Which one is the simpler, and hence more plausible, scenario:
1) Apollo happened just as described
2) It is all faked and the truth hidden under layers and layers of lies with over 400 000 people working on the program, and not one of them blowing the whistle even on their deathbed, no WikiLeaks or Anonymous to bare it for all the see (yet rebel thinkers are allowed to post videos and let the public know of said lies and and the conspiracy)
I'd go with option #1.
That is because you do not present a truthfull choice.
Why is it so hard to think outside the box ?
Please allow me to help you :
1 Apollo happened just as described and many nations, the scientific community and amatures worldwide support men's greatest achievements.
From the still functional laser, the recent Apollo lunar artifact satellite pictures ,the moon rocks ( different than moon rocks found on earth) and over 400.000 people supporting the landings because they were part of it and helped accomplish the whole adventure.
2 Apollo raises many questions .
The astronauts gave press conferences so weird and without any emotion that should be part of such momentous event that everyone checking it out feels extremely ackward.
A linguistic expert of name analised some of it recently and came to the conclusion that Neil Armstrong did not go to the moon as most likely final conlusions.
Also they gave conflicting statements about how many stars ( if any ) could be seen in cislunar space..... from pitch black to ten times as bright and numerous.
That is to big of a difference to make sense whatsoever in whatever reality.
NASA destroyed up to 200.000 tapes of original Apollo 11 data and apart from their own catalogue propaganda we cannot test any of the equipment on functionality in 2018.
From the moonsuits created by a swimmingsuit company to the shielding to protect from radiation and solar flares
The astronauts were covered with dust ( Buzz claimed) but went in and out the LM .
Dust is one of the biggest thread for any moon mission as later info reveals .
But appearently the sturdy onboard technology did not suffer from the truckloads of dust brought back by the astronauts.
Buzz claimed they tried to shake some of it off with their inflexible gloves.
No live event was shown to the world as claimed, but a recorded screan projection.
From mini moons and crater landscapes to cranes and mountains.... all was there to make a perfect movie if it was not only used as test facility.
America suffered from internal riots and growing anti government sentiment during the Nam war.
This was the best way to bring back some national pride.....what a coincidence !
Since the Manhattan project America learned how to compartmentalise huge projects without the induvidual worker in the know.
You only need a few hundred to pull off whatever hoax thinkable in those pre internet times.
America used 2 GHz that amatures and the Russians could not track all the way to the moon , on the moon and back.
And the list is only in it's early stages,....... but you get the idea !
