Film and video technology in 1969 was too primitive to fake the Moon landing. Slow-motion video to simulate lunar gravity could only have been stored for 30 seconds, far less than the 143 minutes Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent walking on the Moon. Shooting the mission on film would have required editing about seven reels of film together, and the Apollo 11 footage shows no such editing or film artifacts such as scratches.
