There were quite a few points that he made
1. The room number that they were staying in was 237 (in the book it was 219), this was apprently a referance a the distance between the earth and the moon.
2. The child in the film was wearing an apollo 11 jersey.
3. In the month there was a shot of a set of twin girl. This was supposed to be a referance to the gemini program.
4. Jake the charactor in the film repeativly wrote with the type writer "all work and no play, made jake a dull boy". He stated tha the "all" in the sentence was a reference to Apollo 11 (a-ll).
5. One of the film techniques that stanley uses in this film making is called 'rear projection'. On the final print of the film (using this technique) it leaves a mark, sort of like a blurred meteor. This is on some of the moon landing photos.
There are a few others.....I think its not true, but I must say i like the theory..
