Why? Like I said, for the prestige and psychological boost of being first. They would then keep it a secret because that's where their power resides, in their secrets. You can't hide from the sun in a glass house, unless you paint it black.

Ok...and hypothetically, if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin decided to collaborate on a book which blew the cover off the conspiracy, exposing the secret that they'd never been to the moon and everything was actually faked in a studio, then what? What sort of retaliation do you think would occur? Also, I'd like to know just who it is that is keeping this all a secret? Presidents and Congress, as well as cabinet members, CIA operatives, all of them come and go. Some of them are no longer alive. Who exactly is it that is keeping this all a big secret?

Maybe the president dosn't know...... politicians are  temporary figure heads afterall(albeit ones with power)


Do ya think there could be others that work behind the sceens?

Well, they're both FREEMASONS who have taken oaths of secrecy (seriously). Plus, they believe that the LIE is for the good of all mankind, or at least America. They have no motive for revealing the hoax, except for perhaps on their death bed confessions. And even then, I highly doubt it.

Likewise, there are far bigger potatoes than the Freemason organization in the world of "secret societies". They are usually the scape-goats, but their oaths last a lifetime.
