On the other hand, about 16 years earlier and by a miracle perhaps, the rate of success for a man (not a capsule or alike) to land on the moon and return back home (I think 6 times) was 100%.
I personally find hard to believe also in scientific miracles. But I guess it is not a crime if someone likes to believe in any sort of miracles in order for him to feel better.
Delusional thinking is rarely a good thing, but often a god thing. It's when people insist we should share something that's purely in their heads that problems start.
As for Wireless World, remember that magazines have no requirement to be accurate.
Oh, and remember Apollo 13?
If believing that it was about 'real' moon landing(s) makes you feel better, I see no reason for you not to believe it.
After all, each person, theist/atheist, has his religious/professional accurate trusted sources that are in charge to present him, for free, the true stories he may be interested in. This explains why almost everyone in the world is happy the way he believes; this is indeed one of the things that makes the world wonderful.
