Cheese & the Real Moon Landing

Wallace and Gromit on the Moon enjoying their cheese and crackers. 

One or two of my friends say we never landed on the moon. All that NASA stuff was faked.

I don't know about that.

But, like the guy below, writer/director S G Collins, I wasn't there to see them exit their lander, either. Still, I did watch the moon landing on "live" TV. And, like Collins, I worked with studio stuff back in the olden days. For me, it seems a bit out of reach to believe the technology of that time would have been up to the degree of fakery required.

So, here is the story... anyway.

Moon Landings Faked? Filmmaker Says Not! - 2013

Writer/director S G Collins of Postwar Media debunks every theory that the Apollo Moon landings could have been faked in a studio. The filmmaker takes a look at the video technology of the late 1960's, showing alleged fraud was simply not possible.

I suspect this is what happened after the real moon landing:
