Any thoughts on the link I posted?
He makes fair points, but at the same time, commercial imaging tech is always behind by about 5-10 years from the top secret stuff. Pretty sure they had large format grainless film for their spyplanes well in advance of any such thing as grainless even being proposed on the civilian market.
Even so, without speculation about what they could and could not have had, slowmotion is not the only way to fake low gravity.

No. Points not needed. Logic does not work against ass-craziness.
That settles that then doesn't it?

My father worked at NASA and JPL in the glory days. It's the one thing in the complicated relationship I had with him I was always proud of. (And one of the few things in a long career that wasn't classified, though I could barely get him to talk about those days.)
When I stood looking up at what's left of the Apollo 1 launch platform last summer, it really hit me that it would have been hard for him to talk about the astronauts that died. He had met them many times in the course of his job. My mom told me quite a bit about that awful day in 1967.
So, when I feel the urge to throttle these moon hoax guys, it's because they piss on the graves of brave men, and insult everyone who ever worked to put Americans on the moon and bring them home safe.
So you are emotionally invested and unable to think clearly about the matter despite having no real knowledge of what your father did because it was all top secret.
So lets play pretend for a moment and say it really was staged, who is pissing on whose grave now?
I won't pretend to know anything about this for sure, but you seem to jump to conclusions far too easily. And the only thing left to do is to find out more.
It certainly would not be out of character for the US government to lie and cheat. This is what they always do. I don't think there are many examples of something they did not in fact lie and cheat about. It is normal, for it not to be lied about in some manner, now that would be remarkable.
