I have always gotten a kick out of the hoax people. I did watch the Fox
special a few years ago, but I watched it for it's entertainment value.

As for the pictures, I have seen a set that as close to original as
possible. They came from a Air Force captain that worked for NASA. My gut
tells me that some of them were "touched up" a bit, but that really
shouldn't be much of a surprise. NASA had a MAJOR investment in the Apollo
missions. If the pictures taken would have come back and were poor
quality, then the people that controlled the money might be tempted to cut
things back a lot. While I have never believed that anything was faked, I
would not be surprised if things were not "air brushed" a little to make
them a little more appealing to the eye. Heck, how many high school
students haven't had their senior pictures air brushed a little. :-)
