One of my current curiosities, somehow sparked by recent debates here, is if
there are any Lugneters who, educated or not, may actually believe that the
moon landings are a hoax...do they have the courage to "come out of the
closet" so to speak, and share their opinion?

I'll come out on this one. I love the film, Capricorn One [1]. I believe the
hoax theory is plausible [2], and I even doubted the veracity of the moon
landing for a few days a couple months ago. But a quick search on the internet
shows that each anomaly put forward as evidence for the hoax is refutable in
fairly easy-to-understand terms...

I had never questioned it before some friends pointed out the problems - now
I'm leaning more to the skeptic side.  I see the biggest problem being the
radiation.  Could you point me to your "anomaly refutation" site?  At the
moment the only thing I'm sure of is that it would take an enormous effort
to fake, and an even more enormous effort to accomplish.  If only there were
a powerful enough telescope to see for sure once and for all...  :-)
