Regarding the moon landing a hoax, there is a substantial internet presence of absolutely unscientific nonsense in many places. There is a youtube channel devoted to explaining how jet planes don't need much fuel and we are being robbed by the airlines, that the earth is flat and NASA releases fake pictures of planets and earth curvature. And about a week ago I ran into a young Baptist minister, and when I got into a discussion with him it turned out he had no strong opinion on whether or not the U.S. landed on the moon because he can find realistic internet sites which insist we couldn't have landed on the moon for various reasons. "I know about Einstein and matter transference and time travel." he said at one point. In short, he had no understanding of what science is about, and how to distinguish what is scientific from what is nonsense.
