Look for the "Honeysuckle Creek" site on the net for some details of the video sent from the Moon during the Apollo 11 missions. This station was mostly staffed by Australians who have no allegiance to the USA. Many of them are still alive. I know one.
By the way, do not trust anything you see on television about the Moon landings, if it tends to mean that things were faked. It is itself almost certainly a fake. TV stations have to fill their time with something and basically they don't care if it is crap. In fact they prefer conspiracy crap as it gets people talking.
You should also ignore TV shows about the Bermuda triangle some people who have promoted this are proven liars.

This is one of those grey areas of history where there will always be people saying it was staged, and others saying it was real.
Whatever the truth is, America will be known in history to have the first man on the moon. Because, even if it was fake, no one will ever know since the government does such a good job of keeping things a secret that there will never be enough satisfactory evidence to convince the majority of the world to think otherwise.
This question belongs with all the other conspiracy theories like Area 51 Rosswell UFO, 911 was staged, Kennedy's Assassination, man on the moon was fake, the tax act being a scam on American citizens, and of course the car that can get 100mpg back in the seventies, but big oil companies had killed the man that made it to keep the world dependant on oil.
In all those cases above and yours, you will always find someone that will pull some half evidence proclaiming the truth, when in reality that evidence just wasn't good enough to be conclusive. This is afterall, all because the government has the power to cover enough evidence up, that any evidence that does get leaked out would never be strong enough to prove anything. Also there is such a hoax culture out there now based on this stuff that even real hard evidence would just be pushed aside as forgeries of Hollywood.

The video footage is genuine. It shows behaviour of objects that simply cannot be explained any other way than being in a vacuum in low gravity. It is also corroborated by the 16mm film footage captured by an automatic film camera mounted in the LM window.
Of course, most people who claim the footage was fake don't know that there were multiple ways of capturing the footage, and that in some cases both film and video of the same event exists. Hell, most of them haven't even seen more than a tiny fraction of the availble footage.

sigh if you had looked up this question you would have found it has already been answered a few hundred times. yes we were on the bloody moon.
the people who say it was faked are nitwits. all of their "evidence" fails when it is actually compared to real scientific data.
the footage was real, it was taken from the surface of the moon

All real, baby, all real.
There have been several Hollywood movies about phony space trips, but they are Hollywood productions.
The video of Armstrong on the moon was and is real.

No, if it was faked, they woulda done a 're-take' when Neil muffed his famous 'One small step...' line.
Poor guy. Known forever for screwing up one simple announcement.
Sometimes I wish it was all fake, I can hear it now...
"CUT! Neil, baby! Let's go over this ONE MORE TIME! You are killing us, here. The line is 'One small step for A man'. Roll camera! Cue the moondust boy! Lights! Action, Neil!"

There was a goofball who wrote a book to that effect, but it was incredibly stupid. He also wrote about six others about NASA programs, all mutually exclusive. This is the Internet, so urban legends live forever.

no way every thing is real cause if it was fake they would have been sure that some thing was gonna go wrong and if some thing did go wrong they would stopped for about years than they wouldve started all over again
