But there was a movie directed in the same or previous year about landing on the moon and people claiming that the actual moon landing similar to that movie set.
It's totally true, Stanley Kubrick was contracted by NASA to make the movie of the moon landings but since he's such a perfectionist he demanded that it be filmed on location.
Any explanation for this from NASA.
All they say was why we need to lie such thing even if we do USSR might capture that we are lying.Logical but not a proof for that they landed.
