The urban myth surrounding the faking of the Moon landing is in fact, part true. While the landing itself wasn't filmed on a false set like many would like to portray, NASA - lacking the technology to sustain human life outside of earth's atmosphere - simply pulled the moon from space using a series of pulleys and ropes and candidly got the apollo crew to walk upon it's surface. Luckily the media build up to (and including) the live broadcast of the landing itslef was enough to distract the general population from the quite obvious mission to harness the moon to the earth's surface.
