I personally believe that the Moon Landing is fake.

Why? And I ask because I am a huge skeptic of everything, but I actually believe that happened.

Prove me wrong?

top proof is they "lost" origiunal tapes and "forgot" the technology on how to do it, although as an aerospace engineer I understand the science behind it and it is possible that we went and the videos do look like what it would look like, the flag's not really waving and the stars wouldn't show because it was daylight on the moon and the sky was just black because of the lack of atmosphere, the astronauts could have jumped higher if they wanted but that would be dangerous to possibly damage their suits.

'evidence' maybe, but that is hardly 'proof'.

never play semantics

it's not semantics. there is a world of difference between evidence and proof.

The thing that tipped me over the edge was the "live" phone call with the Astronauts on the moon and Richard Nixon. Which is impossible, as there is an eight minute delay.

There is a lot more, but that really did it for me.

I think you are mistaken: Radio waves travel at the speed of light. Light takes 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the earth (~93,000,000 miles / 186,200 miles per second / 60 seconds per minute = 8.3 minutes).

A radio signal from the moon would take about 1.3 seconds (~250,000 miles / 186,200 miles per second).
