    Abandoned Soviet lunar lander. Most people don’t realize how close the Soviets were to beating the US to the moon.

      Close? No way.

      They never successfully built a rocket that could go there. And they gave up after 4 attempts blew up.

      And that death trap shown above would have most likely failed as well. They had to cut a lot of corners that even NASA at the time found were unacceptable.

      I mean, obviously they didn’t use enough curtain rods and Reynolds wrap. Hell, how can you survive the perils of ‘space’ with out at least 3 rolls of aluminum foil?

      Antony Sutton had some solid research regarding Western transfers of tech and funding to the former Soviet Union.

      Sutton writes:

      **”Soviets in the Air**

      *Before we got the (U.S.) guidance systems we could hardly find Washington with our missiles. Afterwards we could find the White House.*

      *Without U.S. help the Soviet military system would collapse in 1 1/2 years.*

      — Avraham Shifrin, former Soviet Defense Ministry official
      ^p.67

      “Unfortunately, **NASA and U.S. planners have a conflict of interest. If they publish what they know about the backwardness and dependency of the Soviet space program, it reduces the urgency in our program.** This urgency is vital to get Congressional funds. **Without transfers of technology the U.S. is in effect racing with itself,** not a very appealing argument to place before Congress.”

      If anyone wants to see an indication that the “Space Race” was orchestrated, just compare the timelines of US and Soviet achievements in aerospace. You’ll see that the USSR was ahead in all aspects with record after record… then suddenly quit for no apparent reason.

      Another indication is that at the time JFK gave his famous speech about the goal of landing on the Moon, the American record for Moon missions was appalling. They had barely got anything to crash into the Moon, let alone with a person in it, let alone returning that person to the Earth.

      Most people don’t seem to know that the moon landings never happened.

      Ironically there is and always has been constant travel to and from the moon for a few thousand years, but not using the newtonian physics that the science fundamentalists would have you believe.

      So theirs looked better and still doesn’t look space worthy compared to our tin foil POS lander…..lol

      Okay, yeah, we went to the moon.
