Just a quick refresher: Over more than 10 years, Project Apollo involved 400,000 people working at major contractors such as Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company, IBM, Motorola and MIT University. Converted to today, the costs were 341 billion dollars and this is the main reason why 'we' didn't go back. After Apollo 11 there were 5 more other landings. Apollo 12 to 17 except 13. Kubrick? No self-respecting film director is going to make the same movie SIX times from the same set with black and white camera equipment and only different actors. Also CGI didn't exist yet. Van Allen? Astronauts are protected by their spacesuits and by the metal shell of the rocket. Moreover, they fly shortly through the least strong belts. Why no stars? All films and photos were taken during daylight. Trying to get stars in a photo will result in an overexposed photo. Are all the data lost? No. The Apex tape recordings of the TV broadcast and telemetry were overwritten but all the 16mm films and photos are still in the NASA Archive. Can we still see the landing sites? Both the dual rover tracks and the footprints are clearly visible in the images, which were captured and beamed back by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), the Chinese lunar satellite Chang'e 2 and the Indian lunar satellite Chandrayaan-2.
