We can be sure that men have been on the Moon. There are three reasons.
First, the Soviet Union was our competitor in the space race, and they would genuinely have loved to tell everybody that we faked it, if that was what happened. They didn't take any bribes from us to say it was real. Their radars are just as good as ours and they tracked our ships all the way to the Moon and watched them land and take off again.
Second, we left laser reflectors up there, which many scientist have verified by aiming their lasers up there and getting the reflections. They weren't aligned that precisely just by being dumped from orbit! They were put there, by our astronauts.
Third, we have the moon rocks, which we have been able to compare to other moon rocks; ones that were ejected when big meteors hit the Moon, and both are the same type and age of rock. Again, scientists the world over have studied them.
With respect to an earlier answerer, who mentioned global warming, I don't believe that global warming is caused by our pollution, because it is also happening on Mars and on the Moon. NASA has photos of the Martian ice cap shrinking over the past few decades. It is not due to human causes.

Yes, we walked on the moon, look at what the Bad Astronomer has to say about those idiots who think people never walked on the moon.
