The Moon landing was staged, but Stanley Kubrick wanted to film on location.

    Okay, here is what I believe:

    I believe landing on the moon and a live video broadcast from the moon are two extremely different things.

    I think they did have actors on a soundstage pantomime to the live audio being piped from the moon. Just cuts down on so many variables, and the stakes were too high for the broadcast to be a technical disaster.

    I think that even despite that, the moon landing is still one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
