Like many of the fanciful conspiracy theories for various events in America, it would have actually been more expensive and in some ways harder to fake a moon landing than to actually try it. While it was the greatest of miracles that APOLLO 11 survived, the sheer complexity and difficulty of trying to get enough people to create a fake moon landing is beyond imagining. There would have been no way to keep it from coming out; someone would have doneit, either for money or conscience.
Truth is, though, that the Apollo 11 mission almost failed a hundred times. For example, they were almost out of fuel in their thrusters and if they hadn't found the landing site and set down when they did, they were about to crash. The main switch they used to lift off the moon broke, and they actually had to use an ink pen jammed in there to improvise a switch. They basically piloted a large aluminum can to the moon using tools that you could find today at any Dollar Store.
On the subject of fake landings, though, there is a movie called CAPRICORN ONE from the 1970's, where a Mars mission is scrapped and the astronauts forced to fake it. it starred James Brolin, Sam Waterston, Hal Holbrook, Elliot Gould, Karen Black, and O.J. Simpson. Most people thought it was a poor movie, but I have always enjoyed it.

America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.
OTHER CONSPIRACIES TO THINK ABOUT:
1. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.
2. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.
3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.... The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, with duplicity from Castro and Kruschev....true story.
4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.
5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets, stars as well as the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.
6. The fossils of homo eructus, neandertals and 15 other hominids that are extinct were put there by paleotologists, archeologists, and assorted rock hounds to enhance their careers. Creationism is the only reality.
7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.
8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Think about it with all of the conspiracies that were supposed to be secret that came out being exposed. If this was a hoax there would have been something legitimate that came out about it.
In short yes we did go to the moon.
