If you're going to question the landing then you'll have to have the same objection to the entire space program.

No you don't.

Well then, where did reality end and a fraud begin? With the entire Apollo program? Earlier? How about the Russians? And how about those flimsy space probes that are currently exploring interstellar space?

If the landings were faked you're talking about a conspiracy involving over a hundred thousand people.

There isn't enough proof for the moon landing hoax yet, but it wouldn't involve over 100k people.

It could be staged so that operators in front of computer screens believe what they're seeing and hearing. Engineers were actually working on a rocket ship, it doesn't mean that the ship actually landed on the moon.

I think there are two indications of the moon landing hoax:

  • One is the deletion of technology and original video footage. Usually excuses like that present itself when the government is lying (see BBC accidentally "losing" their WTC7 report and then "finding" it again).

  • Second is that we can see all the Apollo moon flags except for Apollo 11 because apparently it got knocked over when the ship was taking off. Not only that, it's possible that the nylon got "melted down" in the heat of the blast. Very convenient. So not only do we not have evidence of the first flag planted on the moon, but it may no longer exist.

There may be a couple other solid arguments, but most arguments don't really check out. The above two points aren't really solid enough to draw a conclusion.

That's actually pretty good point. A lot of people could do honest work and have no idea that there is anything wrong with it. Still, I believe they did land on the moon, honestly it was probably easier to do it than fake it.

Also, to be honest... is it really that important? It's a giant rock, that much you can see with your own eyes and much more so with telescope. We ain't going anywhere much farther away anytime soon anyway.
