>They went to the moon but knew the footage was likely going to be destroyed by radiation
ehhh knew likely? what? did they know or not? did they take a camera when they did go and it wiped? didn't the eventual original telemetry tapes get written over anyway?

yes, sort of, again the global governments of both the United States and the Soviet Union both had Jewish leaders via the diaspora and some semblances of the space race was a ruse between the empires that weren't ever really at war just cold/propaganda/proxy wars, however; if you do not believe this I understand. Those not aware of last names and families will never see.
