Somewhere there is a lovely video of Buzz Aldrin punching a journalist who calls him a liar and a coward. It is a classic!

That was Bart Siebrel ("BS").

...are good places to get more info. That mythbusters episode only touched on some of the stuff - and of course couldn't spend the time to be totaly "scientifical" about it. They still did more than any hoax believer - who generally just says (e.g.) "that photo doesn't look right to me".

Summary: none of the pro-hoax "evidence" holds up to scrutiny. All the hoax people end up with is inuendo and rumour.

Yet - that is enough for the shallow minded, educationally sub normal, mouth breathing inbreed, single digit IQ, loud mouths out there to put it forward as fact whilst at the same time not listening to actual evidence.

Bless em.

If not, an equilibrium would be reached between the gaseous phase and the liquid phase, slightly reducing the vacuum. Simple really.

Not sure about oil, but I've heard there may be Autonomous Robots there

But if it's not real then the astonauts interviewed in the doco movie "In the Shadow of the Moon" are bloody excellent actors. Top watching btw. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925248/

I really liked that film. Buzz Aldrin was a real character: you dont expect them to have such great senses of humour.

No, the moon landings were not fake.

Nice one. But in regards to the test the key point is "over time". Put sand in a chamber and decompress it doesn't instantly make it dry. Overwise I'd replace my stupid 1hour cycle clothes dryer with a vacuum chamber.
