending in the arms race in order to be ready for a probable war against any of the former allies from the anti-Hitler coalition. Nevertheless, the USSR always managed to be ahead of rich America. It was the Soviet Union that first sent an artificial Earth satellite which meant undoubted advantage of the Soviet missile production. Already at that time it was clear that level of missile technologies would become the criterion of military superiority in the nearest future.
American felt very much nervous: they needed to save the prestige of the country. Right at that very time John Kennedy addressed the Congress and asked for $40 billion for realization of a Moon shuttle program. The sum was incredible for that time. The whole of the world heard sensational news on July 20, 1969: Americans flew to the Moon, walked around the unexplored planet, raised the American flag there and got back home with samples of the Moon soil. People of the Earth studied pictures with the exotic Moon landscape and watched documentary TV reports of the exciting adventure.
However, strange things showed up as soon as the first excitement caused by the flight to the Moon weakened. When researchers looked at pictures and filmed materials about the Mood expedition, they discovered some things that looked very strange. Some of the pictures revealed unnatural shades and sometimes even disagreed with the fundamental physics laws. American engineer Ralph Rene was the first who notices these faults: he declared that there was no Moon landing at all and that all pictures and films about the flight to the unexplored planet were a fake. He said that photos of that kind could be made in special pavilions on the Earth. British researchers even said that such films could be fabricated in Hollywood. What is interesting, only several tens of pictures about the Moon flight out of the total number of 13,000 pics held by the NASA were published in fact. Scientists and engineers studied all information concerning America's Moon flight more carefully and passed a severe verdict: flight of American astronauts to the Moon is just a carefully considered leg-pull.
