I am personally of the view that we have visited the moon, but fake footage was probably compiled at the time in case something with the launch went wrong and they didn't want to be seen as failures on the broadcast. A lot was riding on the US being seen as the first successful nation to land on the moon without leaving it fully to chance alone.

It is terrible to just think about a couple people out there in space, traveling forever in their suits, all dreams of glory and hopes cut short
That would be terrible, if such a thing had ever happened, but it did not.

It was an intriguing story though, that hoaxed recording of the female cosmonaut was pretty harrowing.

Many have died in the US and USSR, however all the astronauts and cosmonauts that have died were either on the ground, on re-entry or on launch - there aren't any bodies floating around in space.

I think I have seen this on here before - I believe the explanation was that it is from a film - I cannot remember which film though. And you can imagine what happens when I type 'faked moon landing footage' into the ATS search engine - I get a load of results back about dancing cats.

I keep repeating that i DONT KNOW, because i dont have enough facts to make a decision.
Such a cop out...
So who is lying, and what credible proof do you have to make such allegations?
The scientists world wide that gained invaluable information from the samples brought from the moon?
Foreign moon probes that show evidence of the landing sites?
Are you saying it was impossible?
What proof would make you realize man has been to the moon?

I have stated several times that i have NO PROOF and iam making NO ALLEGATIONS about anything!
I will try to make this as easy to understand as possible, maybe read it through a couple of times so you can understand.
My statement:
Due to numerous lies from goverment and agencies, and a policy to keep secrets, i cant trust ANYTHING coming from them. So i wont say it is true, just because it is the official story. That also means i wont say it is a lie, just because someone else says it is a lie. I just dont know.
Are you saying that goverment has never lied, and i need to find proof for you to see? You can take almost any other thread on this site, and find proof of lies.
Iam not trying to proof or convince you about anything. and i really dont care what you think i believe or not. I know the answer myself.
I dont care what scientist or other nations said. What I said was use better proof that saying it is impossible to fake.
That proof could be what scientist or other nations said and did.
So no, iam not saying it was impossible, iam just saying it wasnt impossible to fake either. Cant believe that is so hard to understand...

Moon landings as fake as a box of crackerjacks
Which makes it all the more important that you actually do your own research to prove to yourself one way or the other. The tools you need are all out there, it's not difficult.
Irrelevant. Saying they argued about some things does not mean they lied about everything. The vast majority of people involved in the Apollo landings had nothing to do with the government. I have nothing to do with the government, I've never even been to the US - why would I lie?
And that answer is?
Like the scientists that examined the lunar rocks? Like the probes from China, India and Japan that support the landings? Like the weather satellite images of Earth? Like the photographs from lunar orbit that show the same small rocks and craters as Apollo images that weren't known about beforehand?
And I'm saying, as have may others, that you're wrong and it was impossible to fake. You can't fake the moon rocks.
You can't fake the images from the surface because it shows details on them that any country, or even business, could send up a probe and photograph. Why would China lie about the trails left on the ground - that's what their images show?
You can't fake a live TV broadcast with images of Earth showing the weather exactly as it should be. You can't fake the behaviour of loose regolith when it's disturbed by feet in lunar gravity.
