In other words you're saying that one should believe NASA landed on the moon, because broadcasting a fake recording would have been technologically too difficult for them?

I don't doubt that they landed on the moon, but I'm not quite convinced about that logic ;)

The fun thing about that argument is that if NASA _didn't_ land on the moon, then it falls apart!

"If NASA has the power to land on the moon, clearly they could've faked a broadcast."

"If you're saying they didn't land on the moon, though, how can you use that as technological proof to edit the broadcast?"

Especially suspicious when accounting for the sorts of technological developments that have taken off since then -- lots of sending packets to screens of various sizes, not very much human exploration. /s
