Don't anyone here dare state that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings.....they weren't.

[see my Apollo sunglasses? hehehehe]

ps: I do own a Nikon 35mm SLR camera that was a backup camera for the Apollo missions. It's way too cool, and came with an official NASA certificate and serial number. Someday my kid will own it when I'm long gone and only dust flowing in the breeze.....
