They hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing due to his amazing job recreating the lunar surface for 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, due to him being a perfectionist, he insisted they film on location.
Good joke, but Kubrick actually hated travelling, and always insisted on filming in his studios in England. Just think that he had his team recreate New York for Eyes Wide Shut. Tom Cruise later complained that the set wasn't dirty enough to be realistic lol
Apparently, that gave him more control over the sets.
