In 1969 the technical difficulties of a moon landing were less than the technical difficulties of a video production such as we saw given the video technology of that time. If the landing were faked, the Russians would have faked one too.
If someone asked me to fake a moon landing and I was an expert in the art of deception, my first question would be - who do I need to fool, and for how long.
If the answer was everyone in the world, and for all time, I’d tell them to forget it.
Its ludicrous.
