Yeah, that's why I love that fact too. Sending a rocket into space and landing on a tiny ball of rock was literally easier than pretending to do it.

Actually, the moon landing was faked but for realism purposes they filmed it on location.

Nah, the technology to fake the moon landing straight up didn't exist in the 60s. There's a really good video on youtube that goes over it but I can't seem to find it right now. But basically, even though there were some nice techniques to make special effects for movies, they wouldn't have worked for faking an actual moon landing.

I mean, they can but it takes time to do that and until they do /r/pics is adhering to the letter of the law (or at least an interpretation of it) while spitting in the face of the spirit of the law.

Ah, no, swearing is allowed as long as it's vulgarity, profanity is what requires an NSFW tag. It's a very important distinction that the Reddit ToS accidentally makes.

So, in conclusion: Fuck -> No NSFW tag. Hell -> Yes NSFW tag.
