The "no stars because they couldn't fake them in the right positions" argument is a real doozy. Do those who argue this not realise that over the course of a year the position of the Earth moves millions of miles across space as we orbit the Sun.

However, Orion still looks like Orion and The Plough still looks like The Plough whether I see them on 5 March or 5 September (six months apart so, presumably, as far away from each other as two positions of the planet get). Given that, a 250k mile hop to the moon is not going to make the stars look any different to the way they look from Earth.

Or maybe ... the no stars argument is made by those who also believe that the universe revolves around the Earth?
