Read the following and stop being a child:
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.
If you do not know about systems integration, you have to 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.
Who were this team of Engineers and IT professionals that created and integrated this massive project without anyone knowing? Did they come down the chimney one Christmas eve and slip the system into Houston controls? That’s about how silly the notion is.
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.

No because there is to much scientific research on the rocks brought back to prove they came from the moon and not earth. Plus we didn't have the ability for special effects like we do now. Also the actions of the astronauts and the other objects are consistent with the lighter gravity on the moon. If we had faked it, the Russians would have found out and continued their efforts to reach the moon. But they stopped because we got there first.

Haha, reminds me of that Redbull commercial playing now in the states.
"Come on back boys, we will film the whole thing in a studio"
lol

i really think so cuz in one picture the shadows go crazy and the little center cross point for the picture goes behind stuff

I was there too...

It could be, any thing to beat the Russians, cheating, lies, any thing goes in love and war (Cold war)
