I don't believe any of the others listed, but I had a grandmother that went to her grave swearing the moon landings were fake.

I understand older generations having a hard time believing the moon landings happened, and I don't blame them. It's easier to understand when you include the fact that many of our grandparents and great-grandparents were witness to the birth of flight. 40 years after that and we were still barely able to fly B-17s from bases in England to Germany and back, and 25 years after that we're landing on the moon.

The growth curve of flight and technology was exponential in the 20th century, but it's understandable that someone who bore witness to that would have a hard time reconciling it with the moon landings.
