Not having read the article, because it's been withdrawn for factual innacuracies, I have this to add to the "staged moon landing" theory.<br><br>If the moon landing was a staged event, made and directed by film business professionals, what we'd see is something like films of the day looked like. Not so much in terms of the technological design, but it the look of the medium itself. The pictures would look like movie stills. They don't. One of the most fantastic things about the moon landings for me (who followed them avidly at the time, with a perhaps sharper eye than I have now) was the entirely new visual universe these images represented. Not even Kubrick and Trumbull themselves could have come up with that quality, that light, that LOOK. Sometimes, Rigorous Intuition works for the official account. My own RI tells me that the moon landings were not staged simply because - it looks absolutely real. In a way no movie ever has, the great 2001 included.<br><br>(My same RI antenna also tells me JFK was shot from the front, and that too is based purely on what I see). <p></p><i></i>
