+ they placed box mirrors that you can actually test with a laser and put fake expedition remainings that you can verify with a good telescope. Yeah, that's some quality conspiracy lol :D

If the moon landing was fake then the Cold War was fake, the USSR wouldn't have 'allowed' the US to win. Back then the comparative budget to nowadays was considerably higher, and the calculated success rate of going to the moon and back was 50 percent. When they return to the moon, the calculated success rate would have to be basically 100 percent. It wouldn't actually be 100 percent, more like 99.95 percent. Another consideration for the stress of doing it right is not only that they have to consider the astronauts life, but any failure even to get there and back (especially doing it safely) would be considered a major failure, since people would expect perfection.

The US weren't the ones to actually receive the moon landing transmissions, it was Australia :). This was due to two reasons. The obvious one, the moon is only visible from the US part of the day! and the second reason is that having another country receive it adds credence to the fact they got there in the first place. Also, during the moon landing the moon would have been visible from the USSR, allowing the soviets to witness the source of the transmission through their own receiving equipment.

So, how come we got to the moon but not Mars? Well, Mars is very much considerably further away, taking half a year to get there, not a couple of days. That requires considerably more life support, not to mention fuel etc just to get there. The craft would have to be much larger since it would suck being cramped up for half a year each way! Then there's muscle atrophy and loss of bone density due to the extended lack of gravity. Mars is much larger than the moon and has much more gravity. You would need a much better landing system requiring even more fuel, and the takeoff from Mars is much more difficult because you don't have a launch platform! The amount of fuel required to take with them would be immense. It wouldn't require anywhere near what it takes on Earth to reach escape velocity, but it would require vastly more than off the moon.

It's not a bad thing to question things, but I think the questioning if often misdirected.

only someone without brain and no knowledge of the situation in the world at that time would not believe the moon landing, simple matter of fact if it was fake ussr would have immediately yelled to rest of the world and made fun of americans lol, they did what ever they could to discredit each other at the time and yet they didn't say a workd of it beeing fake
