Yes.
The moon landing on July 20, 1969 was the culmination of a fast-track space program, which, if it were faked, would not have included the deaths of three astronauts in a launch-pad fire, nor would it have included the speed-of-light delay in the radio transmissions from the moon, nor would it have included the photographs (remember, this is all 30+ years before Photoshop), nor would it have included the Apollo 13 near-disaster (if you're going to fake a program, why fake failure?). One tipoff to the photos being shot in an airless environment is how the dust reacted to jet blasts and footsteps. Another is the sky being black even as sunlight was falling on the ground.

Yes. All of the "fake moon landing" conspiracy theories going around have more holes in them than a block of Swiss cheese. They also ignore the fact that when you consider how many people you'd have to involve (AND get them to keep quiet), how much equipment, how complicated it would be, etc., in order to fake a landing, it ends up being simpler to just go to the moon for real.

When we returned with photo's of a round earth, to save face, they claimed it was all faked and done in a studio. If you choose not to believe the landing, they society will gladly have you join.

Yes I did work for NASA and did set the tracking console. Do you rely think that we could fake it If we did the secrete would get out some how unless they killed all the participant.

Yes. Disputing history is a lame excuse for not learning it.

Of course, but what does it matter what I say. If you are a conspiracy theorist then I can't convince you.

Yeah, but not in 1969.

No one has EVER provided any evidence that they didn't.
So what makes you think that anyone can provide any evidence here?

its a matter of your own opinion. i don't think so because the whole flag waving back and fourth on the moon with out wind and gravity is a little strange but who knows it could been recorded in a studio to beat Russia there.
