Of course, to a lot of people nowadays, we never went to the moon in the
first place, and Denys, by watching and believing his shows, is being
extremely gullible. It was all a giant hoax, conducted in a television studio
in the Nevada desert. In that regard, ABC News presented the following item

A Punch in the Face

Lunar Landing Skeptic Says Buzz Aldrin Attacked Him

B E V E R L Y   H I L L S, Calif., Sept. 10 -- Detectives are investigating a
complaint that retired astronaut Buzz Aldrin punched a man in the face after
being asked to swear on a Bible that he had been to the moon.

Officers were called on Monday to the Luxe Hotel on Rodeo Drive and took a
report from Bart Sibrel, 37, who said he was attacked by the former Apollo 11
astronaut.
Aldrin, 72, had left the hotel when police arrived about 4:30 p.m. and was
not interviewed, said Beverly Hills Police Lt. Joe Lombardi.

Sibrel, of Nashville, Tenn., said he does not believe Aldrin or anyone else
has ever walked on the moon.

He said he was trying to confront Aldrin about his 1969 lunar mission when he
was punched. The incident was videotaped, he said.

An early morning telephone call left at the office of Aldrin's publicist was
not immediately returned
