I mean, apart from:
Moon rocks
TV images of the Saturn V rocket taking off
Testimony of the Astronauts
Photographs of the rocket, jettisoning stage 1
Pictures of the Earth taken from the Moon
Photographs and video of the Astronauts on the lunar surface, and
A big piece of green cheese
really, what evidence do you have for the Moon landings?
My brother says it was all shot in a gravel pit in Wales, England, and they just turned the gravity down a bit.

No I don't believe man did land on the Moon.
Just a few of the reasons:
Everyone has seen the famous footage of Neil Armstrong stepping off the ladder and giving his "one small step" speech.
I am no physicist but even I know that light travels a lot faster than sound.Therefore we should have seen the pictures long before hearing the words not as it happened.
Also if that was mans first steps on the moon,how come there was a camera there to show it.
The Lunar Landing Module was small.Just enough room for the astronauts and all their tech equipment to be able to blast off from the surface.So how did they get a bloody car up there?(The Lunar Rover or whatever it was called.)
Why would the Americans fake all this?
In the late fifties the President (I forget who it was) was informed by his intelligence services that they had discovered that the Russians were close to having the technology to launch a man into Space.His basic response was So What.When in 1961 Yuri Gagrin became that man he returned to Earth not just as a hero in the Soviet Union but around the World.
This embarrased the American administration and JFK made a speech promising the American people that they would put a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.
In the mid sixties the Americans were no closer to having this technology but once again intelligence sources discovered that the Russians were getting close.
The truth is they were not.It is believed the Russians deliberately leaked this information so that the Americans would spend money on "The Space Race" while they could spend their money on developing new weaponry.
No other country has done it,why?There are plenty who have the money and scientific knowledge.Is it because they have discovered it can't be done?
These are just a few of the reasons I don't believe it happened.

Look at the question scientifically:
Apart from
1.Moon rocks
2.TV images of the Saturn V rocket taking off
3.Testimony of the Astronauts
4.Photographs of the rocket, jettisoning stage 1
5.Pictures of the Earth taken from the Moon
6.Photographs and video of the Astronauts on the lunar surface, and
7.A big piece of green cheese
really, what evidence do we have for the Moon landings?
The answer is of course very little, it was probably all a CIA plot following the assassination of JFK in 1963, to divert attention from the Vietnam War which was LBJ's main source of income.

Conspiracy theorists are often full of question but short on answers. If they can prove where other than the moon this "hoax" was staged allow them to present their evidence. As for the flag flapping, their may not have been wind but there was also little gravity so any movement such as a person forcing it into the ground is going to show up. We often see men floating around in their craft not because of wind but because of the lack of gravity. Conspiracy theories are sell because controversy sells but you have to try to find the best prevailing theory and stay open to other options but not necessarily by into them.

"...just turned the gravity down a bit?"
I'm sorry, sir, but isn't gravity just a theory? What evidence do you have that it exists, apart from:
Landing on your **** when you slip on your copy of "Flat Earth Quarterly"
Testimony of folks who've gone skydiving
The enormous expense and painstaking care that goes into airfoil designs, so that airplanes don't not fly (let's assume for the moment that Bernoulli's Principle is real)
etc.
***
Add this to your list of inadmissable evidence:
"The existence of a superpower ideologically committed to the destruction of the United States, and with every motive to humiliate her, possessing the scientific expertise and intelligence apparatus required to conclusively expose any fraud."
Apparently the "heroic people's expose" memo didn't survive the fall of the Soviet Union.

Remind her Germans even were given it incorrect over WW2. it in many circumstances shuts the ignorant up. the photos coming back from the Moon did so in those dim and distant days by making use of a relay because the Earth grew to change into, and the first position to extremely get carry of them changed into an section talked about as Woomera in Australia, they were then transmitted back up into area to between the few satellites and over to England to the splendidly named Goon-hilly downs, the position they were retransmitted into area and over to (i trust Houston) the position they were then despatched back to Cape Canaveral (Kennedy area centre) 100,000s of people were employed in area analyze by making use of u . s . interior the Sixties, there have been more than a number of people theory the undertaking turned right into a waste of time and money, had the gap photos been faked it ought to were printed on the time, no longer least by making use of u.s. who also picked up stay lots of the transmissions. because the Earth grew to change into Woomera wasn't necessary and neither changed into uk, and the actual Moon walk changed into stay immediately to Houston, a school interior the English Midlands picked up lots of the transmissions, why because they'd their kit pointed on the moon, likewise the U.S.. Your German pal is a dimwit who ought to study her technology and in no way get her advice from dodgy Wikipedia.

Not only did Americans land on the moon, but we apparently left our sense of irony up there.

Reality is only in the eye of the beholder. Truth is simply a matter of viewpoint.

Your brother is wrong. The welsh do not have the technology to turn down the gravity. It was shot in Tunisia where they shot Star Wars. Oh, and the green cheese is a myth, it is kind of grayish brown.

sure. and they then used that device to turn the gravity down, to power secret space-going spacecraft, which are more widely known as UFOs ;-)
