You can certainly quibble with some of the points he makes in his response but to debunk the theory that the "lunar landings of the late 1960's and early 1970's" were "staged as a Cold War tactic to bluff the Soviet Union into a reserved nuclear posture" is not something you are going to achieve in one thread, and any time soon. Like everything that has been argued before, a great deal of it comes down to interpretation. The political side to this is vastly more complicated and again interpretation is a massive issue.
