...and? Don't get me wrong, it required incredible ingenuity to haul living men all the way out there, get them to hop about in low-G on a barren rock, and then haul them back still alive, but it's not like we gained much from it except bragging rights over the Soviets, who are long gone by now anyway. Keep some perspective.

Non-sequitur. Your question was:
What the dickens does it matter if the guy doesn't believe anyone walked on the moon?
The answer to your question is: "Today's unchallenged absurdity is tomorrow's unchallengeable platitude." Personally, I believe that if one values things such as intellectual integrity, it is important to challenge such absurdities wherever they occur, provided one does so with dignity and tact.
@Omni: there's no way I am good enough to come up with that quote unaided, so it's almost certainly someone else's. I don't recall at the moment where I first heard it...but it was definitely worth remembering.
"The nation that controls magnesium controls the universe."
Yes, and I'm saying if it becomes an unchallengeable platitude humanity doesn't lose out on much, so I personally do not care. The whole thing was a colossal waste of money anyway. It's not even in much danger of becoming an unchallengeable platitude, as only crackheads (and Canadians, apparently) believe that crud. It doesn't bother me when people babble slander about all our leaders being reptiloid aliens out to enslave us, and if that were believed it would actually matter. Why should I care about this?
Source? It's common knowledge. Do I need a source for "the sky is blue" too?
Yes, that's what I asked. I see the sky is blue. I don't see evidence of your mouth, other than other your mouth.
Put up, dude. I'm not even that religion, and I think you're full of crap.

That's right, Sloww. I'm seriously asserting that the Presbyterians and the Jains, two religious groups with absolutely nothing in common, are united in a shared belief that the moon landing was faked.
You've been on the web too long; you can't tell when someone's screwing around without a smiley. I'm pretty sure there's a 12-step program for that.

I'm pretty sure theres a program for people that talk bull**** too.
