Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good production, Facts Somewhat Believable
Review: There is no need to see this. There is nothing new here at all. These same stupid "arguments" about shadows (perspective issues inherent to 2D photographs), radiation belts (like the producers know anything about them), Hollywood props (hey that cloud in the sky looks like it has a "C" carved in it, so it must be fake), etc. have been around for decades. The rest of the rhetorical questions posed here are less than illuminating (yes Nixon was a liar, but what does that have to do with the price of beans in Somalia?)

I saw some crackpot on TV discuss the hypothesis that the lunar missions were all fakes way back in the 70's. I was about eight at the time and I recall that I bought into it somewhat. My parents (both scientists) laughed at me, but I just thought they were ignorant because they didn't catch this incredibly enlightening bit on the idiot box!

I hate to burst the bubbles of those who are drawn to these same paranoid fantasies some thirty years later, but life is full of little disappointments. I remember as a gullible teenager being fascinated by the omnipresent "no money down real estate" guys on late-night TV. That seemed like a really fresh idea to me until I saw a dim-witted character in a forty-odd-year-old movie gushing about the exact same con. He was all ready to send them his money too!

I can't say with absolute certainty what happened on these missions, but I CAN tell you with absolute certainty that there is no proof of anything here (except that some things never change.)

Someone should put the crooks who recycled this thirty-year-old tripe into a rocket and send THEM to the moon. Watch out for that radiation belt guys!
