About the light sources, yes there are anomalies. It wasn't until a program called Raytracer appeared that you could simulate lighting effects on 3d objects. This happened to be the Commodore Amiga, which of course was banned in the US because it was also a useful hacking tool,as it would appear as invisible on the BBS networks that later became the Net.
A little history for you

The technology came to me in dreams, but since 1988 i have been following these dreams & discussions,
i se no alternative, but to follow these dreams, that have led me to so many truths

That may be the story you are told, but i was there from the model 500 onwards, and can assure you that the Amiga's ability to generate false IP adresses randomly, was the key point to it not being imported.
Further i can assure you that the guys who designed the B52 Rock Lobster board left to work for Apple.
Apple endorsed the system set up from Amiga They took it to the next level which was the imac....know your history.
My old A1200 has a bootup of 58 seconds, has instant internet access and 4 extra drives, WAY ahead of it's time i DARE you to say you had something better in 1990.......
Oh, mine has a few 80Gb drives, also impossible in the 90's but it supports them anyway, just as it supports MP3 coding.
That is called thinking ahead.....

Nonsense, IP addresses are allocated to you by a remote server, they are not created on your own computer unless your running your own internal server.
A1200 cannot in anyway support a 80GB drive, it can't even support 32bit bus not to mention the fact the file system cannot even support drives more then 4GB in size and to mention that 80GB drives were not even invent in the early 90s.
What the heck is going on here.
You're talking to a person who would cobble back together a laptop thrown from a 50 story building and make it mostly work again.

The A1200 supports 4 gig sections, these can be accessed via several startup modes, it can handle 6 drives at a time.
They can support 32 bit, mine can read any PC drive including the CAB files.
MP3 & the CD werent around in the 80's either, but mine has no problem playing them.
Ever heard of co-processors, extended memory, algorithms? I was using a stereo 16 bit sampler as a real-time effects machine in 91 on this machine.
It's only because of the fact that the designers went to work for APPLE that spelled the death of the Amiga.
Is it still banned in the US?

The Germans at that time, were running ctty (teletype) progs on their C64's and sending that via CB radio, it was annoying at times since the 'modem sound' would bleed over the adjacent channels....
And i still don't have a Windoze pc that boots within 60 seconds, the closest is the Apple el kapitan.

To answer the OP's question. I do.
I've seen ZERO proof that we DIDN'T land on the moon. Oh sure, I've heard all the stupid theories like "Stanley Kubric did it" or any of the many others. The fact is, there is NO proof that we didn't. There IS proof that we did.
