Good for Kilroy.

Folks who try to claim any part of the Moon landing was faked do a huge injustice and show a tremendous amount of disrespect for the people who devoted their lives and careers to this great accomplishment.

I think disbelieving it just shows a huge amount of modern egoism. The people of t he present just aren't willing to admit that those folks back then were just that great and capable and devoted compared to what we do now days. We have fancy phones. Yea.

The caller who thinks the televised stuff was faked is also lacking a familiarity with historic facts. Amateur radio astronomers were also able to pick up the live transmissions from the Moon. Were those all faked somehow? The live transmissions were not only received and distributed by NASA; they were received world wide. There wasn't sophisticated encryption of the signals or anything back then.

We sent a transmitter to the moon to beam back the recordings, instead of just broadcasting from the Moon?

Pamela is adorable, but one must be unaware of historical facts and current truths to believe that the Moon landing was faked. To this day, one can bounce lasers off of the devices that the astronauts set on the Moon. There was even a Big Bang Theory episode about this. Sure, that could have been landed unmanned, but eventually, as Mr. Krantz pointed out, such a conspiracy would be more trouble than actually landing on the Moon would have been.
