you're never going to convince them that actually going to the moon with 1960s technology was easier than doing some studio magic with the same technology.

"damn, this making a man in a puffy white suit jump up and down at half speed is really hard"
"i know, let's go on location for the shoot"
"ok, but what location"
"the moon, of course"
"sure, let's go!"


and frankly, you're not going to convince me of anything with that argument either, and i believe very strongly that we actually went to the moon.

*if we wanted to fake it*, of course we could have faked it with that technology, or at least, we could have advanced that technology enough to have faked it.

keeping it a secret all these years is another thing entirely....
