The definitive web source for real information about the Apollo lunar missions is the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal at
Everything you ever wanted to know, and lots more besides.
Since they were not in fact staged, there is no source to support such an argument.

There is plenty of evidence that those who say the Apollo landing did not happen are at best wrong and at worst deliberately lying to sell cheap and nasty TV shows and books.
The "evidence" brought forward by these fools and cheats has been thoroughly refuted.
If the Moon landings in 1969 and later had been faked thousands of scientists and radio experts around the world would have known straight away. Specially the Russians, but also Germans, French, Spanish, Australians, British, you name it.
In addition the Russians and possibly several other countries were perfectly capable of tracking the spacecraft part of the way to the Moon by radar. If the Apollo spacecraft had merely orbited the Earth they could have been detected by radar or even the naked eye depending on the height of the orbit.
In 1957, almost 50 years ago today, I watched as the material sent into orbit by the then Soviet Union with Sputnik 1 passed over Australia at about 8pm. You could see it at night.
Not everyone who worked on Apollo was a US citizen, I know one Australian who was in on it and there were many more. Most of the staff of the ground stations in Australia were Australians, there were also ground stations in Spain. These hundreds of people owe no allegiance to the USA and it is not humanly possible that they would have kept a fraud quiet for 38 years.
Almost anyone who was good with tools and had a bit of money could build a suitable antenna and tune a suitable radio into the transmissions from the Moon. There is nothing secret about the construction of such antennas, I have a book on it right here.
The astronauts brought back hundreds of pounds of Moon rocks which were analysed by scientists all over the world. Not all of them were US citizens either. If those rocks had been faked those scientists would have seen it. In any case, the Russians also returned Moon rocks to Earth in three unmanned probes and published the analysis results. The American samples were consistent with the Russian ones.
In addition, the ages that were determined for these rocks were (and still are) older than all rocks found on Earth except for meteorites.
President Nixon. a Republican, began to cut NASA funding in 1968, the year before the first mission. The mission went ahead because the equipment had been built and the people had been employed and trained. The Apollo program was a Democrat project. Later the program came to an end because the US public lost interest, when that happened, funding dried up still further and NASA could not afford to send any more. No bucks, no Buck Rogers.
This site is devoted to the mostly Australian men and women at the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station in Australia which received some of the Apollo transmissions. You can hear one man talking directly to the astronauts on the Moon.

There is no good evidence that the Apollo missions were frauds. There is good evidence that the conspiracy is with those who say they were frauds.

You'll find lots of websites about the Apollo landings being staged. However, they are pure unadulterated rubbish. Apollo 11 was a very real mission. Check out the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal and NASA's website.

Try these sources.
As to why some people suspect a hoax, it is because we have not sent any more missions since 1972. The thinking is that technology is better today so we should be able to go the the Moon more easily and cheaply now than back then, and since it seems impossible to do now it must have been even more impossible then.
This is the same kind of thinking that makes some people claim that aliens and not the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. Of course the flaw in that thinking is that, although it IS possible to build a giant stone pyramid more easily now, but it is still not SO easy or especially cheap, and anyway who would want to?
However there are more people today interested in going to the Moon than in building pyramids, so you will see a return to the moon in a few decades I think.

Why would you be writing a paper on something that's patently untrue?
The Apollo missions were real, not staged. The evidence for their being real is overwhelming:
http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html
http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/apollohoax.html
The latter page lists some web sites supporting the hoax, but be sure to read the much more numerous (and believable) sites debunking it.

utilizing anythingwithout permission might want to be chancy. Are you speaking about utilizing Wiki as a pronounced source interior the e book/ or only utilizing info got here upon there? because the boook is fable, then utilizing stuff got here upon there is nice..yet when utilizing the call? Permission might want to be granted. it is something that would want to correctly be dealt with once you get a writer.
