One of, if not the most stellar technical achievement of mankind in the 20th century was putting the first man on the surface of the moon. It happened in July 1969 on the 11th Apollo spaceflight in a NASA program that started in 1961 and would continue until 1972 with 5 more successful lunar landing missions that ended with the Apollo 17 in December 1972.
After the Apollo program was scuttled after subsequent missions that would have continued up the 20th Apollo mission were cancelled, talks began to surface that the entire lunar landings were a hoax, a staged falsification by NASA and involved organizations meant to deceive the public with faked videos and stills. The fakery was managed for any of the following reasons:
It allowed a popular distraction from the raging Vietnam War and the Apollo program stopped when the war had ended.
It was easier to fake the landings than actually going there with 0.017% chance of success that require suitable technologies to overcome space constraints like the Van Allen radiation, solar flares and winds, coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays that were clearly beyond the technological maturity of the times. With a $30B budget, it would have been easier to bribe the people involved into collusion and silence than actually sending a man on the moon.
The Soviets were into problems of their own and did not have the capability to track deep space exploration and confirm or deny the fakery until 1972 at which time, the Apollo program had already ceased.
The US government has had a history of lying to its people and the world with such cover-ups as in the Roswell and Area 51 bases, the Tonkin Gulf Incident to perpetuate the Vietnam War and the Philadelphia experiment. The Manhattan Project had been a secret that would have been denied too if its objective of coming out with the worlds first atomic bomb had not succeeded.
So what does the conspiracy have against the lunar landings? Most are based on analysis of the photos and videos that point to questionable lighting conditions and the quality of the materials depicting the landings sites as being suspect and a forgery. It all started with Bill Kaysing's self-published book "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle" circulated in 1974 and then reinforced in pop culture with Peter Hyam's popular 1978 film Capricorn One depicting a hoax journey to mars. In recent polls, 25% of Americans between 18 and 25 years are not sure the landings ever took place.
There is a website that describes the Moon Landing Conspiracy and numerous other topics of interest such as secret technology, ufos, secret weapons research, bible end times predictions and many other such subjects, this website is called: The Great Deception and it may be found at this url: http://www.great-deception.com
