The backdrop seems a bit grainy compared to the people on the foreground..

I agree that the shuttle doesn't look quite right, but at least it is right side up.
What can we conclude from all of this? This shows NASA is not above faking moon photos. Is this just another example in a long line of fakes, or does this demostrate that almost 40 years after Apollo NASA still can't make a good moon forgery and, thus the moon landing photos must have been real.

Oh, well, we can fix that..

I doubt they're trying to pass this photo off as real, in the sense of taken in front of a shuttle prepped for launch with the moon out. It's just a portrait photo in front of a backdrop.

It looks to me like a bunch of people posed in front of a poster somewhere in the "front" of the building by a publicity hack - equivalent of having a photo of a rugby team in front of a "World Cup 20078" poster. The web-page doesn't claim that they're in front of an actual shuttle - just that they've taken a break from training (it's pretty obvious that they're not training at that moment)...

I just used GIMP to play around a bit.
(I put James on a different layer, then cut the rightmost-guy out and put him on a layer in front, so it'd fit nicely. Then I merged the layers, and smudged things together a bit more)

A moon landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon.

It occurred to me that I made a Ph. D. in cosmic rays (Univ of Lund, the department started with funding from the US Airforce - perhaps because of concern for astronaut radiation protection) and that I later became a health physicist, and that I therefore should make a comment.
My modest comment is that these things a relatively well known and should not present much of challenge:
- the human body’s sensitivity to radiation dose,
- the comic ray spectrum around the Earth, and
- the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field
Another question is: is it possible that the superpowers lie to each other in the space race?
I believe you might not always expect them to tell the truth in military matters.

Not about things that are easily verifiable/observable by the other. And I imagine they'd sooner stay quiet about thing, since that doesn't give the other side any ideas.

Hello,
Actually H. G. Wells landed on the moon in 1901 with his scientific novel "The First Man in the Moon"
Best regards

"we"?
If you are not sure you did, you probably didn't.
