Under the heading "Historical accuracy", the final sentence states "Also the Moon was not full in the preceding two weeks prior the moon landing, while in the movie they used a full moon to retrieve the signal." (emphasis added) No source is provided for this. Can anyone explain what "using a full moon to retrieve a signal" is? It's my understanding that the phases of the moon are strictly a matter of the moon and earth's positions relative to the sun, so I don't understand how a full (or new) moon would affect the reception of a radio signal. And I suspect "receive" would be a better term than "retrieve" for a signal, since "retrieve" implies that someone travels to somewhere else to get something; hardly the case with a radio signal.
