If the first moon landing was faked, why do more? They could have

After the Apollo 11 landing revealed the surface of the Sea Of
Tranquility to be a rolling dust covered plain, WvB turned to Chesley
Bonestell (who was at mission control for the landing) and said: "Don't
worry Chesley; you were right- it was the Moon that was wrong." ;-)
Still, even Chesley would have gotten some satisfaction in a picture
