I am amazed an many of the younger work colleagues of mine who just do not believe we landed on the Moon. I was dumbfounded. It wasn't that they believed in a greater conspiracy, but because of their age and the world they live in (internet, digital manipulation, special effects etc.) they just do not think it happened.

I think there is a serious generation issue happening and I read other opinions that as the years move on, more and more people will grow up forgetting about Apollo altogether, or believing it was all staged or never happening at all. We need to keep Apollo alive and I understand that some Apollo deniers will never be swayed, but geez, won't it be great to see some images of the LM decent stage, rovers, rover tyre tracks, and other equipment!!! I am truly excited about this.
