This is just too funny:

LOL! My parents, who were avid antique collectors and dealers,
collected quite a few of these antique 'View Master' reels and
viewers over the years; many of them are still stored in boxes
and collecting dust out in the barn. Some of the reels include
1950s & 60s Disneyland, and Disney cartoon characters of films
and television. Others are classic national park photos, Grand
Canyon, Yellowstone etc. Most of these reels are in single and
three-pack bundles, and they're really fun to view, even today.
But these "manned" Moon landing reels are _hilariously_ bogus!
The Moon is FAR beyond the reach of manned spacecraft, to wit:

To give you an idea of the scale involved, if each hard line
break in the chart below equals roughly 10,000 miles, to wit:
x------Moon's mean geocentric distance ~239,000 miles---x

Then the low-earth shuttle orbit would fit somewhere between
the center and baseline of the bottom 'x'--hardly visible at
all at this scale. And yet, that is the highest altitude any
manned flight has ever successfully sustained for any length
of time. But the "men to the moon" fairytale devotees don't
want to face up to these and other glaring facts in evidence:
