sounds fascinating... have you seen the movie Capricorn One similar sort of conspiracy theory theme?
The power of suggestion, tv, marketing and of course appealing to the part of man's imagination that wants to believe in it.
Remember War of the Worlds....after Orson Welles made the announcement over the radio ppl thought that Martians really had landed.
I think ppl believe what they choose to believe and some ppl have a predisposition to believing or not believing based upon cultural and personal conditioning - their life experience dictates this to a major extent.
Maybe the U.S. government had to be first on the moon so much they faked it and were actually second?
Awesome thread you started
