Why Jerry, they probably used the special effects from Star Trek to make it so realistic.

I was a young engineer working at NASA in Houston (Manned Spacecraft Center then) in 1969; I know that the Apollo missions were real. I was at the Vertical Assembly Building during the launch of Apollo 11 and still vividly remember the sound and sight of that launch! There were many in those days who did not believe that we landed on the moon -- it isn't just a present day phenomenon.

Fake cheese!
How about fake Swiss cheese? While growing up all I ever heard was the moon was made of Swiss cheese due to how it looked with all those craters. Never heard it called green cheese.

Google has lots of answers, not always correct. I am 82 and I know that the Moon is not real. It is a toy sold by Toys are Us. It hangs over the Earth on a string and is held in place by the swinging force from the Earth. I hope this clears up this age old mystery.
I also have a Bridge for sale.

Not even limited to that. I know folks who build aircraft for a living; Engineers who think that the earth is flat and no amount of reasoning will change their mind.
It's definitely not a lack of education or information as is the case in a LOT of what we believe and why we believe it.

Did I read your quote right ? You know aeronautical engineers who believe that the Earth is flat ?

Lack of education or just plain bad education knows no generational bounds.
Or refusal to accept facts.

If it was cheese, my wife would require it be Colby Jack!

The Russians were caught faking a space walk, remember when that event hit the news.

How about that when the moon is hit by flying debris it ring as if it's hollow.

I never understood that one, I mean, the moon is not green!? Why couldn't it be made of some sort of Swiss cheese or Nordic cheese. It's definitely too old for American cheese.
Green in the sense, perhaps, of unripe rather than as some point on the color spectrum more-or-less midway between blue and yellow
Definitely agree that Maa Chandra is far too old to be American Cheese Product and that she must be one of the eyed cheeses. Emmental or Jarlsberg seem to be likely candidates, more comparable to a low-density somewhat hollowed-out moon.

If you want the real story of what the moon is made of…..
My father-in-law Ed Schreiber was a mineral physicist (I say ‘was’ because he was tragically killed in a car wreck in 1992) who was on the NASA moon rock committee. He and a colleague published an article (tongue in cheek of course) in Science journal in 1970 with this data:
Lunar rocks and cheeses Sound Velocity, Vp (km/second)
Lunar Rock 10017 1.84
Gjetost (Norway) 1.83
Provolone (Italy) 1.75
Romano (Italy 1.75
Cheddar (Vermont) 1.72
Emmenthal (Swiss) 1.65
Muenster (Wisconsin) 1.57
Lunar Rock 10046 1.25
(Science, 168, 1579, 1970)
See, I’m citing references from a respected journal, so you know for sure that the moon is actually made of cheese.
