Not just the technical aspects like the photography but the very idea that JFK could announce in 1961 they would go to the moon by the end of the decade and lo and behold, they did. In 8 years? We can't even build an Olympic stadium in that amount of time.
As the years pass, and CGI special effects get ever more sophisticated, the more the space hardware starts to look a bit craptastic. Especially that paper US flag taped messily onto the side of the Lunar landing craft. They couldn't afford a nice plaque out of all the billions of dollars?
And does anyone really believe Apollo 13 went tits up on April 13 after a malfunction of fuel cells 1 and 3?
