Seriously though of all the amazing things the Apollo missions accomplished, I dunno why the conspiracy guys aren't more skeptical of the fact that to get back *off* the moon after dinking around in their golf cart or whatever, they had to blast off the surface and dock with the command module, which was orbiting at insane speed around the moon. I mean I know all the calculations were done in advanced and scheduled, but that specific feat has always amazed me. I can't imagine sitting there in the LEM, on the moon's surface, ready to blast off and thinking "well uhhh I hope this works!". Talk about balls of steel.
Hauling the fuel mass around to get home again was pretty 1337. If it was really real.
