I want to know, if they faked the moon landings and took phoney photos somewher in (say) New Mexico, what did they shoot up on those Saturn V rockets? What did they do in the meanwhile, between the time the rocket blasted off, which was witnessed by thousands of people and NOT on TV, and the splashdown in the pacific, which was also witnessed by real people? Were all THESE people in on the conspiracy, too?

I don't know squat about the moon, but I know a little about human beings. Think of all the people who were supposedly "in on" this secret bunko. Thousands of people. None of them have ever blabbed. Not one. Surely even ONE of them, running out of cash, facing bankruptcy and loss of house and home, needing money for drugs, WHATEVER, would go to the talk shows and cash in? Not one? For 30 years?

They were afraid of being killed? Why haven't the guys writing all these books (it's a growth industry) been killed?

Pretty soon the circles you have to draw to make the goofy conspiracy theory hold water start to look like epicycles. Better to admit the sun is in the middle, and the Lems are still on the moon, because Armstrong, Sheppard, etc. were really there. It's the easiest explanation for all the data, and Occam's razor rules.
