Russia’s space agency plans to send a mission to the moon to check whether the American moon landings were real.
In a video posted to Twitter on Saturday, Dmitry Rogozin, the Director General of Roscosmos, said: « We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not.”
Rogozin announced the project after he was asked whether he believed NASA landed on the moon in 1969. The agency head shrugged as he answered, making it unclear whether or not he was joking.

This isn’t the first time a Russian official has questioned whether the moon landings were faked.
In 2015, Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the government’s Investigative Committee said he would support an probe aimed at plugging some apparent gaps in the moon landing story.
