In spite of what many people think, we are sure they could send missions to the moon without us knowing it.
To us it's impossible to prove that such an immense project could stay a secret. But it doesn't have to be a secret.
Just casting doubt over the project would be enough. To make a comparison; The US and Russia for example did hundreds of nuclear tests
during the decennia after world war II.
Thousands of people were involved. But did we knew about it? Yes and no. Authorities can always make a Yes/No game of a secret operation.
And our real leaders have the power to push the result in the right direction if really necessary. But most of the time doubt will do ...
If the test of the first atomic bomb had been a failure, we never would have
known about it for sure. It would have been called 'a conspiracy theory' ...
The Vela incident. How many nuclear tests were done? No one knows. How many rockets to the moon were launched? same answer ...
Authorities have the right
to keep those missions top secret.
