Typed up an answer & couldn't post, because of a closed topic. Ditto to those who doubt the moon trip.
There have being numerous occasions I can remember when the States claimed they did something (bragging to Russia) & it wasn’t true. Especially technology, geared towards the demonstration of power i.e. weaponry, medicine, breakthrough technology etc. Russians have made something better instead and americans are STILL scratching their heads, unable to create an analogy (or even close) *50+ years later*. I mean, not stroking any countries ego & purely relying on facts and figures here, lets face it: USSR/Russia is supplying the world with *the best* thinkers there are (more than many of the other countries *put together!*). – Look at their history & look at all the greatest scientists/innovators in our history - *a lot* of these people are either russian or have russian roots, many working in other countries… heck, even look at an average russian & how irrational their thinking is.

My point is that it makes a lot more sense to say that the only place our moon-men being to is a Hollwood studio than to believe we really did go there. Did we? Wohoo. Please name me the people that were in that ship & why they are disguised. Is it because if they really existed, then they would have being in a great danger of being interrogated & the truth that they never went anywhere would have being uncovered?
Back then, we might not have had the technology to prove that there are no traces of human beings, but now we have more than enough & there is still no real proof we went there, hence all those claims are not facts, until proven otherwise. (As you know, there is no way of proving where those shots/videos were taken and, furthermore, a lot more questions are asked as a result of people starting to notice plenty of details that don’t make sense & have no real answers.)

I think I can also answer why there are no satellite pictures published – every time someone tries to publish pictures of the moon, taken by various satellites, they suddenly go quiet & don’t say a word why they stopped publishing – remember the European SMART-1, when it was a big project to provide pictures of the moon on their website that suddenly went dead-quiet? This happens because no evidence is found and the government still does everything they can to protect their fake claim. If evidence existed, we would certainly have being amongst the first to throw those in the face of Kremlin.

You are a complete jack@$$. This rant of yours has no merit whatsoever.
Even worse, when confronted with the truth of the matter, your pea-brain shuts down and refuses to admit that you've been duped by a bunch of other pea-brained idiots who wouldn't know the moon from their ****.
If the Russians are so all-fired perfect, how come they CONGRATULATED the U.S. on having been the first to land on the moon after Apollo 11???? I mean, after all, it was a hoax, right?
What a nitwit. STFU.

That is probably the most ill-posed, misinformed question I have ever read.
Yes it is true that the Russians have many great thinkers, but so does EVERY other country in the world.
The fact of the matter is that without the GERMANS at the end of WWII neither the US nor the Russian space programs would be anywhere near where they are today.
Wernher von Braun's V-2 rocket was the basis for the Saturn V. He was captured by the US along with much of his team after WWII. The Russians had the same idea and captured many other German rocket scientists and engineers and took them back to Russia.
The SMART satellite wasn't there to take pictures of the lunar landers. It was there to take infrared imagery of the poles looking for water ice. It was also equipped with ground penetrating imagers. The SMART satellite wasn't equipped with an optical camera powerful enough to resolve the Moon landing sites, it orbited too high, and it was in a POLAR orbit, meaning even if it accidentally took shots of the Sea of Tranquility or any other landing site it could not possibly take pictures of it. SMART was also to be used to test electric propulsion (ion engines), as a main propulsion system in space exploration.
And if you don't believe me about SMART-1, here's a few excerpts from ESA's SMART-1 factsheet... or do you think this is fake too?:
______________________________
"SMART stands for Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. "
"SMART-1 is the first of ESA’s Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. It travelled to the Moon using solar-electric propulsion and carrying a battery of miniaturised instruments.
As well as testing new technology, SMART-1 did the first comprehensive inventory of key chemical elements in the lunar surface. It also investigated the theory that the Moon was formed following the violent collision of a smaller planet with Earth, four and a half thousand million years ago."
"SMART-1 looked for water (in the form of ice) on the Moon."
__________________________________
The fact that you don't have a clue what you are talking about makes me laugh. And the fact that I, myself, am a rocket engineer makes me not really care about anything you just said except to be infuriated that people like you actually live out there.
Folks, if anyone has a question as to why Darwin was right... read above. I hope that the asker never procreates, I don't think the world could take another hit to the average IQ like that. That goes for iron_serpent91 too. Holy crap! By the way iron_serpent Bill Kaysing is a hack and being a librarian/writer gives you NOWHERE near the expertise to debunk the Apollo missions. The Moon myths have been debunked time and time again. It's just gullible fools who still believe this fairy tale.

Is this a question or just a rant?
Anyway, only crazy people disbelieve the Apollo landings. It would be easier to fake the super bowl than the Apollo landings.
Now there are reasonable people who doubt, because they do not have all the facts, but those people change their minds when shown the facts. Only crazy people are positive beyond any doubt that the they were fake. Only crazy people look at the facts and claim all those facts are fake too. They are the same kind of people who think there are aliens living in area 51 and things like that .
Oh, added info in your question.
The people who walked on the Moon are well known. Especially Buzz Aldrin, the other man with Neil Armstrong in the LM of Apollo 11, is a very public figure. Have you even bothered to look at some of the information out there about the missions? See the source.

