1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.
Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean
Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell
Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin
Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke
Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt
2) Why haven't we been back?
a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.
b) 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.
c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?
3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?
The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.
The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."
"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.
4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?
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!
5) What about the USSR?
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.
6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars? Who took the video of Neil Armstrong?
Take a look at the first two websites listed below. They deal well with all of the technical questions.
7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

No. The U.S. landed six different missions on the moon, and men walked on the surface each time. Neil Armstrong was the first.

Allah was proud of Man on that day.

Some of them believed that the video that was shooted at moon was actually shooted on earth and they say this because there was 4 shadows of Armstrong and that can only be possible if there are 4 huge camera lights focusing on Neil in different directions. So, its ur choice that whether you believe it or not..

He did land on the moon. If you bother to read the full documentation, you'd realise that a lot of that informations attention to detail is too fine for someone to fake. The flag moving is residual vibration.
Anyway, what makes you guys who refute the moon landings experts on what happens on the moon. Have you been there?

That is not true. Better say too that the Pilgrims never mad plymouth rock, and that Lewis and Clark never went West. All of the "evidence" that the moon landings were faked has been so thoroughly refuted that anyone still clinging to that theory is a die hard conspiracy buff with no care for facts and/or is simply seeking attention by making controversey where there is none.

The flag section has been totally defined distinctive cases. First, the flag pole had an arm related at a ninety diploma perspective from which the flag replaced into hung so it would be seen. The flag replaced into additionally furled slightly so as that it would seem to be rippling interior the wind. finally, the reason you notice some undemanding action from the flag in some video photos is that the astronauts had twisted the flag pole to and fro to force it further into the soil. That needless to say might make the flag flap to and fro slightly.

He actually landed on the moon with his left leg. With him was Edwin Alberge. They only say that Neil Amstrong was first because he was the first one who got out from the rocket.

Only foil-hat wearing conspiracy theory nincompoops believe we didn't go to the Moon.
The flag wasn't waving in any breeze, it was reacting to being unfolded. Also, it was supported by a bar at the top to make it stick out.
There was light from the sun, as well as light being reflected off the landing vehicle.
As for your other two questions, you'll have to actually ASK them to receive an answer.
