Theres been long standing rumors that even NASA astronauts were issued cyanide pills on their missions back in the day. If you think about it, it does make sense. Theres a bunch of things that could have went wrong that would have lead to a dragged out and long death with no hope for rescue.
Like the Apollo missions say the rockets to lift off the moon crapped out, there was no way they would have been able to mount a rescue mission in time. So they would have had a Suffocation or freezing death in store.I would rather take a pill and be done with it 5 minutes later.
The Soviets indeed had plans to go to the moon but after they were beat there was no point to going. Even though the Moon Hoax conspiracies have been debunked to death the easiest evidence that it was faked besides things like the reflectors the astronuats placed on the moon we use even today, is that fact that the Soviets would have exposed any such hoax if it was a hoax. The soviets had some of the greatest minds on the planet they wouldnt have been fooled for long. Plus if they could prove it was a hoax it would have been they greatest P.R win of the entire coldwar.
