I think it is possible NASA creating the moon landing on a Hollywood set. Check out this website and let me know your thoughts.

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.
I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.
12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.
The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?
Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.
Case closed.

No, I don't think it was a hoax. The way NASA describes how a rocket/space shuttle lands on Earth and returns seems pretty logical to me. Plus, you must remember that real space shuttles are being launched, and some of the technology that we have today depends on the advancement in space research (such as the GPS). If humans were able to keep satellites in orbit, then isn't it possible that they could get someone to land on the moon?
However, I do believe that NASA shouldn't try to keep information away from the public. Such actions is not appreciated by the general population.

To be honest anyone whom thinks it was a hoax sure is not doing their homework during their schooling,, Lets get real here,
Besides as you type these questions in there are so many that it shows that are already answered so why bother even going forward with such a question when the answer is already presented to you as you ask this repeated a hundred times question. they were very real and more than once, apollo,11,12,14,15,16,and 17

no, they definitely landed on the moon. the production cost of making a several hoaxes that are that extravagant would be more than the missions cost. and i have never seen any hoax accusation that i haven't been able to disprove.
if u would like to challenge that last part email me at cbirch92@yahoo.com

Right....like thousands of people in the US Government could keep a secret of that size for this long. It would be a lot easier to actually land on the moon.

You immediately show your ignorance of history by referring to "moon landing"; there were, in fact, SIX Moon landings. These were among the most meticulously documented events in human history. Thousands of pictures, hours of video, 800 kg. of Moon rocks, and millions of witnesses. No one who lived through the period and has studied the evidence, such as myself, doubts that the Moon landings occurred.

no, the moon landing didn't occur because astronauts took back space rocks and left laser reflectors on the moon that were used to calculate the distance between the moon and the earth

no chance that we did not go to the moon, we went there many times but there is a chance that YOU are a hoax and you do not exist whatsoever, let me know your thoughts on that one,
