They did land, 6 times. And sorry, but you can't see anything left on the moon, with any telescope, not even with Hubble. The hoax theory was started by the flat earth society, believe it or not. These are people who actually, seriously,believe the world is flat and deny the existence of anything that proves them wrong, like the Apollo missions and the pictures from space. Then some money-grubbing sleaze ball took advantage of it and started the whole conspiracy thing, making a documentary which some network was iresponsible enough to show. Something like that is bound to attract attention, so there will always be networks that will air that stuff. The only thing, and I say ONLY thing some of them are interested in is ratings. This is what makes them money.
Now millions of people believe it was faked. Problem is, if you go to any one of several web sites, you will see how virtually every piece of "evidence" this quack presents is thoroighly debunked. Anyone looking at the *whole* picture will see that not only were these hoax theorists wrong, but on some points, the proof shows that they deliberately lied about a number of things, in order to beef up the conspiracy. Like, for example, they cropped photos in order to make it look like it was faked by NASA.
Just goes to show: you can't believe everything you see on television, or read in a supermarket checkout line. The Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and Fox are among the very worst. What makes them such a threat to the truth, is that they do many shows which are completely legit. But they also air total hogwash without any concern for truth or accuracy. There is no law against it.

It is one of the sites I was talking about. Everything is explained, and in a way that *reveals* the truth, rather than just asserting it. The absence of stars, the "waving" flag, the un-parallel shadows, the lighting in shadows...all of it is explained in ways that make complete sense. There are even photo proofs that, of course, were not shown in the documentary. And yet, people who believe and profess this garbage, (like they have some kind of "inside" information, will not bother to go look.)
Remember, if you want to make a documentary of any quack idea you might have, you will always be able to find quacks who will appear on it for you. And they will have credentials, some real, and some bogus. And there will always be some former employee/whistle-blower, who they don't tell you was fired for incompetence 20 years ago or has been in and out of psychiatric wards.
Edit: In addition, several observatories have been bouncing laser beams off of a mirror that was left there by Armstrong and Aldrin. It makes distance measurements more accurate.

It is a historical fact. People just doubt it because after 6 landings they canceled the program and nobody has gone to the Moon in all the years since then.

Yes, we really landed human beings on the Moon. Six times in fact. This is a matter of historical record, backed by thousands of photographs, hours of video, 800 kg of Moon rocks, and millions of witnesses.

Yes we did land on the moon. You probably weren't alive then. They planted flags and brought back rocks etc. I'm sure some ultra powerfull telescopes can spot the landing sites and leftover lunar rovers on the moon etc in order to prove it.
