Do you mean Armstrong? Because I went back and read the argument in the letter, and that's not his argument at all.

His first argument was that it's incredibly unlikely that 400,000 people would have been complicit in such a fraud with none of him breaking ranks.

His second argument was all of the scientific experts from other countries who all agree it actually happened.

He didn't make any claims about how "the US government would never try and defraud its citizen".

Just imagine if Soviet Union could prove US faked the Apollo program, faked claims of landing on the moon.

But i bet Soviet Union was on the conspiracy too xD

puts on additional layer of tinfoil hat

Of course the Soviets were in on it. They didn't publicly humiliate the US because they feared Mad Man Nixon would start WW3 over it. IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
