Of course not. There is no evidence what so ever to support this fact. One conspiracy theory I've heard is that in the photo of the moon landing, you can see a prop marked with the letter C in the foreground. According to proponents of this theory, the C is the type of mark used in theatre to organize props.
Unfortunately, the so called c is obviously just a shadow on a rock. And in prop work, the props are not marked with letters.
The moon landing was an important event in US history from a Cold War satnpoint. At this period, the US and the USSR were competing in many arenas, of which the space program was just one. Faking the moon landing would never have worked. The USSR would not have fallen for it.
Also, about the flag "waving:" The flag on the moon is made of metal formed into the shape of a moving flag. It does not move, it simply appears to stand up as in wind.

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.
I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.
12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.
The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?
Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.
Case closed.

i did see tht documentary abt the Moon conspiracy on Discovery channel and i must say tht the evidence collected and projected so well by the reseachers or rather the ppl who were sceptical of the moon landing was over whelming.
yup, i m curious abt the shadows tht werent dark enough and shadows being on the same side of the light, the waving flag, the absence of an imprint on the moon, the rising of the dust and the mysterious deaths of some ppl involved.
all in all, i think tht it was a big cover up, but i cant imagine how they cud get ppl to hold such a big secret.

No. We as the human race made the jump to the next visible orb in our system. While I believe that there is something truely bizzare about area 51 that we just shouldn't know yet, I don't believe it could have been used as a cover up.
Most of this theory comes from a film called "Capricorn One" where the government attempts to fool the public about a space mission gone bad. Hal Holbrook, James Brolin and OJ Simpson
at their best.

No, I doubt that the moon landing was some kind of cover up involving Area 51....Area 51 is just another top secret military base...No Aliens or non of that bs...

No! The moon landing really happened read the article in the link below!
Moon rocks and common sense prove Apollo astronauts really did visit the Moon.

No, Area 51 is being used to cover up secret air force technology.

No, area 51 is utilized to test military technology. If this were so, who put the reflector on the moon that we bounce lasers off of?

Yes I really do, why have nobody been to the moon since then, you and I both know that things have advanced more. If people could go to the moon, they would have been back.

I don't know if it was area 51, but I want to know why the American flag was waving in the breeze on the moon, where it exists in space, which is a vacuum (therefore void of breeze).
