The moons gravity is about 1/16th that of Earth?

So a lot less fuel is required to reach escape velocity and counter its pull.

The most compelling argument FOR the moon landing, was a doco I saw on how it
could be faked.  The arguments for it being faked seemed so easily debunked.

That and the Russians would certainly have caught the US faking it.  They
would have been able to tell if nothing went up.
