Flexing on the USSR. It was the Cold War and the Soviets had already put a man in orbit on Vostok 1 Apr. 12, 1961. They were beating our pants off with their space program. So we had to look like we were better than them.
The firmament separates the heavens and the Earth, correct? Does that not mean that the firmament is the boundary of the universe? Do we think that the moon and Mars and Jupiter are part of the heavens ? Serious question because I have not researched this topic of the firmament biblically.
yes, it's not mentioned much anymore, people aren't as literal with the Bible. it's the separation between the 'waters'...
it would be the 'end' of our inner space, and include the planets we know.
Genesis 1:6-8
KJV
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

"The firmament in the Bible is the tremendous dome-shaped expanse of sky separating the upper atmosphere or “waters” from the lower waters of the earth. On the second day of the creation account, God created the firmament:"
Wag the Dog... it was on tv and radio so it happened... even if it didn't... the psyop works that way and a whole country of people feel like winners who are inclined to let their government spend whatever they want to maintain dominance...while a rival country of people get to feel defeated...
They did know it was BS when they watched the Apollo 11 astronauts get out of the capsule and walk around like normal. USSR cosmonauts took time to recover their strength and balance after returning from relatively short missions.
The Russians knew it was not bullshit and were working hard on their own lunar launch vehicle, the N1. It had systemic problems and they were far from solving them by the time the US had already made it. If it was fake, they would have scored a bit hit on the US by calling it out and proving it. But they didn't, because it wasn't.
Stealing billions of dollars. Think of all the blue state scams that suck money away from the US Treasury for no apparent gains to society. Why not spend a few million to make a huge rocket, send it up into the atmosphere and let it travel to the sun to get rid of the evidence. Next, the rest of the billions of dollars are just funneled into someone's personal bank accounts. Yea, its a money laundering operation.
The "huge rocket" cost far more than "a few million" dollars. And to send something to the Sun requires more rocket propulsion capability than sending something out of the Solar system. The money funded an entire constellation of work centers and contractors. You don't know what you are talking about.
So it was fake. What did they achieve by faking all this?

they wanted people to believe in 'space' rather than the Biblical firmament.
to make us feel 'small'...one of billions, instead of made in the image of God.
That’s a stretch
Ummm no it's not.
flat earth enters the chat....
why?

Technological dominance over the USSR.
But the russ had to know this stuff was bullshit. They had to have their own scientists look at this and say it is not possible, here is why.

The USSR had to know one way or the other. I find it hard to believe that they would have kept quiet if it was faked.
They did know it was BS when they watched the Apollo 11 astronauts get out of the capsule and walk around like normal. USSR cosmonauts took time to recover their strength and balance after returning from relatively short missions.
That's a very noticable difference.
