I have noticed a good portion of the younger generation today also believes the moon landing was faked. It's usually based on some shadow that doesn't line up right or the stiff flag that was pictured. Keep in mind several people gave their lives to reach that goal over a decade period. As time passes we tend to forget about things like the laser reflectors strategically placed on the moon that we use to monitor the exact distance. NASA openly admits the computer used then was so primitive today's wrist watches are more powerful. Remember the computer crashed on Apollo 13 due to lack of battery power and it was actually flown through reentry completely by eye with no computer guidance.


As radio operators we should also consider the communications link that was in place around the world to limit the times loss of signal would take place. More importantly that there were several hams with the capability in 1969 to monitor those communications first hand with large arrays pointed directly at the moon. If it were faked, why continue to fake it several more times right through the Apollo 13 accident? What about the nearly 1000 pounds of lunar rocks brought back that date 200 million years older then anything ever found on earth? Let's not forget so quickly.
