That said, it make an okay documentary but it was a while ago I saw it.
"Something sad happened on the way to the Moon "?

Raises some interesting questions.
Are you referring to that Sibrel movie, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon", where he got some astronaut training footage and claimed it was conclusive proof that the landings were faked? This Sibrel was the same man who pestered Buzz Aldrin to swear on the Bible that he'd been to the moon and then called Aldrin "a coward, a liar, and a thief". Aldrin, being a man among men, thought about this for a while and then decked Sibrel with an uppercut to the jaw.

Sibrel's main scientific proof that the moonshots were a hoax was that the radiation of the Van Allen belts would kill anybody passing through. This is nonsense, the radiation would only have been dangerous if they'd lingered there for days, as it is spaceships move pretty quickly. Besides, Sibrel put the Van Allen belts in the wrong place, raising further questions about his credibility.

All of Sibrel's claims have been shown to be false (a polite way of saying that Sibrel was either ignorant or a liar when he made his claims). The most interesting question raised by his documentary is why anybody would take it seriously in the first place.
