The claim for men on the moon requires a ship capable of making the trip, so you are doubting man's ability to send a spacecraft to the moon, with men inside that craft.

Impressive list of missions to the moon by : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moon

Missions to the Moon have been conducted by the following nations and entities (in chronological order): the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, the European Space Agency, China, India, Luxembourg, Israel, Italy, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates. The Moon has also been visited by five spacecraft not dedicated to studying it; four spacecraft have flown past it to gain gravity assistance, and a radio telescope, Explorer 49, was placed into selenocentric orbit in order to use the Moon to block interference from terrestrial radio sources. As part of human exploration of the Moon, numerous space missions have been undertaken to study Earth's natural satellite. Of the Moon landings, Luna 2 of the Soviet Union was the first spacecraft to reach its surface successfully,[1] intentionally impacting the Moon on 13 September 1959. In 1966, Luna 9 became the first spacecraft to achieve a controlled soft landing,[2] while Luna 10 became the first mission to enter orbit. Between 1968 and 1972, crewed missions to the Moon were conducted by the United States as part of the Apollo program. Apollo 8 was the first crewed mission to enter orbit in December 1968, and it was followed by Apollo 10 in May 1969. Six missions landed humans on the Moon, beginning with Apollo 11 in July 1969, during which Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. Apollo 13 was intended to land; however, it was restricted to a flyby due to a malfunction aboard the spacecraft. All nine crewed missions returned safely to the Earth. While the United States focused on the crewed Apollo program, the Soviet Union conducted uncrewed missions that deployed rovers and returned samples to the Earth. Three rover missions were launched, of which two were successful, and eleven sample return flights were attempted with three successes.

I know that corrupt governments lie, but if they are lying about sending men to the moon, you should be able to provide a reasonable motive.

I've already asked you why haven't they gone back since. I'm not saying they can't get ships out of the atmosphere or to the moon. You are simply not factoring the human element. For instance when deep sea diving you can't go down or up to fast because it can cause serious harm and even death. Now imagine leaving earth's atmosphere, entering "space" and then landing in an entirely different atmosphere in the moon...

You are the one accusing the government of a massive lie, so you have the burden of explaining a motive. So don't put the burden on me to answer your questions. If you are right, I would certainly like to be in agreement with you, but the motive is lacking, in my opinion, so I am unconvinced there would be any need to lie about men landing on the moon.

I've already asked you why haven't they gone back since.

You speak as if they only went one time. But the official story, whether true or not, is that "24 astronauts flew 9 missions to the Moon between December 1968 and December 1972." and "12 men walked on the lunar surface". They claim to have repeated the mission. But why repeat it again? It's not like people can easily live on the moon, so the motive to go back to the moon also seems questionable. What resources are available on the moon to make it worthwhile?
