Was the Apollo moon landing real? This will be short and sweet. Have you seen the film technology back then? Come on, it took over twenty years for Lord of the Rings to be filmed as it should have been in live action as opposed to the pitiful versions in the 1970's! The landing had to be real. There is no way they could have faked such bad production values! And besides, what would our government gain by faking a moon landing? If it was not a real achievement, the then-Soviet Union could have ferreted out the truth and most likely would have in order to embarrass the United States. That is, of course, unless you happen to be one of the drugged-out ultra-paranoid remnants of the 1960's who believe(d)that our government has some nefarious conspiracy plan against us. Gee, wouldn't that mean the government is taking an extremely LOOOOOOONG time to complete this conspiracy? By my reckoning, we should have been taken over by the gov-goons in 1970! Again, I ask, what would be the point of faking the moon landing? Why? Do you think they were going to utilize the moon much as the British did with their 'undesireables' by banishing them to Australia? What would be the slogan?
Use a gun, go to the moon?
