Since film technology 'wasn't available' to film men on Earth, it begs the question how was Fly By Foy (the company hired by the Nixon Administration to act out a fake moon landing, should Nixon's primary broadcast fail for some reason) going to do what they were supposed to do? |
it took an entire nation focused for years to get to the moon, themoon budget took 5% of the entire budget national budget. it was all combined with the race against our nuclear enemy. it was THE goal the government focused the nation on. it was the entire basis around "ask not what your country can do for you but you can do for your country".
spend that mount of resources and government speeches on film tech and they could shoot 11 hours of ~7 second delayed fake moon television shit in 1969.
