Faked Moon Landings
===================
MILES:
We have on the line now, an anonymous NASA employee who can confirm whether the moon landing was faked. Anonymous NASA employee, good evening.
NASA:
(D) Good afternoon, Moles.
MILES:
It has been suggested that the moon landings were faked.
NASA:
(D) That is correct.
MILES:
They *were* faked?
NASA:
(D) That is correct. The moon landings were, indeed, faked.
MILES:
But new images from a US spacecraft has captured images of Apollo landing sites on the Moon. You can see hardware and footprints and everything!
NASA:
(D) Yes. And if you follow the footprints along, using Google Moon, you'll see they lead to an enormous television studio just on the edge of the Sea of Tranquility.
MILES:
So, you're saying the moon landings *were* faked (BEAT) but on the moon!!?
NASA:
(D) That's right! To throw conspiracy theorists everywhere, we thought we'd catch'em out good and proper. So we flew to the moon, built a studio and filmed the fake moon landings in there.
MILES:
But you had to get there to fake it?
NASA:
(D) (PAUSE) What?
MILES:
You had to get to the Moon, to build the studio in the first place.
NASA:
(D) (PAUSE) We did?
MILES:
Yup.
NASA:
(D) (PAUSE – SHOUTS IN BACKGROUND) Hey Boys! You're not gonna believe this! We've only gone and landed on the frikkin' Moon!!
F/XHONE BEING DROPPED AND HANGING. JOCKS 'WOOHOO'-ING, 'YEAH'-ING AND HIGH-FIVING IN DISTANCE
MILES:
Hello?
F/XEAD LINE
MILES:
NASA there. Never let it be said they don't know what they're doing.
