This is always my favorite question to answer... here we go again... I looked up the main Conspiracies and their explanations, so here it solid proof of mans greatest Voyage.
1. Flag was waving- When Neil attempted to put the flag in the ground, he couldn't quite get it in, so he had to shake and push it around, and even in a vacum when you are shaking something it is gonna move... Duh...
2. Without water the footprints wouldn't have been able to maintain their shape- Well, with the gravity being so low, and the regolith so fine and course, the footprint was able to maintain its shape, again i say.. Duh...
3. The lunar rover was too large to fit in a space craft hardly large enough to house two men.- Well, see people at NASA and the companys who designed the rover, were kinda smart. They constructed it from extremly lightweight materials and made it to where it could be folded to the size of a large luggage bag.
4. The film, in that kind of enviorment would have fried, or froze.- Well the film was not openly exposed to the harsh surroundings, it was in protective covering and in the camera. And if you knew anything at all, all the landings were either at Lunar sunrise or sunset, making the tempratures easier to handle... again with the Duh...
5.There are no stars in the picture.- The moon is bright, it reflects almost all the light that is shown on it. So if you were to put a camera on the very reflective surface, and take a picture of the surface, would the bright light of the moon, no block out the fainter light of the stars! Even on Earth, when u are near a big street light, and have ur friend standing a long way from u with a small flashlight, wouldn't that be hard to see... So Duh...
6. The shadows are all uneven.- Well the place the they landed, in all of the landings, was very rough terrain. So weither they were in a Mare, or a mountain range, the landscape was very uneven. So when they are casting their shadow, if it was to fall on a hill would it not look different, than say the same guy was casting a shadow on a flat peice of ground... Duh...
7.They had to travel through the Van Allen Belt of radiation.-Yeah but they did so in a matter of 3 2 or 3 days. In order for the astronauts to absorb deadly amounts of radiation, they would have to remain in the Van Allen belt for a matter of weeks or months... El Duh-o
8. No crater from the landing of the LM.- Yeah, well, Yes there was. There was only about 1 1/2 of regolith on the lunar surface, so in all reality there wasn't much to kick up, or to leave a noticable indent in the surface, But if u listen to the landing transmisions, an astonaut says, "Ok, now. We're kicking up some dust"
I think I made my point, and incase it wasn't clear... Yeah, I do think we went to the moon and back... Duh

Yep.
Any view to the contrary is just as much a conspiracy theory as UFOs being kept at a secret desert base, the CIA or Bush setting up 9/11, The Man on the Grassy Knoll and all the other half-baked products of tiny minds with nothing better to do.

If it wasn't real then we must not be capable of space flight, so where do those shuttles go when people watch them take off? As crappy as our technology is when it comes to space travel, it has to be real. Nobody would fabricate THAT. If it was made up, they could have at least made it look better, or made the space shuttles look like they were actually capable of space travel, and of protecting astronauts from debris and cosmic radiation. Why fake it if you're gonna make it look like you can barely do it?

Yes, I do.
However, once surfing through the net, I came across information which just made me "wonder"....
Here's a link to why people said it's a hoax, and replies to them...

Indeed I do -- and if you ask me to swear on a bible to that fact, well, I might just have to pull a Buzz Aldrin and punch you in the face!
