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.

It is interesting that some cospiracists will show video saying that the government blocked out UFO or moon bases but that we didn't land there. A conspiracy of a conspiracy? It has also been suggested that these aliens wouldn't let us go there until we were invited. OK, whatever........still, It doesn't change your life much whether you know for sure or not....does it? Whatayagonnado? Keep an open mind, but not so much that your brains will fall out. That's what JFK did. Here is someone else you might find interesting to listen to.

I think the U.S. was in such a rush to be #1 on the moon and from all the conspiracy tapes that I've seen, like the one with the flag blowing in the wind on the moon, that yes it was all a big hoax just to show the rest of the world that USA is #1

It's been proven numerous times that we have landed on the moon. One instance is that the astronauts in 1969 planted a mirror on the moon therefore allowing NASA to fire a laser at it to record the exact distance of the moon to the Earth. If we weren't there there would be nothing there to reflect the laser for measurement.

I was in the Air Force when man landed on the moon. Much to my delight, the outfit I served in developed photographs for most government agencies.
Because of a piece of equipment that I excelled in using we developed the FIRST prints from the moon.
We had to color correct (as all prints are) the prints. They had to come from an alien environment. We had no color guidelines. Film is manufactored on earth to display colors thet are true on earth. How do you correct to colors on the Moon?
We corrected the American Flag (Red, White, & Blue).

maybe.... but i mean NASA has the potential of taking men up there, why would they lie? <_< well ya iknow, why wouln't they. well the only good thing i see in men not landing in the moon is the feeling of some ppl that the U.S. owns the moon. other than that, no

Yes, we definitely landed on the moon. If you don't believe it, find someone with a short-focus telescope and look at the landing site for yourself.

If Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin really say they were on the moon, then yes, we were on the moon.
But who's to know that life is not a hoax?

If you go to that big telescope in New Mexico you can see one of the land rovers. really I've seen it.. It has to be a full moon at night.
Of course I might be in on the conspiracy.
