MadRiver said:The Russians recently announced that while Yuri Gargarin did in fact go into space, the famous film of him in his capsule was reshot on earth. I recall that either the film quality wasn't very good or perhaps they forgot to put the camera in the capsule, but in any event they figured they'd just crank out a "dramatization" and put it forward as the real thing.
Or, perhaps he never left the ground. You decide.

My great-grandma was born in 1880, her father was a Civil War veteran. She had seen a lot in her day, but simply could not believe that anyone could walk on the moon. She absolutely refused to accept it and insisted to her dying day (1971) that it never occurred. She was educated (retired school teacher), so it wasn't like she was totally ignorant of science, etc.
