But the Wiki is not logical (is it ever??)
There is quote attributed to LBJ way before he became president that opines that control of space is control of the world.
The Wiki says that NASA has faked space travel only, not that space travel is impossible, and Nasa is not trying to convince anyone of the shape of the world, only to fake space travel.
If Nasa has faked space travel, then they have not been to space and (presumably) no one has, therefore there is no control of space, and therefore the world, then why fake space travel?
Space travel would mean actual control of the world, (if you believe the far fetched quote from LBJ), and as no one has been into space, why spend billions of dollars faking something you cannot do, and cannot be achievable, and has not achieved what you thought it might, i.e. control of the world?
Unless one is deluded enough to think Nasa, and the US has control of the world? In which case they can reverse global warming, if they wish, and hold the rest of the world to ransom much more effectively by promising to fix any climate issues a region may have.
Surely actual control of space would be a greater prize other than faking it. In any case the US does not have the monopoly on space unless you have noticed, so the conspiracy has not worked.
In any event the use of the quote by LBJ is useless and circulatory to the argument the Wiki is trying to uphold....
