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.

No. It would be fairly difficult to fake the scenarios given the television technology in the 1960's. On the Apollo 14 mission, watch Alan Shepard hit that golf ball; the way he hit it (one-handed in that moon suit), if he had been in full Earth gravity, there is no way that ball could have carried the way we saw it. Some site years ago noted the U.S. flag posted on the moon looked like it was flying in the photos taken, and since there is no wind on the moon this was "obviously fake". Those of us old enough to have been able to watch the event on TV saw that the flag was unrolled and looked starched - -essentially standing unfurled on its own. They did this BECAUSE there is no wind on the moon.

AHHHHHHHHHHHGHHH !!!!! Another moon landing question. Without a hell of a lot of research - try and imagine what would be involved in "faking" the world's single, biggest event of the 20th century. And all under the covert microscope of the Russian KGB, the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of engineers and support workers involved, the news' media, etc...etc...........

No, I think they're real, but it's a popular conspiracy theory - I guess because it's so controversial. Plus, it would be really hard for anyone to prove conclusively. It's like a sci-fi govt cover-up thriller that titillates those who are open to such conspiracies. It weaves, ties and binds through a whole parcel of possible conspiracies including assassinations and international intrigue. In this case, it's extra-terrestrial intrigue.

No. On top of all the evidence we have, and the mirrors set up to do distance measurements, there's the minor fact that the Russians would have said something if they had even SUSPECTED any fakery. There was a cold war on, remember?

I think it was fate. It was all stage as far as being on the moon. Today I believe they got some kind of machinery up there but not man.

No there were and are to many people involved to fake something like that. even in those days reporters investigated deeply anything they could.
