"I'm constantly amazed how people can take the dodgiest of websites seriously."
Put simply, it's all down to the internet. It was hard to access twenty years ago and conspiracy theories didn't reach much of the population. In those days, we (astronomers) used to get typed letters with lots of handwritten notes, usually written in red ink, explaining all the errors we made. I still remember a letter I got from someone who sent me a star chart and joined up some of the stars to make them look like a space shuttle. I forget the argument he was trying to make but was impressed with his dot-joining ability.
Now anyone can create a site that looks credible. Oh, for the old times when the internet was still young...
