This is a photograph of the alleged "launch" of the Apollo 9 mission. It was given to me by a conspiracy theorist yesterday. (At the time, he was gently raving to non-one in particular under a railway bridge while apparently trying to catch butterflies in his mouth - but otherwise he seemed to be perfectly sane.)
If you look closely, you will see that the "rocket" is in fact a coke bottle.
I am frankly amazed that so many so-called intelligent people have been fooled by this blatantly obvious fakery for so long. Thank God for conspiracy theorists. Where would we be without them?
