  What I find amusing is that the satire article at Onion doesn't say that
Armstrong confessed to the hoax. It clearly says that Armstrong "had been
convinced by a conspiracy theorists that it was a hoax" (including his
historic first step on the Moon). Which of course makes absolutely no sense.
(How can he not know at the time he was just participating in a hoax, and
only be convinced later?) Yet some people just bought it without thinking
about it for a second.
