"Just a month before, Apollo II astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins, aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the moon, beating by five months President Kennedy's goal of putting a man on the moon before the decade was out. The old carpenter asked me if I really believed it had happened. I said sure. I saw it on television. He disagreed, he said that he didn't believe it for a minute, that "them television fellars"could make things look real that weren't. Back then, I thought he was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn't ahead of his time" (my emphasis)

...was that a hint of his doubts, or wasn't it?
What if they went to the moon and faked some of the photos to make them look better than what they were as the camera's they had wouldn't take the photos that they came down with?

Cracked?
