I swore the moon landing hoax thing was dumb until I watched the 1969 NASA press conference footage
You can see the whole room laughing when the reporter asks how they got through the Van Allen belts, and nobody on that panel gives a straight answer for 4 minutes. If that was rehearsed, why does it look so awkward? Someone tell me why the USSR never called it out if it was fake.

That bit about "nobody gives a straight answer for 4 minutes" actually got me looking up the transcript a while back, and the funny part is they did answer, it's just that the audio is rough and they talk over each other. What worked for me was pulling up the Apollo 11 onboard voice recordings and the post flight debriefs, because those guys sound bored and tired, not like actors reading a script. And the USSR point is the one I always come back to, they had every reason to scream hoax from the rooftops and their own tracking stations were following the whole thing. If it was staged, the soviets would've been the first ones laughing, not a room full of reporters.
