Now 2022 NASA is launching a giant rocket heading for the moon but unmanned with 3 mannequins? Surely if we made so many trips back then we have the means and technology to not waste a launch on 3 mannequins.

If Orion's trip to the moon and back goes well, astronauts could climb aboard in 2023 for a lunar loop-around and actually land in 2025.

The tech that didn’t exist (still doesn’t) in 69 was a lighting array that could hit a “set” with enough fully undiffused light to cast the crisp long shadows seen in lunar landing photos. You’d need a wall of light set up kms away and then no atmosphere to diffuse it. They never had such lights.

Faking the moon landing was impossible, not getting there.
