Yesterday was the anniversary of humans landing on the moon. Or was it? A surprisingly large number of people have their doubts, and they also have all sorts of "proof" as to why the whole thing is hooey. We'll look at some of the deniers' claims as well as a few of the big players in the moon hoax industry.
