He's almost dead now though, and he's got enough money. I'm sure he could make considerably more money going public with the greatest scam in the world than he could continuing to be the first man on the moon for a few more years. I do agee there is a pride issue at stake though, but living your entire life a lie?

That said, there are loads of other people who were involved, most of whom get no publicity, money etc from their involvement who could come forward with the information. I know if i was involved with the space (or not so space) programme, and i knew it was all a scam i'd jump at the chance to bag myself a few million $$$ !!
