(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)
I saw a rebuttal that said the special effects at the time couldn't have faked it.

On the other hand, do you know one of the companies that supposedly made the Saturn-V?
Boeing.
At least their build quality was generally good back then. I wouldn't trust them to build a Saturn V today.
Arguably their quality contributed to them being allowed to effictively oversee themselves. Did it save some time and red tape at the time? Yes. Did it eventually lead to hundreds of deaths? Also yes.
So what? SEGA made the first Saturn, and they're still... around... uh
It looks fine on a CRT at 480i

Yeah, but think about what the GOVERNMENT could afford! They were SUPER rich back then!

But that's a low-budget show. The Apollo Program had billions to invest in VFX.
