Let's look at the accusations. The conspiracy buffs make these and other accusations. A project to land on the Moon and return home safely, faked or real, takes a great many people. A faked Moon project would require that hundreds of scientists who work at NASA tell lies. But space flight launches, even Space Shuttle take-offs, are extremely popular events.
People travel long distances for the privilege and excitement of seeing a rocket blast into space.
Recovery of a mission such as Apollo takes place in the ocean and typically involves a large navy ship with lots of sailors. Other accusations are based on movie film footage of the Moon's surface. Poorly done Moon scenes are offered as proof that the movie is a fake. Before looking at some specific points, let's examine the fantasy film theory. People who do believe that NASA put out a fake film point out what they believe are NASA mistakes.
