What kind of evidence is needed to support the theory that the moon landings were faked?
First of all, did the US spend billions developing the Atlas series of launch vehicles, and did tens of thousands of witnesses watch the launches from the Space Centre?
If they did, where did the rockets go? Were other countries able to track their positions? When the astronauts were in communication with earth stations, did the stations have to locate the source of transmission, and was it in line with a course to the moon and back?
If the launches were faked, what did all those people see, where did the rockets go, and how was communication with them arranged so it appeared to be between the earth and moon? It was an extremely elaborate deception, if that's what it was.
Every amateur astronomer and every government with access to radio dishes was deceived by the plotters, including the Russians and the Chinese who would have uncovered the plot if they could. This would have been easy for them to do if the lunar modules didn't actually travel to the moon and back.
So why would the US go to all that trouble, and not land anyone on the moon? I suppose the astronauts could have just orbited the moon for a while instead. But then the US would have to fake the landing sites somehow, because the Russians and Chinese can take photos of the surface from lunar orbit these days. Or maybe the plotters thought that would never happen?
