Yes. I trust your physics teacher was asking the question to be provocative and spur discussion.
All the evidence shows that we went. The theories that it was faked are rather out there; they generally boil down to "it would have been too hard/complicated to go, so they faked it", but to do what they claim was done would have been harder and more complicated.
The theories are based on "evidence" that we couldn't have gone, but those are based on bad understanding of science or logic. There is a good website, www.clavius.org, that addresses pretty much every straw conspiracy theorists grasp on to.

Yes of course man landed on the moon.
One of the reasons it is difficult to disprove, no matter what the conspiricests say, is because the mission was tracked world wide. Whilst mission control was obviously in the US, there were many important relays that had to be tracked from other countries due to the moons rise and set times. For eg there are times where it was only possible to track the activity from the southern hemisphere. That being the case, the likelyhood that the 1000's of people involved all around the world were involved in a cover up is not very high.
Oh and also, if your physics teacher beleives otherwise, they should not be teaching physics in a school and should take up philosophy instead.

I don't think, I KNOW that 12 men walked on the Moon. I was a teenager at the time and remember it well. There is no way that all that was faked. And as one of the astronauts who did walk on the moon said when asked if it was faked, "Why would they have bothered to fake it 9 times?". Because 9 different missions went to the Moon, and 6 of them landed there. Apollo 11 was just one of them.

Yes Indeed they did
Because people watched it live and also many people witnessed the launching of the rockets so how can it all be made up!
If they didn't why would people welcome them with t
Man definetly has the potential to land on moon as our technology has grown so much!
So friend humans have landed on Moon
and if they did not where did the rocks come from
which scientists sampled and tested and how would we know all the information about moon if we did not land there.

Yes, mankind has sent a total of 12 representatives to set foot on the surface of the moon. Those same 12 men brought back some 843 pounds of rock and regolith (dust) samples to be tested.
I was lucky enough to be very close to someone that worked at the University of Chicago, (in the physics department), and when I was a younger man, got to hold a piece of the moon in my hand (a small, dark rock encased in Lucite).

Although individuals lack the ability to track the space craft all the way to the moon, other governments do have that ability. If it had been a fake, someone would have blown the whistle a long time ago.
Remember we were in the middle of a cold war with both the Russians and Chinese at the time as will as a hot war in Vietnam.

I think that I hope your physics teacher wasn't asking that question because he or she believes there is any genuine doubt. Apollo was very real, and is supported by an absolute mountain of evidence. The claims that it was all faked are based on total misunderstanding of basic science, an inability to reason critically and in some cases blatant distortion of the truth.

If I was your physics teacher, I wouldn't have asked that question. Not because there isn't any doubt, there is a TON of doubt. (well, there isn't any REASONABLE doubt, that's different). It's because I wouldn't want to KNOW how many of my students thought the Apollo program was a hoax. If I was your biology teacher, I wouldn't ask how many of you believe in evolution for the same reason.
La, la, la, la, la, don't tell me, I don't want to know.

I believe he did. Because I worked at one of the contractors for the Apollo project, and I was familiar with the equipment they used. Though "proof" is subjective, I'm personally confident it happened.
