Also, I don't recall anyone at the time worrying that people would not 
believe this was happening.

Given the tens of thousands who built the vehicle, the tens of thousands 
who saw its takeoff with their own eyes, the tracking of the vehicle by 
various countries and even amateurs, the thought that people would be 
crazy enough to say "this didn't happen", simply didn't occur.

Not that we didn't have crazy people in those days.  But in that distant 
past they confined their gibbering to communist conspiracies, 
demon-infested politicians, and being Napoleon.

Any day now I expect to hear of a "D-day" didn't happen conspiracy.
