Well Mr Wise Guy, your post may seem to say it must be true then... However, forget all the trick photography and professionally faked videos... All you need to consider to understand why the trip was faked is a follows;
1. The Van Allen Belt!
2. The technology available at that time
3. The President had committed the US to beat the Russians, yet with the world watching, couldn't risk frying
astronauts live on TV.
If you watch ALL the youtube footage, and study all the evidence, it's easy to piece together why this never happened. Think outside of the 'box'.
They never landed and never could have - fact!

Thank You, couldn't have said it better myself......There is way to much evidence that it never happened.....To date 87 reasons why it couldn't have happened. They can't even go there today.....Fake vids put out by them to try and discredit the real truth of it never happening....911 Buildings were nuked, the moon landing never happened...

Absolutely ridiculous to say that technology wasn't advanced enough to get to the moon in '69, and even more ridiculous to say it's impossible today.
The technology required to get to the moon is very slim...the only thing you really need is enough fuel to reach earth orbit, then a little extra for the trip to the moon. You make about a 30 second burn from orbit to transfer over to lunar orbit, and then another short burn to slow down and land. Then, when you want to return, you're gonna burn your engines for another 30 seconds or so to get back, with another 30 second or so burn to slow down and land. You don't even really need computers to do it, just a really strong working knowledge of orbital physics, a craft that won't burn up on reentry, and enough fuel.
Besides, if noone has landed on the moon, then where did those laser reflectors come from? These Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment. NASA might be hiding some stuff from us, but it certainly isn't a fake moon landing. This was real, we just don't spend the public funds to do it anymore.

Yeah, we could've easily set up those reflectors remotely, no doubt about it. The whole landing could have been filmed in a studio just to cover their butts, it's certainly plausible. My issue is the thinking that it's impossible to put man up there on the moon, because of lack of technology or other reasons. I tend to think that if it weren't for his warmongering, Adolph Hitler would've had Germany on the moon in the late 40's or early 50's. They definitely had the tech to do it (as it doesn't take much) just not the will. And it was a Nazi who put the US up there anyway.
There is just way too much video and photographic evidence, as well as eyewitness accounts and literally thousands of people who worked on the project. As fanatical as Buzz Aldrin is concerning NASA cover-ups, I would think him to be the first to speak out if there really was a fake landing. He hasn't said it was fake, so I believe it wasn't.

Let's just see what we have here:
People who say the moon landing was real: NASA; USSR; amateur astronomers; astronauts and their doctors; every scientist before and after the landing; anyone who knows how satellites work; the entire aerospace industry; every reporter and investigative journalists who have lived since the moon landings; telecomms industry; CNSA; ESA; Mythbusters; most people who finish school; people who can read
People who say the moon landing was fake: conspiracy theorists; weirdos on youtubeedit on 4/4/2011 by Griffo because: (no reason given)

... Not to mention that its 390 000 KM AWAY!!!!!!
It means they traveled at 1000 km/h for 390 hours... Or 2000km/h for 195 hours... Just how long were they gone... how much gas does a trip like that take? times two cause they had to come back also... 390 000 km.
So if they could go 2000km/h round trip is 390 hours.
The speed of sound is 1,236km/h so they could go twice as fast and it would take 390 hours round trip...
is that it. If so, is there some thing that i do not understand, can some one explain...
No air resistance maybe?

Look at it this way... You've stated in front of the world you will be on the moon by the end of the decade. A few weeks before, your test flight landing vessel is flying like a kite in a strong wind, and you've recently fried some astronauts in a ground based simulator. You need to lead the way and beat the Russians! There is no going back.
Then you realise its impossible to achieve given the technology at your disposal, so what do you do. If you risk it, given the rather useless tests to date, you risk blowing all your credibility and killing more astronauts in full view of the world. Failure to land would obviously be an enormously embarassing failure for the future of the USA.
Solution... Keep all parties involved isolated from each other, so they can't know more than their set involvement. Develop a studio setting and limiting knowledge to a small select few. Run a simulation on the day that Huston itself thinks is for real. Let the public watch and believe.
Net result... No one dies. The USA land on the moon... and everything is glorious!

Your link to Hoax Claims is interesting, but can be disputed in many ways. For example, just because 400,000 people were involved doesn't mean they had to lie.
If I employed you and 9 others to build parts for a secret weapon I was making, and you were instructed to produce one element of that weapon, not knowing what the other 9 were doing, could you confirm a secret weapon was built, or simply that you built one part of it?!
The more people that were involved made it easier to hide the next and previous stages. No one saw the complete task from build to launch, to land!
As for other 'proofs' it happended, most of these can be disputed.
I say, even if Van Allens Belt wasn't a threat, the technology wasn't advanced enough, and the risk was too great to kill a bunch of astronauts live on TV.
