But see, Kubrick would have been foolish to actually use the same methods to fake the moon footage that he did to film 2001. In fact, every director of every film that deals with space is under a secret governmental contract that forbids them from using the same technology that was used for the fake landing. That's why, even today, none of them look as real as the Apollo ones.

Anything can be rationalized if you're willing to take it to irrational lengths.
