Okay, how's this?
I'm not saying that there was never a moon. Of course there used to be a moon. People in the past confirmed it was made of cheese. Well, everyone knows cheese doesn't last forever, not even in the sub-zero coldness of space. (By the way, space can't really be that cold or the Earth would be a giant ball of ice. Why am I the only one who understands all of this?) Over thousands of years, small bits of the cheese moon would break of and melt in the Earth's atmosphere -- the so-called meteorite showers and "shooting stars". Near the end of the 1940's scientists realized the moon was getting so small that something would have to be done quickly for all the lovers who wanted to make out in the moonlight. Around 1953, a technology of hologram projection was created that was so far ahead of its time that scientists kept it a secret for over 30 years. Suddenly there was a bright shining moon in the sky again. What do you think caused the Baby Boom? The fact that it coincided with the creation of the holographic moon proves that my entire story is indisputable fact!
Better?
