If you check with some of the conspiracy sites out on the Internet, you’ll find some that maintain that the Apollo lunar landings were hoaxes staged in a studio. Indeed, the soundstage required was quite impressive. BTW, do you know why the Apollo 11 pictures were black-and-white and the later “missions” were in color? Not all of the soundstage was complete for the first “landing,” and there was a dust control problem. The pictures had to be kept monochrome so that the red dust wouldn’t be obvious. You see, to keep the studio hidden from the public—it was built on Mars.
And to think I was a firm believer in the hoax theory….until I read this explanation. Thanks.
