There is absolutely no reason why Nasa and the government would keep the breathable atmosphere on the moon a secret. It doesn't even make any sense.

It would be easy to substantiate your assertion by observing lunar occultations. Much thanks.
Of course. Lets see some of those observations. Both Palomar and Wilson took well publicized photos between 1954 and 1958 of the moon. Surely they have photographic evidence of those occultations. Lunar Orbiter, Clementine and Hubble all of which must have visual proof.
I'm sure that you could present evidence through video proof that the moon has no atmosphere. Where do we look? Thanks.

If NASA wanted to keep everything thats on the moon a secret, and by everything I mean the huge cities, huge towers, artifacts, mining operations, then they would want you to think that the moon is airless, a total vacuum, gravity 1/6th of earth (don't want enough gravity to hold an atmosphere) and a black sky.

So is the thought that NASA photshopped the photo?
Is this an official NASA print? Does it have a number?

Both of these stories have been circulating for about 36 or 37 years.
As I've mentioned before all Apollo astronauts have probably been threatened with death or worse if they were tell what was really on the moon. So they are not talking much.

The only time that you might see it is in a NASA released photo!

But the interesting part of the whole operation is where the rocket lands-on the dark side of the moon, right where it meets the lighted side. Why the dark side of the moon?

Planets with atmosphere show a definite haze around them.
Look at Mars and the dust storms there (some of which obscure the planet's face)... that's what a light atmosphere does to dust on the face of a dry planet (if it's not dry, you get clouds.)

The same strategy holds for Venus. If they didn't want us to know about a civilization there, particularly one thats far more advanced than we are then they would promulgate something like, hot flowing lava and exploding volcanoes all over the places, temperatures of 800 degrees at the surface, surface pressures of 90 bars and an atmosphere of poisonous sulfuric fumes. Sounds pretty bad huh? Not to worry, none of it is true. Venus is very similar to earth both in atmosphere and temperature.
