A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon -- Did NASA Fake Apollo Manned Moon Landings?

This film proves the idea the Moon landing was a hoax is credible, revealing obvious blaring photographic anomalies; exploring the primitive technology available in the 1960s causing disasters such as the destruction of Apollo 1; technical difficulties experienced in the 1960s and 1970s; and the problems of traversing the Van Allen radiation belts.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon explores the possibility the six Apollo Moon missions between 1969 and 1972 were elaborate hoaxes perpetrated by the United States government and NASA. It is a 2001 film directed by Bart Sibrel. The film is narrated by British stage actress Anne Tonelson.
The film reveals previously unknown condemning evidence, a reel of 16mm film that was secret, and inadvertently sent to him by NASA; the film shows Apollo 11 astronauts attempting to create the illusion that they were 130,000 miles (210,000 km) from Earth (or roughly halfway to the Moon) when they were only in a low Earth orbit.
Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon also asserts that NASA's early inexperience in rocket technology and inconsistencies in NASA's records could point to a possible hoax, and that the Space Race was actually a race to develop weapons with the huge budget allocated to the Apollo missions.
The film proposes that NASA may have perpetrated a fraud because of the perception that if the United States could land men on the Moon before the Soviet Union, it would be a major victory in the Cold War, since the Soviets had been the first to achieve a successful space launch (Sputnik 1 in 1957), the first crewed space flight (Vostok 1 in 1961), and the first spacewalk (Voskhod 2 in 1965).
