Correctness is a highly ambiguous concept, and it varies with perspective and experience. Old theories are pushed out (stubbornly) by crazier theories, that ain't new.

Inflexibility of all kinds is unproductive (and dangerous), whether one's pursuit is yoga, or science.

I cannot prove the moon landings occurred, so I am not in a position to say with authority whether or not they happened as reported. I have no problem with not knowing for sure. I find most arguments against the landings to be highly amateurish and ill-informed - I feel they are looking at the wrong things.

Personally I believe we (as a country and a species) have possessed the technology to go to the moon (and beyond) for quite some time before 1969, and that the moon landings, if they did indeed occur, were more of a publicity stunt than actual hard science. (A cynical syphoning of the taxpayers, but a gloriously magnificent one.) But I don't feel the need to convince you, or anybody else. We all make up our own minds, with the information to which we expose ourselves.

Anyway, cheers!
