Didn't Buzz Aldrin punch a guy in the nose that told him that Apollo 11 was a fake and cooked up in a hollyweird studio? I think so.

Back when I joined the Army, after basic training they mistakenly classified me as a 21L and sent me to Redstone Arsonal in Alabama to repair Pershing missles, when they were supposed to send me to Ft. Gordon, GA as a 26L to repair microwave radios. For the week that I was at Redstone while they corrected my paperwork, I didn't do anything but sight see. On one side of the hill in Huntsville was Redstone, and on the other side was a NASA museum where they had a lot of neat stuff, like a Saturn IV rocket as in Apollo. One huge rocket. Also in Huntsville was Morton Thiokol, the people that made the T6 aluminum o-ring that got blamed for the Challenger explosion. I walked through the lathe that cut those o-rings with a finished o-ring still mounted. The lathe was vertical, taller than a 2 story house. Huge.
