So what about it, was what they depicted about such a mission ( I mean if it were real ) the way Apollo was?
I am watching it again online and I was thinking if those three astronauts were pulled the ground crew would know immediately because of two things, one the instrumentation on the space suits and when the craft was launched, it would have been 500 or so pounds lighter so would have accelerated a bit more than they calculated.

Still, Hal holbrook was great in this movie. 1977. Nasa was onboard with it.

I wonder if this movie was the source of the idea that the moon landing was faked? Not sure when the first cursed book came out, before 77?

Found it:
from wiki

"An early and influential book about the subject of a moon-landing conspiracy, We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, was self-published in 1976 by Bill Kaysing."

The first of many traitors. So Kaysing was the intellectual source for Capricorn one.

I was speaking about technical details and whatnot. I know that NASA lent the use of actual Apollo equipment to the film, but I'm wondering if technical details were realistic. I know this was supposedly a Mars shot and not a Moon shot, but still. I was born after Apollo ended, so it was the technical aspects I was asking about.

The scenes I saw were not clear enough to say but it did look authentic. I have been doing long hours at work and can't devote 2 hours to the movie to critique it just yet but I do want to view it when I have time. I wonder if it is available on Netflix. which I have at home.

What do the moon landings say about intelligent design?

To me it says that something functionally complex as a space ship doesn't just happen by
chance, let alone life which is by far even more functionally complex than a space ship.

A spaceship didn't happen by chance. It was built by man.

I know, and I believe life started by being built by God along with the universe.

For your logic to be complete, how did something as complex as god get here? Must not god have had a creator?

Unlike the universe God wasn't made, instead He is eternal. Everyone puts dates upon the
universe, they can disagree with the ages they assign, but they don't claim its eternal. The
question of where and how it came into being is something quite beyond man and science.

A claim with no evidence can be dismissed without proof!

You accept the concept of eternity,then why can't you accept the idea that the universe may be eternal?

In logic, i've always thought that an eternal being would take his own sweet time to create

Time to God is meaningless, so how, and when He does what He does will remains a mystery to us.

That has nothing to do with the creation.
That and all illnesses are a function of sin.
Here is a clear connection between a physical condition and sin.
(Mark 2:9-11) Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’? 10 But in order for you to know that the Son of man has authority to forgive sins on earth—” he said to the paralytic: 11 “I say to you, Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home.”
