When I watched this film I remembered that an uncle and my dad had told me some times in detail about one of the first computer games they played (maybe THE first). It was in a museum and there were some computers installed as science exhibit, in the beginning of the 70s that must have been. Old fashioned DOS computing if I remember right. They went there every day to simulate a moon landing that was there installed on the big computer (kind of arcade) towers for kids and teens, though also adults seemed to love it as well because computing was still quite rare. There was the taking off, image of the rocket in pixels also to see what was gong on while adjusting the numbers and meters, getting rid of the rocket parts in time and controlling speed, steering, give braking gas/reverse power and keep adjusting all the displays until the thing had landed on the moon. Next to a McDonald affiliate on the moon! That funny the game developers already were back then I guess. Then he flew back to earth again the same way. Maybe some 50-60 year olds will still remember this game or the exhibit. I loved his story as a kid!
It is so obvious that the Americans landed on the moon! The photos, the videos and the spirit of all the people who worked hard to achieve this goal is so clear. Besides, what about the astronauts who gave their lives for this...if it was faked, those astronauts would still be alive! I think its time for all to accept that we did go to the moon!!
NASA which started in 1959 would not of wasted all that money and development on rocketry and tragedy of the Apollo1 crew, Rest in peace. Those Astronauts had so much integrity. I suppose they made up the Apollo13 mission too. I say to Hell to all the naysayers.
Truth needs no defense ...Nobody, I mean nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the moon away from me
RIP Gene...the last word.

It`s a good idea, to take these statements exclusively into a short clip. Well done, Madame !
