Some here say moon landings etc were faked. I don't know as I haven't looked into it. This thread isn't for an argument about whether its real or not, though.
My question is: Why bother faking it? For shits and giggles? What is gained?

What is gained? How about $58million per day in tax funding. NASA was concieved during the JFK years, capitalizing on imaginations of all the space scifi stuff shown on those new tell lie visions. It also is a good metric to gauge the level of control over public perception.
Income tax was supossed to go away after the war. The govt realized how effective taxation was and needed a new scam to draw more, all the while keeping the public supportive of the postion through fairy tales and special effects.
You can not review the footage of the moon landing, speeches, astronot talks and possibly come to the conclusion it was real.
