nah the `satellite` was paid for by nasa, it was hanging over pinewoods old apollo studio with a new finepix camera gaffa taped on it, if you look carefully you will see captain slog from star trek peering over one of the craters
also audio had to be removed because apparently you could hear the clangers
nah seriously, i remember as a school kid being allowed to stay up all night on the first landing, not long after i purchased the record of the whole episode, not for us mere mortals to have cds and videos for many years
funny enough my old man was a radar/radio tech in the raf, he used to tell me the ruskies had sent men to the moon but they never made it alive, apparently there were radio communications that proved this, end the day your that far from home that one cockup could mean your on a one way journey, apollo 13 proved that
pointless going back there, nowt of value worth having nor can we as a species survive there without life support systems, its close enough to the earth that a major calamity that would affect our survival like an asteroid impact would affect the moon as well
