I'm sure someone mentioned it but to be staged that is one hell of a prop.

True. It would be so hard to build, it would probably be easier to just send the astronauts to the Moon.minkfarms wrote:I'm sure someone mentioned it but to be staged that is one hell of a prop.
But hey, if the Moon landing was for real, then all those conspiracy lovers out there would have their favorite all-time coverup taken away from them.
Can't have that now, can we?

It would take a soundstage about the size of a football field that could be completely depressurized (or the regolith wouldn't behave properly). The actors would still need the pressure suits and you would need to use cameras with about 60-90 fps film speed.
Definitely doable though the soundstage would be a real piece of work

It's almost as if it would be easier and cheaper to engineer a real trip to the moon.BMAONE23 wrote:It would take a soundstage about the size of a football field that could be completely depressurized (or the regolith wouldn't behave properly).

Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Especially since you would have to build and launch the rocket, anyway.

I believe the Apollo 15 lander is (just) visible in this image, right of centre, above the shadows in Rima Hadley.
