Dude! Where's my maria?
In the early days of the space race, the Soviets scooped us by being the first to send a spacecraft to the far side of the moon where it took a grainy picture and radioed it back to earth...The picture was indeed awful by modern NASA standards, but it showed major features like maria, and even a few of the major craters.
...
I remember this so distinctly because it occurred to me at the time that there was no way the Russians could get away with this. It was only a matter of time before one of our own space probes went there and took its own pictures, exposing the fraud, and showing the Soviets as total liars and cheats.
Oops. I think you just exposed the Soviet deception.
