Something interesting that I learned recently:

Every dollar in space is used to produce 7 dollars here on earth in the form of new products and services

As for the naysayers, forget about waving flags, odd crosshairs, lack of stars, shadows etc etc*. The race to the moon was born out of the cold war, it was Russia vs America in a game of my toys are bigger than yours. Considering that Russia most definitely had the technology to track the mission, do you not think that they would have immediately cried foul? Unless of course you also believe that the cold war was also a fabrication.



* All of which have been debunked with real science anyway
