Kamanin was the commander of the cosmonauts, and the only participant who left behind what are purportedly contemporary diary entries. Yet there were big holes in the 'standard version'.Ī simple, powerful, and long-known example is found in Kamanin's diary. The 'revealed' version of the Soviet moon program was that their equipment was never safe enough to launch cosmonauts around the moon before Apollo 8 or land them on the moon before Apollo 11. When the participants in the Soviet moon program remembered the program in the 1990's, there was still a 'party line'. Those who want the real skinny are encouraged to purchase the two Quest articles, which in 77 pages include much more documentation, including declassified spy photographs, obscure and unexplained photographs of hardware, explanatory drawings, and much more… This article will survey the evidence as it existed before this new material, and then briefly sketch some of the new evidence they have uncovered. A treasure trove of new material has been published recently by Peter Pesavento and Charles Vick in an epic two-part article in the scholarly space journal Quest (2004 issues Volume 11, numbers 1 and 2). There are still other mysteries, still information withheld.
The Soviet manned lunar programs were only made public after the fall of the Soviet Union.īut all has not been revealed. In the case of being the first to send a man around the moon, that loss was measured in days or weeks.Īfter the loss, they perpetrated a hoax - they claimed they had never been in the race to begin with. The 元 project would beat the American Apollo program to the lunar surface. The L1 project would send a Soviet crew around the moon before the Americans, using a stripped-down Soyuz spacecraft launched by a Proton rocket. The Soviet Union had two huge secret projects designed to win the moon race. There is almost nothing on the real moon landing conspiracy - that of the Soviet Union. The Internet is alive with web sites detailing Apollo moon landing conspiracy theories. How the Soviet Union fooled the world into believing it wasn't in the moon race. Note the very extensive equipment boxes above the capsule, and the clear hatch providing entry into the side of the capsule.
