I never Said i thought it was fake. I know we did. I just wanted to see what other people would say.

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.
I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.
12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.
The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?
Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.
Case closed.

We really did land on the Moon. 6 times. And 3 other mission orbited the Moon without landing. The first source is a NASA history site that has full details, including VIDEO showing the flags NOT waving.
The other sources are sites showing various reasons why the hoax theories are all wrong.

Of course we didn't land on the moon. I'm pretty sure I would have remembered something like that.
However, twelve fully-qualified astronauts have landed on the moon: Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr, Charles Conrad Jr., Alan L. Bean, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., Edgar D. Mitchell, David R. Scott, James B. Irwin, James W. Young, Charles M. Duke, Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt.

Yes, 6 missions landed on the moon, and no it was not fake.
Search the massive archives of Y/A to see how many times this question was asked before, and how little sense the arguments of the "fake" theory have.

It was a fake. Its all a big plot by the evil LIBERALS. So was World War II. And World War I and the Civil War.None of those really happened. The Revolution was real but it didn't start or end when they tell you it did. Every inch of war footage you see on TV was filmed in Hollywood. Everything you think you know is false. Its all a government plot.

It was fake. In 1969 we didn't have the technology to send humans to the moon.

What is the fascination with this question? It is about as interesting as the one if there will be a sunset tomorrow or if an apple tastes different than a t-bone steak.
