The moon hoax conspiracy is probably the most unimportant theory there is.

I have spent a lot of time delving into this subject, over the course of many years. I started looking into it because I too thought they could have been faked. But after all the time and research, there is no doubt in my mind that we did indeed go to the moon. There is just too much evidence confirming this, not to mention the tens of thousands of people who were involved with these missions in one fashion or another. For instance, there were companies who designed and built a working lunar module, command module, spacesuit, etc., etc., and all of these things worked after the bugs were removed.
There were the programmers who worked tirelessly creating the operating system for the computers inside the spacecrafts, and there are countless stories involving thousands of people that just cannot be faked. And they would have had to have been faked if we didn't go to the moon. And there would have to have been a LOT of people in on the action. Something like this could not be done without much help.
The American people could have been fooled more easily than the engineers and other experts associated with the space program at that time, and out of all those people, there would be many instances of people claiming the moon landings were faked. Instead, what we have is many people who get offended when people who believe this nonsense try and detract from the ingenuity and hard work of those involved.

I think you are spot on r2d246. For so long I have wanted to get into the mix. Guess my timidity has hurt in the past. I worked for NASA, roughly 11 years as a project manager. Some of us would chat occasionally about the likelihood or unlikelihood of our being buggered on some of this stuff, especially the planetary probes and Apollo. Sometimes, I think because we were women, a couple of girlfriends and I that worked there, people actually paid us MORE mind. But ultimately we'd get shouted down. The main reason for my suspicions, tendency toward disbelief in the reality of the big projects, had to do with the principals not being very convincing. I met Gene Cernan and I thought he was a con man, VERY UNCONVINCING as a spaceman. I listened to him talk and thought, "No way this guy went to the moon, NO WAY!". I don't think Cernan could park a car, let alone land a lunar excursion vehicle and drive a rover. Also, the hostility thing. I always felt that, and still do, the hostility of the conventional view folks is so much out of proportion to the hoax believers. That is a telltale sign of weakness, aggression. This is so because there is no genuine alternative. I am yet to declare myself an HB publicly , but and am on the verge of it. I also met Lovell. He yaks like mad, but it is all bull. I don't think he could pass a college level calculus with a B+. He come across as a C student with the gift of gab. The planetary probe projects and Apollo are gamed, can't be legitimate.
That's some story sir/mam but a story nether the less... must try harder.

Ditto when I met Lovell. He tells the EXACT SAME stories over and over. There is no play in his play. He has a story, or better said, a script memorized and he doesn't deviate. These guys are drilled. I never met Armstrong, but one of my girlfriends did, a colleague at NASA, with a similar job as mine. Her take was similar to mine. Not that Armstrong was not capable. She said he blew her away, very imposing he was. But there was no give or take in his story telling. So she started thinking as I did and do. Something funny is up.

"People love conspiracy theories," Armstrong replied. "I mean, they are very attractive. But it was never a concern to me because I know one day, somebody is going to go fly back up there and pick up that camera I left."
What an arbitrary declaration by Neil.
Would be nice if it were true...but, since we now know that Mars is the new Moon, and the Moon lost it's appeal to NASA for some reason, they will not be going to the Moon for some time...if ever. So this proof Neil speaks of, will most likely never be picked up by a human hand. Even if somebody goes up there again, who will it be ? A NASA astronaut or you and me ? And if it's some kinda astronaut...you think he would report back all puffed up...: "Hey people, I just landed, and there is no trace of the rovers...!?!?"
doubt it...
This statement from Neil is nothing more than a taunting a legless horse with a carrot..."sure it's up there...when you get there you will see it"...great, Neil. Thanks.
