I hope their plan works, though I would like to think that the very subject matter

Ali Kuwait, 19, who is studying civil engineering at Brevard Community College, said he recently watched a clip on YouTube that made a convincing case that NASA's moon landings between 1969 and 1972 were faked.
Repeating an old myth that NASA has not been able to kill, Kuwait said: “The moon thing was not real.''
I would like to think that Orion will stop all the above nonsense, but again, I am a silly person.
