Yes. And I have no doubt about it whatsoever.
1) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.
2) In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.
If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!
3) Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.

Unbelievable that people think 69 was fake... It was a race between the US and the USSR during the cold war.... They beat us into space, then beat us again by getting the first man into space, so we set the goal to be the first on the moon and made it... The Apollo program continued after the historic Apollo 8 flight with several more landings on the Moon. The only failure was Apollo 13 because of an exploding oxygen tank... The American public finally lost interest because it became old hat and we stopped going..... We can easily make it back there today, the only reason we don't is because it is expensive and we have to justify the cost first....

America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.
Other Conspiracies to think about:
1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.
2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.
3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection. The man on the grassy knoll was really a CIA agent employed by Castro under orders from Giancana and Marcello with direct communications with Kruschev...or something like that.
4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.
5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.
6. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality.
7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.
8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Yes. The doubt cast here is another example of revisionist history.
1) Think about the best special effects that Hollywood had to offer in the 1960s. They weren't good enough to make you really believe something was real. You had to use your imagination. Refer to the first link below that examines the photographic evidence.
2) The Van Allan Radiation Belts are not lethal to human beings over the short durations involved. EVEN IF the whole 8-day trip was spent in the belts, with ONLY 3 mm of aluminum shielding, the effective dosage would only be around 7 mSV, comparable to some higher-end x-ray scans.

Van Allens Belts -
Actually, of all the issues put forth by the Moon Hoax advocates, this is the one that requires the most digging into. The Van Allen radiation belts are a pair of toroidal-shaped belts of high-energy electrons and ions trapped in the Earth's magnetic field. The inner region is centered at about 3000 km above Earth and has a thickness of about 5000 km. The outer region is centered at about 15,000 -- 20,000 km above the surface of the Earth and has a thickness of 6,000 -- 10,000 km. The radiation in the belts was of some concern to the scientists working on the problem. However, they actually considered a rogue solar flare to be a much bigger problem. In fact, as stated in an official government report, the scientists working on the problem of Van Allen radiation considered it to be minor compared to other design hurdles to be conquered. Their solution was simple -- avoid exposure by keeping the spacecraft at low Earth orbit altitudes while in parking orbits and then send it through the belts at high speed. The eventual escape speed, some 25,000 miles per hour, would have passed them through the belts in less than an hour, keeping their dose well below 1 rad. There was a modicum of shielding from the equipment, but in the end this was not necessary as the extraordinary transition speed kept the dose below harmful limits -- both going to and returning from the Moon.

no, never, also, JFK was killed by the FBI, The davinci code is true, Elvis lives in Panama, the world is flat and there is nothing west of Kansas.
Although i do have a little difficulty believe the americans were capable of it.
I do wonder why people are so intrigued by conspiracy theories. Are they all bored or something.
