There are a lot of unresolved questions about this. It could have been a big hoax (some people who have analyzed pictures from the lunar expeditions say that there are anomalies such as reflections from wires, or those crosses that the camera makes on the film go behind objects in the picture, or the dust not falling at the right speed etc.) that indicate the whole thing was faked. I'm not sure myself.

What anyone thinks is totally irrelevant. It's a scientific fact that we've landed on the Moon. To deny the lunar landings is to showcase one's own ignorance.
No scientist or any intelligent person rejects the lunar landings. Will the average person really notice scientific irregularities with the lunar landings that the world's greatest scientific minds will overlook? Of course not.
The lunar landings were a lot more than just photos and videos. I challenge conspiracy theorists to refute the following:
1) When pointed at the Moon, radio telescopes across the world, including those in the Soviet Union, detected the Apollo transmissions. If there hadn't been a ship there, they wouldn't have detected anything.
2) Apollos 11, 14, and 15 left retroreflectors on the Moon. These are used to precisely measure the distance to the Moon and have been detected thousands of times by professional astronomers.
3) Geologists have analyzed the Moon rocks and have concluded that they formed on the Moon. They explain that there's no way for NASA to fake this.
This basic evidence is just the tip of the iceberg. The conspiracy theory hinges upon bad science, faulty common sense, lies, and smoke and mirrors. For instance, conspiracy theorists argue the landing was faked because someone *had* to be filming Armstrong as he climbed down onto the Moon, when in reality, there was a camera mounted on the exterior of the lunar module.

No, I don't "believe" he landed on the Moon.
I KNOW he did. The people who claim he did not are a bunch of ignoramuses who are entirely scientifically illiterate. And the jack@$$es who post up all those conspiracy theory websites are the scum of the earth.
This question is posted about a thousand times per week here. Why don't any of these folks search the site ahead of time to see what sort of answers have been delivered before? It is the height of insanity to perform the exact same action time and time again, and expect a different result.

The "moon landings were a hoax" conspiracy theory simply demonstrates how stupid and gullible people can be. No matter how much evidence you put before them, some people will discount it in favour of some half-baked idea because someone made a video on youtube.
Quite frankly, it makes me want to give these people a slap upside the head.

You name it, somebody will invent a conspiracy theory about it. Yes, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969.

Twelve adult adult males walked on the Moon. it somewhat is nicely-documented. The feat substitute into achieved during the perplexing artwork of roughly 4 hundred,000 human beings. If it substitute right into a hoax, then it substitute right into a hoax completely coordinated by potential of four hundred,000 human beings, all of whom have been able to maintain a secret. It substitute into additionally heavily watched by potential of the U.S., which substitute into completely confident. and how do you think those reflector dishes get on the lunar floor? they are nonetheless used to this present day to degree the Earth-Moon distance.

He and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were the first two to land on the moon.

Many times it's taught in history that some explorer was the first man to set foot on some new land, and only later we find out that people had been there before. So, Neil Armstrong should be no exception. We're told he is the first man to have set foot on the moon. But very likely--if history is any guide--men have been there before.
Addendum: Man, what's with all these thumbs down?

Well I remember watching the landing on TV and someone definitely did walk on the moon, but because of his space suit couldn`t recognise who it was.
Of course there is now a theory that it actually took place in the desert in Nevada.