The Human Race for the first time stepped off our planet and went to our moon. The technology of humans, as crude as it was back then, still got us there and back. A lot of people helped from everywhere, some people died and that was a tough day for us all. Today more people from more countries are involved and look where we are now, going back and going to Mars. I have a feeling that when we get back some will take a great lot of glee in saying, "See those tire tracks and boot prints over there, it's a park now, for those that did it and those who always believed, and never doubted."

To address your first point that the USSR/Russia has supplied the world with its best thinkers is pure fantasy. A simple glance at the list of Nobel Prize winners or a tour through the scientific section of any university library will show that Russians are no better or worse represented than any other scientifically advanced nationality. In aviation, for example, for every Igor Sikorsky (Russian) there is an Willi Messerschmit (German) or Jack Northrop (U.S.). In physics, for every Andrei Sakharov (Russian), there is an Albert Einstein (German) or Niels Bohr (Denmark). I could go on. Russian have a reputation for being innovative, but their innovations tend to be at the expense of reliability where the U.S. tends to refine such technology until something can be proven safe - Russians tend to value the lives of their testers less. Spectacular failures of Russian aircraft, submarines, spacecraft and nuclear reactors have shown that. So although I have little chance of dispelling any of your ingrained prejudices, I'd give that a little thought before spouting off about the so-called superiority of Russian scientific advances.

This question really annoys me every time i see it. Of course they did.As i pointed out the last time it was asked,lots of dishes were used to track the craft lots of them were unofficial. If they were not there how could they be tracked. Why spend all that money building equipment not to use it. Remember it all had to work otherwise people would have known it was a fake and would have opened their mouth. What about the moon rock , geologists would have known that it didn`t come from the moon. I could go on for ages. By the way the flag was stiffened with wire, most disbelievers bring this one up. I am surprised that you didn`t. I am sorry if i sound angry but this one really gets me going.

Why is it that some uneducated idiot trying to sell a book or video only has to spout a load of utter crap about blowing flags and blast craters and no dust on the footpads and people's critical faculties go out the window? 'Oh yes, obviously I've been lied to'. Is that much easier to believe? How very sad.
Anyone who actually bothers to do real research into Apollo (by which I mean actually learning the science, not what popular misconceptions there are about the science) can build a very clear, very coherent image of what was required and what was done to get people to the Moon. They also see the total ridiculousness of the hoax claims. Non-parallel shadows can be seen in normal everyday life if you just bother LOOKING for them. The stars don't show up in ANY picture taken of any sunlit object in space, regardless of whether NASA had any involvement in obtaining those pictures of not. You can't hide a spacecraft in Earth orbit because it can be seen with the UNAIDED eye from the ground by anyone who looks up. I keep seeing people say that a lunar landing simulator now needs more memory than the LM computer actually had, as if that's an argument. Well an arcade racing game needs more computer memory than the average car, but oddly enough cars work fine with no computers whatsoever. Why would they fake the landing if it was possible to actually do it? If it was not possible, why would they fake the landing when they know damn well someone's going to find out that it can't actually be done?
In the 1960s NASA went all out to develop a program that would put men on the Moon. They succeeded. No other scenario makes the slightest bit of sense in the face of the evidence.
NASA makes its video and photographic record available to the public in its entirety. One man claims to have smoking gun footage that blows open the biggest lie in history but won't let anyone see it unless they give him money for a crappy video, and more to the point he lies about the availability of the footage he claims is exclusively available from him. I know who I'll put my trust in thanks.

you have reliable argument. traditionally the planting of a flag did characterize some king of criminal possession. besides the undeniable fact that for this reason there have been worldwide treaties and conventions which dictate the universality of the moon. additionally i think of you're style of lacking the element to the full business enterprise. definite, the moon landings have been designed to illustrate u.s.'s superiority over the U.S., yet i could remind you of a few of those nicely-prevalent words. "one small step for guy, one commonplace bounce for MANKIND." To be honest they could have been extra politically superb. HUMANKIND could be extra suitable in the time of on the instant time n' age.

Two quick points:
(1) 'being' is NOT the same as 'been'!
(There is some philosophical discussion that this might inspire...but really, in this instance, I am referring to the use of the words!)
(2) Whether of not US have been to the moon, or whether USSR technology was better in its day...is hardly as important as the fact that at least one American is a millionaire on the back of 'selling' pieces of the moon (mostly to other stupid Americans)...Have the Russians ever been that entrepreneurially creative?

Ok. I'm calm.
I normally stay out of these POINTLESS rants because they are so well, pointless.
But...you did state there was no proof of human equipment on the moon.
Fine. How come we are STILL using the laser reflectors they put there in 1969 to gauge the distance of the moon from Earth. You ill-informed muppet.
