A picture is worth a thousand words… On your left! The first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong!!
On your right! The first man in space, Yuri Gagarin! Icons! Heroes! … Doppelgangers!!! Have you met your doppelganger? it is sometimes implied we all have one, like a soulmate… but do we? does anyone? just how unusual is an uncanny facial resemblance between strangers? Has anyone met their doppelganger?? Even supposing we ALL have doppelgangers somewhere, what are the chances that your doppelganger would find themselves not only in the exact same job but in the exact same world-historical national-mythic role? That’s a hell of a coincidence theory!! Twins separated at birth might both end up as piano-playingA picture is worth a thousand words… On your left! The first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong!! On your right! The first man in space, Yuri Gagarin! Icons! Heroes! … Doppelgangers!!!

Even supposing we ALL have doppelgangers somewhere, what are the chances that your doppelganger would find themselves not only in the exact same job but in the exact same world-historical national-mythic role? That’s a hell of a coincidence theory!! Twins separated at birth might both end up as piano-playing accountants or something, but this is ridiculous! … What if it’s much simpler than that: why can’t they be the same guy? … the same actor, that is. I mean, stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Neil Armstrong did not actually fly to the moon in a tin can, he played the pilot in a high-budget hoax or ‘mockumentary’ about flying to the moon. Same goes for Yuri Gagarin’s historic “first spaceflight”, which was seriously doubted at the time for various reasons but those doubts were cut short by the immediate congratulations of JFK… huh. Gagarin’s voice was heard claiming to be seeing things he couldn’t have seen from where his capsule supposedly was, he claimed he had no camera which please… another flagrant hoax… so Gagarin and Armstrong were both actors pretending to be astromen, and they were dead ringers for each other… and, oh yeah, Gagarin was dead before Armstrong became famous. Died in a ‘mysterious’ crash in 1968, in circumstances cloaked in obscurity and ever-changing speculations… In 2013 his fellow astroman cleared it all up with a new and fantastically implausible story to explain why there was no midair collision but also no time for Gagarin to eject before crashing, and he was torn to shreds, his poor fellow astro-not had to identify him from SHREDS IN A BOWL, one of which luckily contained a tell-tale neck-mole … ridiculous. … in other words, it looks like Gagarin faked his death. Or rather, they ‘retired his character’… Unless you think Armstrong lost his twin brother to this nonsense and still went along with it. Anyway, this resemblance is objectively ‘off the chain’ and demands an explanation even if you think the flights were real … In this brief introductory BLAST we can only invite you to contemplate what an immense synergy this face-op provided to the psychological effect of Apollo … so do you think they’re twins? Or the same guy?? Or do you believe in one of the greatest ‘coincidence theories’ ever sold, that the ‘first man in space’ and the ‘first man on the moon’ just happened to be Dead Ringers??
