    Unless the US government gets taken over by QAnon types by then, I would be seriously surprised if they did this. America may even land on the moon again in a few years, so it’s not like they’d be embarrassed. I expect a lot of crazy shit online though.

      It’ll be one of those things where officially they recognise the achievement, but the media will push the fringe voices to the forefront, knowing that people will adopt conspiracy theories all on their own. They won’t tell people it was fake, they’ll just host people who say it was fake and let them speak, then let people “decide for themselves.”

      They’ve been doing this for decades. QAnon is the best example I can think of for that.
