The usual "skeptic" is someone who defends the consensus of
professionals by means of an either-or dichotomy between "science" and
"pseudoscience" relying on appeal to "authority" while ridiculing
critics. It's lucky the moon landings succeeded if they tried to rely on
relativity!

The 'usual skeptic' would look at the 'body language' of these heros.
They didn't look very pleased, for instance, while being honored by standing ovations.
Those were, apparently, 'orchestrated' by these guys sitting in the middle of the audience.
But some sort of positive emotions would be a natural reaction to that kind of applause.
But that didn't happen. Instead of smiling and grinning, the astronauts bowed their heads down, what is not the usual sign for good feelings.
