The Apollo 11 astronauts, after spending a week in super tight close quarters on the spacecraft, were quarantined into a little capsule upon arrival back on earth. Travelled by ship in the capsule. Then the capsule got loaded onto an airplane, which was flown back to Cape Canaveral, where they had a slightly larger enclosed capsule to live in (separated from family except through a window) for another couple weeks.
Then, and only then, were they released and paraded out for the news conference with a huge crowd and hundreds of cameras.
Now ask yourself, what kind of mood and mental state would you be in after all that?
I'm not saying there wasn't some shady shit going down. Maybe they saw something on the moon, or maybe there was something they were prevented from talking about. But it is important to view this event in the proper context.
This should have been their moment of glory before finally getting to go home to their families. They had allegedly just accomplished the greatest feat in human history yet they look like the cat that swallowed the canary. Shameful frauds.
