    I remember reading that it would’ve actually cost a lot more for people to fake a moon landing back in those days than to actually go there. When viewed from above, the shadows in the Apollo photos are parallel because the light source is so far away!

      They hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing.

      Which worked out in the end because he insisted the only way he could get the shot right was to land on the moon.
