      It is false. They did land on the Moon.
      Every so called evidence can be rejected if you understand the science and mainly the result of the people not understanding the technology or conditions on the Moon.
      Besides Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft have made pictures of the Apollo landing sites.

      Its junk. I’ve worked with Apollo 11 soil samples and they are quite different to stuff that’s been weathered by erosion on the Earth. The effort involved in maintaining the conspiracy is probably larger than actually doing it for real…

      The Moon is a fundamentally different environment to the Earth and so our usual concepts of how things should be (e.g. dust being blown around by exhaust jets etc) are thrown out of whack by the vacuum environment and low gravity.

      Well, we use so many of the design concepts that were developed for those missions in today’s satellites, and our communication systems (Satellite TV, long distance phone calls, live football matches) work, based on that technology. The conspiracy theories have some flaws in them – the science really does work out!

      For sure Apollo 11 did land on the Moon, as did the other successful Apollo missions.

      If that huge rocket wasn’t going to the Moon – where was it going? 🙂
