Why no clouds of dust, well there's no atmosphere to support dust so it falls to ground like a brick or feather would there, which was demonstrated on one of the landings if I remember correctly.

I think a little bit of scepticism is actually good for this topic, I don't see it as an attack on whether it happened or not, the people who originally thought of these questions about conditions up there were genuinely just curious people.

I don't believe it was a cover up, simply because it would be far harder to keep everyone quiet about it and the complexity of the operation would be far more an enormity than the actual reality of going there itself.

Think about all the "projects" for components they'd need for the equipment to go up there, fake that as well? it's just getting silly at that point.

Yep, absolutely happened, if they chose a planet much further away then the scope for criticism would be much much greater, but as we can visibly see most of the moon, is it really that hard to believe we went there?

You've seen the kind of gaffes the government gets itself into, and could you really believe they'd be competent enough to pull off a hoax as big as that? The Russians would have a field day if they got wind of it.

And Michelle Obama is really a man. And climate change is a one-world-government conspiracy.

All your teeth gone blunt, hacksaw? Or has the blade snapped?

The interweb conspiracy mongerers. They are everywhere. Most are complete idiots, but some are clever idiots.

Do you really believe all that you read? Don't you think the ruskies were not watching every move? Get real, if you expect your other posts are not to be treated as fantasy!

Whilst you cannot 'see' the landing sites with opical telescopes from earth the laser distance measuring kit can see the reflectors they left behind and have been happily logging the distance between the earth and the moon ever since. See Lunar Laser Ranging experiment. There was some muttering about pulling the funding a few years back, after all it had been running for a long time.

If the Americans faked it I have no doubt that the Russian would have exposed the facrt via their NASA workers

PLEAAASEEEEE……. not on this site too. There's enough fake news and silly conspiracy theories on the rest of the web.

The Americans had the best PR machine, as usual. The Russians were actually further advanced in the space race with landable, reuseable space craft vs the early US craft consisting of a spam can mounted on top of a souped up ICBM, NASA had to blow the bolts off the hatch of the spam can with inbuilt explosives after they fished it out of the ocean in order to retrieve the astronauts, fer cryin' out loud. But it made great TV.

I don’t think a serious scientist or engineer would ever claim that it was fake. Why would it be faked? it wouldn’t really give the Americans any advantage to do so and the risks of being discovered so high.
