Faking a moon landing today would be easier than ever before. With the special effects and filming capabilities present in movies today you could fake everything any mind can dream up.

maybe...that kinda goes both ways.
I think it would be harder now, then it was in the Apollo era. Sure special effects are far better and cheaper. But When they (Nasa) go back around 2018, High Def will be the norm, so people will notice everything is high detail...making it very hard to fool hundreds of millions of people watching, as well as thousands who will view the video is extreme detail and pick it apart to make sure its legit. Apollo cameras weren't very good, but the new ones will see everything, including stars. Plus by them its possible that there will even be a few telescopes operational that will be able to see the astronauts in real time, which will help corroborate the whole thing.
ther goes my hopes and dreams of spying on the moon-people in their showers by 2018, we could have a telescope that is powerful enough to see them... but the pollution would get in the way and in 2012 the world is gonna end anyway.

actaully shyataroo, we cannot even get a high enough resolution with earth based telescope (or even the hubble) to see the apollo landing sites with any high enough resolution to make it clear. But they were able to track the apollo modules, especailyl when they vented gases or liquids.
