Irma is an interesting name...

There would be a great propaganda value in the cover up. It was the race between Soviet Union and the US also.

Conspiracy theorists claim he learned to moonwalk in a desert.

In that long rambling video , he gives only one reason: Slow motion was not possibleat that time because high speed cameras didn't exist at that time.

And guess what! He is wrong. High speed cameras did exist at that time and they used some tubes called vidicons which were known for their 'ghosting' effect. And coincidentally, moon landing video also suffers from ghosting effect.

Anyway, the premise of this argument is itself silly. It should be self evident that faking moon landing is always easier and cheaper than actually going to moon. I think moon landing being fake is pretty obvious. What shocked me is the fact that whole space travel is fake.

She is kidding. Now, you have to do something nice for her.

After reading some of these comment I now realize that going to the moon isn't very impressive. If you look up in the sky the moon looks the same size as the sun, but I know it's closer and smaller so it appears the same. If the moon is 240 thousand miles away and the earth is 8 thousand miles in diameter the moon is only 30 times farther away that the earth is wide. I'm kind of sad because I used to think it was a big deal and now I realize it's so close that going there isnt such a big deal.

That's right.

Wires and miniature models have been used from 1927 onwards to create flying effect. Rear projection has been used from 1930s onwards to create backgrounds. 2001 a space oddessey by Kubrick was made in 1968. It used front projection technique. This gives a better background effect than rear projection method. So, all the ingredients for making the Apollo movie were already in place. That leaves only the slow motion which requires high speed camera. High speed camera was also available at this time and it used a tube called vidicon. It had a problem of 'ghosting' effect. You can see this effect in the Apollo movie. Lets address some of the other common counters: 1) if USA faked moon landing, then soviets would have exposed them:: Actually, soviets started this whole space fakery business with their 'first man in space', 'first did in space', 'firsf space walk',...etc. USA simply did it bigger and better. Afterall, they have the Hollywood. 2) what about the mirrors left by Apollo which still reflect radio waves:: there is no need for any mirrors on moon. Moon is a natural reflector. 3) what about the moon rocks:: they are fake.
