Because getting to the Moon was possible. Faking the Moon landing footage was — as the linked video demonstrates … not. (h/t +George Wiman)

An outstanding video, and one that cuts to the center of the rationality vs. faith argument.

Why the moon landings could not have been faked
Because the technology to get to the moon existed in 1969, but the technology to fake a moon landing in a studio did not.
The takeaway –
Why does any of this matter? Well my concern is with the ultimate fate of knowing, of seeing the difference between what you can know and what you wish for…The urge to believe drives people to trade in part of their soul in exchange for the comfort of being a rebel.

I love it when people point to the flag on the moon as proof that it was faked. "See? It's sticking straight out! Fake!"
