In order to convince any intelligent, worldly people that the moon landings were a hoax, please provide us with an intelligent answer to the following, or go and find someone who can, for instance a systems engineer or integrator.
Yes it is possible to shoot the moon landings in the desert, more so in the last 10 years, but perhaps not so convincingly in the 1960s. However, please describe the processes by which you would integrate the film production into the systems at Houston control, so that the 150 or so controllers there are fooled for the seven years of the Apollo program.
Did you not know that in the 1960s, you could not do “real time” systems integration of any kind. To put a system into the monitors of Houston control such that for 7 years the controllers were unwittingly seeing a simulation of moon shots rather than the real thing, you would need to bring down all the systems for some time, and you would have to do it repeatedly until you got the scam correct.

Anyone who has ever been involved in the installation of a complex computer system will know that you need a long testing schedule, and it never (I repeat, never) works first time without any monumental hitches.
When would a team of IT professionals and engineers do this such that 150 controllers were unaware? How could they make the simulation so foolproof that over 7 years, very often 24 hours a day (three shifts), the controllers never became aware that they were not watching the real thing? How would they ensure that every second of each moon shot (it took days to get there) was synchronised to look like the real thing, bearing in mind that just one little hiccup in the system would be picked up immediately by the controllers.

Hopefully now you will see that you and nobody else can answer these questions because the whole notion of the moon landings being a hoax is far far beyond any kind of sense at all. But if you are still not convinced, please go and get some experts to provide a mechanism for the surreptitious integration of moon landings simulation software into the systems at Houston for the duration of the Apollo program.

its fascinating how many people are constantly challenging what occurred in history..be it that the holocaust never existed, or that the US never landed on the moon.
What is more fascinating is how many people mistrust that which is told to them as fact. I lived through the era of the space race and moon landings. i saw launches in Florida; read the newspapers, and lived with the dreams and sometimes the tragedy's of spaceflight. for something that just didn't happen, well they sure put a lot of effort into for a lie.
personally, I believe it happened. If another doesn't, well i ain't going to stay up nights worrying about it.

The question I always ask is;
If man never walked on the moon, how did the lunar laser ranging retroreflector array get there?
At that point, the conspiracy nuts usually run back to their mom's basement and put on their tin-foil hat...

You miss the point, unfortunately.
Some people simply refuse to let facts get in the way of a good story.

A few people say that the movie "Capricorn One" was how they did this. Some also say that area 51 was where they filmed it. But that's just my opinion.

I fully agree with you!
