The people who spread the moon landings hoax know nothing of the complexity and duration of the Apollo missions. 400,000 people worked on Apollo over 7 years of the program. It would be pretty hard to keep them all quiet.
But forget that. The hoax thing falls completely flat when you consider that there were 50 controllers on hand in Mission Control in Houston, in 3 shifts, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. That was 150 highly skilled controllers watching monitors, monitoring the pre-moon shots and the actual moon shots.
Yes, it is vagely possible to shoot fake landings in the desert in the 1960's, but to get the "production" into the systems to fool all these controllers for 7 years of the program is just idoiotic in the highest degree.
I have been in IT for 40 years and I started in the 60's. Believe me, to get such a complex system into the already complex systems that ran the communications systems between Mission control and the space vehicles would take months of work to integrate. You would need an army of IT specialists, graphics and communications experts. Who were these people? When and how did they get into the systems without all those controllers noticing?
If they got the system integrated (which in itself is blatantly ridiculous) how did it run without a hitch for years so as to fool all those Mission Controllers 100% of the time?
1960/70s complex systems also required large teams of people to maintain the systems when they went wrong, which they did frequently. If a “Hollywood” was put into the systems day 1, the controllers would twig within the first hour of day 1. The Apollo missions ran for 7 years. Eight manned missions went to the moon: 6 landed, Apollo 8 was a “fly by”, Apollo 13 was an aborted mission, but still orbited the moon.
Only really ignorant, know nothing people, spread the moon landing hoax garbage. You really don’t want to be one of them.

I have not doubt at all that the Apollo missions really landed on the Moon. I was a teenager at the time and I can tell you that it got more coverage than the super bowl. WAY more coverage. It would be easier to fake the super bowl than the Moon landings. Check the source for some small idea about how much public information there is about those missions.

There are some people who have doubts.
However, they do not have any evidence to back up what they claim.
They say that the US government was capable of fooling the world and staging a moon landing on a stage.
They say the US government masterminded this plan to make the Russians think that the US won the space race.
They say that the US was able to keep thousands of people involved in the conspiracy from revealing the story to the world to this date.
This is the same US government that could not cover up Watergate.
This is the same US government that can foul up just about anything it touches.

There are lots of people who have doubts, even though all the "doubts" have been thoroughly explained (there's just no pleasing some people). If you have any doubts (some of those moon hoax people can sound pretty convincing, especially if you're not a physics or astronomy or whatever expert) here's one website you can visit for lots of great hoax-debunking information:

This is EASY!!! I explain it every time I have the opportunity...
On three of the four "walk-on-moon" missions, MIRRORS were left, positioned so that they would reflect back huge laser beams from certain earth observatories (using their huge mirrors) as sources for the beams.
I'm sure they have been used thousands of times, for now we have "corrected" the EXACT DISTANCES BETWEEN THE CONTINENTS, and the EXACT DISTANCE TO THE MOON, to the foot.
I emailed the author of the book (and movie) who said our going to the moon was a HOAX and, regarding the mirrors--his reply: "Well maybe ROBOTS PUT THEM THERE"
I consider his answer to be an asinine one.
NASA can verify the existence of the mirrors.
"Nuff said?"

Yeah, I really believe it. Ask yourself this: "If man never landed on the moon, then how can we shine laser beams on the reflective dishes that were left behind on the moon?" We use these mirrors to measure the Earth-moon distance very accurately to this day.

I was there. I watch apollo 11 take off. I've been in the capsuls. I also worked on the space shuttle. Next are people going to say the shuttle is fake too.
Don't be rediculous.

They probably did, in the hopes of finding a spot where their wives couldn’t nag them about the taking the garbage out, or moving the lawn.

there grew to become into an extremely exciting documentary I watched approximately this very theory, the place they appeared on the info against there truthfully being a moon touchdown and then ran mocks of the circumstances which will have led to them to ensue, even on the moon. It grew to become into organic trash, of direction, yet very exciting. properly, as quickly as I say 'organic trash'... The reasoning and good judgment at the back of the motives have been stable, yet used the concepts that prepare right here on earth. basically the a million/6 gravity stress would ward off a number of them from happening, alongside with the different compositions of terrain... alongside with the actuality that we gained't get the right comparable circumstances on earth as on the moon, so the tests have been unsuitable from the very beginning up. No, i've got not got self belief the U. S. truthfully controlled to try this; I do have self belief they have been to the moon, yet no longer in 1969. This grew to become right into a speedy restoration to the area race. pretend ecosystem grew to become into in trouble-free terms basically the beginning up of it...
