William Charles Kaysing (1922–2005), American writer and head of technical publications (1957–1963) at Rocketdyne, makers of the F-1 Saturn V first stage engine.[175] He wrote the book "We never went to the Moon" with Randy Reid in 1974.[37][99](ch. 17)[176]
Kaysing stated that the chance of a successful Moon landing was calculated to be 0.0017% in a late 1950s
Sibrel says that "a successful manned mission to the Moon offered a wonderful, pride-boosting distraction for the near revolt of the citizens of America over 50,000 deaths in the Vietnam War",[185] with lunar activities stopping abruptly and planned missions cancelled around the same time that the USA ceased its involvement in Vietnam.[186]
Dr Alexander Ivanovich Popov (b. 1943) is a Russian senior research associate, doctor of physical-mathematical sciences,
Helped by more than forty volunteers, most of which with scientific degrees,[207] he wrote the book "Americans on the Moon" (2009).[208][209] In it, Popov placed the burden of proof on NASA,[207] and denied all Moon landing evidence, dividing it to five groups:
Thus he concluded that the NASA claims on Moon landings are left unproven, and pursuant to science rules, in the absence of trustworthy evidence, the event, in this case the American Moon landings and their loops around the Moon, cannot be considered real, that is, having taken place.[11] He also confirmed Pokrovsky's results for the speed of the Saturn V at S-IC staging time (see above).[210][211] Popov accused the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee of trading the 1970s Détente for covering up the US Moon hoax and stopping the Soviet Moon programme.[212]
Yuri Ignatievich Mukhin (b. 1949), Russian opposition politician, publicist, writer, engineer, metallurgist, manager, and inventor. Author of the books "The Moon affair of the USA" (2006)[213] and "A Moon affair" (2009),[82] and the film "Maximum lies and nonsense" (2010).[214] In his works, he examines the differences between the Soviet and US lunar soil found out by Western researchers, refutes the NASA defenders' arguments, and accuses the US government for plundering the taxpayers' money for the Moon programme. Mukhin states that the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee was blackmailed by the USA that if the USSR denounces the Moon hoax, the US will denounce the Soviet partocracy before his people, revealing that Khrushchev had killed Stalin and Beria.[82](pp. 124–126)
