Sigh.
Raul, at least you came here and asked. The landings were real. Some conspiracy nuts saw a money-making opportunity, and of course, the Discovery Channel, (or was it the History Channel?) and Fox, of course, couldn't wait to air it.
Go to http://www.clavius.org/
Spend awhile there. You will see that it really happened and these moon hoax conspiracy nuts who produce documentaries like that are not just wrong, but in some cases THEY are caught cheating and lying in order to make this great achievement look more like a hoax.
It really bothers me that a few greedy, dishonest, paranoid people can cause so many to doubt such a remarkable project. The thousands of brilliant and dedicated people who made it come true deserve better. The families of the three astronauts who died for it, deserve better.

The fact that not a single person from the NASA organization has come forward in the last 40 years to admit to it being a hoax is kind of tough to overlook. We're talking about a secret that thousands of people would have had to keep, and many of which have already taken to the grave.
Some of the people who are trying to prove the moon landing is indeed a hoax can be quite persuasive. But if you use common sense it is just too big of a secret that too many people would have been aware of.
I would think if it was indeed a hoax, everyone would have found out less than a week after the actual moon landing.

It is not fake, the video is an actual recording of Armstrong setting foot on the moon in July 1969.
Your question sounds like someone told you it was fake - a little research on this historic event is worthwhile. July 20, 1969 was a critical moment in human history, launching us on the path of technology that we have today.

If it was faked, don´t you think Armstrong would have gotten his lines right? He was supposed to say "A small step for A man, a giant leap for mankind". All that money and not a script supervisor in sight?

If you want Buzz Aldrin to punch your lights out, tell him he didn't walk on the Moon.
The videos posted by those who say that the Moon landings were faked are themselves faked. Not only are these people fools, they are liars and frauds too.

False.
The archived footage of Armstrong's descent of the LM ladder is real. The recording of his voice is real.
The moon landings were real.
Period.

Nonsense.
Project Apollo was one of the U.S.A.'s finest achievements, and you insult a lot of people by even asking such a question.

That is not true. I'll give no further explanation since you give no reason for asking.

It's one of those conspiracy theories...I haven't seen any proof yet that it didn't happen. I guess some people just need something to do sometimes...
