what is my opinion?
my opinion is that ppl question evolution. I saw a sign the other day outside a church that said "Stop on in and hear why evolution is false" Yikes! I was expecting "Twilight Zone" music and people dressed like extras from 'Children of the Corn', but no, it was just rural Michigan.
I figure if ppl can question evolution, with well over a hundred years of evidence stacked up in favor of it, then sure thing, its not surprising that someone questions whether Apollo landed on the moon or did Disney film it.
What I really want to know is: Why do you want to believe it is all fake? How much is fake? Are geosynchronous satellites fake, too? The ISS?

You saw a movie. I saw a movie, twice as it happens. It was called "Them" and in it gigantic ants attacked Los Angeles. Scared me witless when I was 8 years old but I saw it again a year ago and laughed. But did gigantic ants ever attack Los Angeles? I think not.
The movie you saw was entertainment of the cheaper and sillier sort. Or it was a set of deliberate lies filled with faked evidence.
The USA landed twelve men on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. If they had not done so space engineers, scientists and ordinary radio experts from around the world would have known immediately that it was faked. In particular the Russians would have known and they would have shouted "Fake" straight away. Yes it is true, there are space scientists, engineers and radio experts in all sorts of countries.

They went.
The notion they did not is one of the more idiotic internet derived conspiracy theories, and it is gobsmacking that people are stupid enough to believe it given the mass of contrary evidence.
But you cannot see items left on the moon from Earth I am afraid. To do so you would need a telescope with a lens at least 50 metres across to have adequate resolving power, and no such scopes exist.

There already are heaps and heaps of information available elsewhere as regards your query and the space provided herein may not be enough to contain them. To get you started with your "journey", you may want to visit the following links:

Among the pioneers in exposing "anomalies" in the NASA lunar missions of the 60's and early 70's is William Cooper, who was quite remarkable in his revelations he sounded as if he defected from Freemasonry. To know more about him and his thought-provoking critique of the Apollo Moon landings, please visit the following links:

And if you are an avid Physics buff, you may want to validate (or refute) my calculation of g (acceleration due to gravitational force of a planet) based on the timings and speed of take-off and descent of the dust being kicked off in the Apollo 16 Lunar Rover video clip allegedly filmed in the "lunar environment." My calculation yielded 9.8 m/sec^2, which is the value of g for planet Earth. How about that for a revelation!
For an official version of the video clip, you may download the mpeg file from this link:

To get some helpful clues as to the extraction of g from a video clip, it's quite a happy coincidence to recommend this entry from the Y! Answers compendium:

Well, here's wishing you all the best in this thrilling (and hopefully, also entertaining) journey of discovery.
Cheers!

my opinion?.... I think that anyone who thinks USA didn't really go to the moon is dumber than a box of rocks....I'm an older person who held her breath watching for the moment that astronaut's foot touched the surface of the moon... I was there to see and know about the 'space race'....I know the Soviets would have screamed bloody murder if there was the slightest hint of anything being faked on those missions..... it happened, folks.... and you doofs who weren't there are just going to have to take OUR word for it!!!.....

Damn!! Wsan't there just a question about the veracity and relative intelligence of people who asked this question posted on here just this morning??
To answer the question: Yes, we went to the Moon. And what you think or believe has absolutely -no- effect on reality.

That's your opinion (with no science or engineering to back it up).
My opinion is you are too stupid to be worth listening to.
Get an education and GET A LIFE.
