Why do so many people believe that the whole "man on the moon" thing was made up? Do you believe that Neil Alden Armstrong landed on the moon in July 20, 1969, or do you think it was all a hoax?

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.

"and with all due respect, Americans are capable of anything"
What a perfect example of how people who have likely never been to the US, let alone know anything about it's people and culture, feel perfectly comfortable believing anything they hear.
I'm really growing weary those people who cant seem to find anything positive about the Nation. Sure is amazing how we continue to lead the world in virtually any category from GDP to standard of living to productivity and how the US continues to be THE destination point for immigrants but at the same time, according to these jealous dorks, is just plain a horrible and corrupt nation despised by all.
Get a life---better yet, build a better country, that should keep you busy for eternity.
PS
Prefacing your comment with "with all due respect" does not give respect to a disrespectful statement.

I believe it...a crazy person can find fault in any thing. some people just get their rocks off trying to persuade people that the government is a hoax and that everything do is propaganda.
Ya gotta make your own decisions and stand up for what you believe...otherwise, you'll fall for anything...even numnuts who can't find a better use for their time than trying to prove everyone wrong.

No I do not think it was a hoax any more than I believe the government brought down the trade center. Have a little faith and do not listen to idiots.

I think it was a hoax and there's enough proof to say so.
And with all due respect, the Americans are capable of anything.

Better yet, are we real, or is it a dream? What is reality? Are you and your question just a subconscious concern buried deep in my thoughts? Am I really typing this question?
