BIG QUESTION; given that the Soviets had beaten the Americans into Space, in the middle of the cold War, and the huge advantage in propaganda over their hated rivals. WHY didn't the Soviets spill the beans about the fake Moon project? After all, THEY failed many times and lost several Cosmanauts, including women. ANSWER---the CIA found out that Yuri Gagarin's --'FIRST MAN IN SPACE'' was ALSO FAKE. a BBC TV documentary a few years ago, had 3 former Soviet Rocket Scientists, with original film, told how Gagarin was 'officially'' chosen, because he was a young and good looking Jet Fighter Pilot, and would make better propaganda, around the world. ONLY, he wasn't very good, so they faked his take-off. Climbing into the Module waving, and out a secret back exit, and driven away. His roll was taken be a senior, older cosmanaut . SO--the deal was --you keep schtum and so will we. Gagarin later became a bit of a drunk, with a loose tonque, and was killed much later, in a mysterious plane crash.
