Брайан Тодд О'Лири , ученый, астронавт НАСА (Scientist-astronaut) в 1967-68 о том, не являются ли его слова о возможной фальсификации высадок на Луну, сказанные в интервью Fox TV ("Regarding the Apollo mission, I can't say 100% for sure whether these men walked on the Moon. It's possible that NASA cut corners just to be the first to allegedly go to the Moon. NASA could have covered it up. If some of the film was spoiled, it's remotely possible they may have shot some scenes in a studio environment to avoid embarrassment.") вырванными из контекста: (вольный перевод, точный текст на английском ниже!):
"Я не смотрел шоу (я никогда не знаю о таких вещах
пока они не случаются), но я верю, что программа Аполлон удалась в целом (я присутствовал при этом), но имею некоторое остаточное сомнение относительно самих высадок, я в них не участвовал, так кто я такой, чтобы знать в точности что-то, кроме официального мнения и комментариев моих друзей и коллег, которые там были [высаживались]?
На мои вопросы об активности на лунной поверхности иногда отвечали странно - поэтому немного сомнения. Такие вещи трудно правильно сформулировать и, конечно, подобные шоу выдергивают фразы из контекста.
В этом смысле, я полагаю, вы могли бы назвать меня скептиком." http://homepages.wmich.edu/~korista/moonhoax2.html

In a February 17, 2001 email to former NASA astronaut Brian O'Leary ('67-'68 astronaut training program), I
included the following question. (He was informed his
answer would be distributed to the skeptical ommunity.)

Dear Dr. O'Leary:
Question: Regarding your comments on the Fox-TV special
"Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?," do you
feel the producers selectively took quotes from your
interview in order to make it appear that you agree with
the claim that the Apollo moon landings were hoaxed, or
do you actually believe that a hoax took place?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Fox special - selectively quoted?
Dear Mr. Conrad,
I didn't see the show (I never know about these things
until after they happen), but I believe Apollo did
happen in its entirety (I was there), but have a small
residual doubt about the landings themselves, because
I didn't go, so who am I to know for sure, besides the
official word and comments from my friends and
colleagues who did go? Answers to my questions about
activity on the lunar surface were answered strangely
at times--hence a bit of doubt. These things are
tricky to phrase right, and of course shows such as
these do quote out of context.
In this sense I guess you could call me a skeptic.
Brian O'Leary, Ph.D.
