the most plausible bit they brought up was the flag blowing around. i guess by having no atmosphere, there would be no wind on the moon. however, i feel that because of the decreased gravity, something light as a flag will have a tendency to keep flapping and moving from being placed into the dirt.

I think outer space is a lie - the stars are small electrical lights placed in a rotating shell of black glass around the earth.
The reason no one could go to the moon is it is just a picture painted on the glass! Why do you think the same side of the moon is always facing the earth? There is no other side!
The final clue is the man in the moon - a joke placed into the moon painting by the man who painted it there, one Henry Schwartz of Hackensack, New Jersey.

According to CBC's website [http://www.cbc.ca]:
"During an interview with Stanley Kubrick's widow an extraordinary story came to light. She claims Kubrick and other Hollywood producers were recruited to help the U.S. win the high stakes race to the moon."
Is that a fact? When I think of CBC, I think of "The Kids in The Hall". Thoose funny Canadians.

That Kubrick story was made up to ridicule the conspiracy theorists and apparently it worked because they took the bait.

The version I read was that it was originally published on internet as a joke (of the day), and then some people thought it made sense.

Don't question!
"I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I don't need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."

See? Yeah. You ain't even worth bothering their heads about.
"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's gonna happen? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

mapp you are still the quote king...
I saw a special on discovery or something a while back that was investigating the possibility of the moon landing being fake.. and I don't remember any of the points they brought up besides the flag flapping, but I do recall being thoroughly convinced at the end of the program that the landing was indeed fake. Not to say that we never went to the moon, but the amount of pressure on NASA to beat the russians might have caused them to have victory at any cost (even if it meant faking it) and worry about actually getting to the moon later.
