Re: The moon landing hoax it still occassionally surfaces in conversation, strangely enough with Creationists who seem to buy into the hoax scenario very readily - perhaps a symptom of fundemental lack of scientific knowledge. I have however found a very persuasive non-science argument that occured to me when I saw the original program. It was 1969, the height of The Cold War and yet the people who at the time would have certainly known the Apollo missions did not happen as presented, and who would have had the most to gain by exposing a fraud did not - the Soviets. That silences all skeptics; very few would suggest that the USSR would have collaborated with the US.
