There is much evidence that it was a hoax. there was a TV documentary that pretty well proves it is a hoax. they show how the shadows cast by the rocks come from two directions yet the only light source was the sun. There were other things as well that prove it was done on a stage.
Do I believe it was a hoax? I have to sit on the rail about it. I know what I saw in the TV documentary and I know of the misconceptions the USA government does all the time so it looks like a hoax but I sure wish it wasn't.

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.

Yes we did....I quested that once too because I was watching a documentary on it and they gave all the answers as to why it would be considered a hoax, but then the showed you how there was no way that it was a hoax and what produced the events that helped people to believe it wasn't real...

I don't know!! The evidence of it being a hoax is so believable but its so hard to believe that it didn't really happen.
