Additionally, it should be pointed out that the Soviet Union explored space for scientific and human advancement. The US did it to try to one-up the ‘evil communists’

    It’s perfectly normal to be unable to differentiate between being serious or sarcastic when it comes to the whole Moon exploration program because on the fucking Internet there’s actually a very chonky population of people who believe the landings to be a hoax and you can find such individual in the MOST unexpected places.

    Trust me, I got thrown off there for a sec myself.

      That was my thought process as well. I assumed/hoped they were being sarcastic, but there is always a non-zero chance.
