I lived through the Mercury, Gemini, Luna and Apollo era and there is no doubt that what we saw and heard was real and not part of a multi-faceted, international, decade long, coordinated, enduring and sophisticated hoax.
Born in 1954 and having lived through the amazing ‘60s, I enjoy first hand knowledge of all these programs, that ran consistently like a daily thread throughout my life in that decade.
People who did not live through Mercury, Gemini, Luna and Apollo do not have any personal experience, so it is easy to unsettle their beliefs; they do not have the benefit and reality of a decade of actual life experience, indelibly impressed in countless memories, from living daily with these enormous well publicised programs, with their myriad images, live broadcasts from multiple networks, spanning multiple countries, straddling some 10 years.
To try to tell me that what I lived through and experienced from Apollo 11 in 1969 through to Apollo 17 in 1972 is a hoax, is as nonsensical and absurd as saying that I did not have a delicious home made curry for tea tonight and that I am not typing this message on my keyboard.
Someone who has not lived through my experience may only have a two dimensional photo as a reference point. If that photo "looks strange" and they have no other knowledge of Apollo then yes - they can doubt the program and be swayed by inaccurate arguments.
I know what I saw and lived through, and who I am. There was no hoax - Apollo and the lunar landings were real.
Cheers
Dennis
