Also, there's the side effect that if you faked a moon landing in the 1960s, you'd be damned sure the other superpower on the planet would have their best and brightest laser-focused on your product.
Convincing fakes usually have misdirection as a big component, because faking something under close expert scrutiny is orders of magnitude more difficult.
