grant to the picture , Streetcap1 used to be a believer in the moon landings himself , but the breakthrough of the exposure cast some doubt .

Commenters were split when it arrive to agree with Streetcap1 . A few of them check that the exposure seems faked and that the figure more closely resemble a stagehand than an spaceman , however , most masses seemed to think it was made up , with one commenter only post : “ You ’re an cretin . ”
