So many people that it wouldn't have been possible. It would have been easier to just go to the moon rather than organize an elaborate hoax just to one-up the Soviets.

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.

Just a couple of astronauts, a couple of camera men, a couple of stage hands and a producer would be enough for the film.
Some people at NASA would need to know, but they have signed to be silent anyway.
The pilot of the transport plane which carried the astronauts prior to their 're-entry' would need to know.
Certainly the rocket launch was true, except there were no astronauts aboard.

Not sure but if you add all the people in or involved with NASA, the JPL, that's jet propulsion laboratory, and countless civilian contractors. All the astronauts etc... you may get some idea of how big a conspiracy it would have had to have been.

Up into the thousands. Many thousands.
(They have sure all been real good at keeping the truth a secret.)

About as many as it would have taken to pull this off.
