The Lockheed A-12, which was a precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, had its first flight in 1962 according to Wikipedia. The damn thing looks modern to me even by today's standards. For the reasons you state above, along with the somewhat conflicting point that we had the ability to create the A-12 in the early 60's (which to me demonstrates we did have outstanding technical capabilities), I remain open-minded on whether we landed on the moon or not. After listening to Groubert's insights, it's entirely possible that the whole moon-landing thing was a CIA-backed propaganda piece.
