All of this business sprang up because of a stupid movie that came out in 1978 called “Capricorn One.” Check it out:

Actually, the stupid move sprang up because of stupid conspiracy theories, which have been around probably since man landed on the moon and definitely since Bill Kaysing published a book on the subject in 1974.
This page has some interesting links on the topic.

**I’m waiting for my pet theory to be on some TV “documentary” – that at the time of the moon landing, the moon was slightly less than a quarter phase, so the astronauts had to step very carefully or they’d fall off the edge of the moon.
There’s also a great government conspiracy to keep secret the fact that they found the bones of a long-decayed cow on the dark side of the moon – it wasn’t actually able to complete the jump. But the government maintains the American dream that it could and did. **
