Okay, boss, this LTX-71 concealable mike is part of the same system that NASA used when they faked the Apollo Moon landings. They had the astronauts broadcast around the world from a sound stage at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernadino, California. So it worked for them, shouldn't give us too many problems.

That's not true. Everyone knows that Coppola forced them to shoot on-site.

Coppola: If I'm going to make a fake moon landing video it's going to be the best damn one ever created. We're shooting on site, and that's final!

I believe someone did the math and supposedly showed that it would have been cheaper to actually land on the moon than fake it with what they had available at the time.
