Let me throw out a question I can't answer,

Pictures of the lander and the background

Looking at them I see as if two different locations or pictures that appear to be merged. The background of the soil is always a bright WHITE like I would think you would get on the Moon since no air to block the Sun, the Lander however is as if sitting in a completely different location. Would not the Sun reflect just as much on the soil on which the lander is sitting, looking at it I find myself asking is this a picture of a lander on Earth where with our air blocks the Sun from hitting the soil as it would on the Moon.

I think we went to the Moon but like Roswell, we keep getting a new story about what really went on out there. Could we have gone and Nasa itself not know what they were watching was an elaborate play so people would not panic as they did listening to Orson Welles "War of the Worlds"

We sent rovers to the Moon so are the background images from them added to a lander shot on Earth to give us an image of one on the Moon? How would you create images telling people you were there with equipment far less able to fake images as we can with computer programs of today. What would be the one thing they could not duplicate, which would show them as fake. Why could be a national security risk of always following the Russians in space so was the Moon a Planatary ploy to make everyone sleep better knowing Americans made it to the Moon. So we had a missle that could take out Russia if needed.

Why did we just stop when there were so many plans of building up the Moon. We were in a race and wanted to beat Russia and then we stopped in front of the finishing line, buildings on the Moon. Spending all that Billions of Dollars and then to quit. We chose the Moon not because it was easy (JFK) but that it would open up our eyes, only to close them. Today we are again trying to open our minds and eyes to the wonder on space. Only if we question a Government that repeatly been caught lieing will we ever find out the Truth.

I have seen a lot of evidence to suggest that the photography and film from the Apollo missions has been faked or tampered with, but that in itself does not prove we haven't been to the moon...

well, i believe that they leave the landers on the moon, or at least something that got there because of us. and when u see close ups of the moon, do u see anything? or even a flag?

the flag does not move in the wind, the flag had some sort of metal rods/fibre to make it like that. if it were just a normal flag then it would just roll up n you may aswell of not put a flag up there if that's the case. All this talk of shadows etc, im sure if nasa had of done those in some sort of environment back on earth then they would have made sure that if the sun was coming from the right that the shadows would have been going to the left. We made our mark on the moon, we'll do the same on mars in hopefully less than 50 years time. allthough im sure there will be some who will say we did not land on mars, the soil looks like the soil from earth, that rock has a letter on it like a stage prop...lol. anyway if you want to see some proper pictures of the moon landing do not get them off the internet, do you not realise how people can alter pictures nowadays? you could probably make all the shadows face in the wrong direction and make it look perfect. also the reason why buz doesnt like being interviewed about the moon landing...well how would you like it if every interview you did started with 'so hey buz, what's it like being the 2ND!!! man on the moon'... lol

Did not get a chance to rectify due to other topic considerations being looked at. My bust, but admitting such, I re-read your intial post and have two questions:
1) Are you insisting or believing that the moon landing was indeed a hoax?
2) Did you try the ATS search engine to see just how many threads are addressing the Moon landing 'conspiracy'?

1. Well, i am pretty sure it is a hoax, because of the impossible search engine results, and also because of the audio of the astronauts talking to mission control. there is a very short pause between the two speaking, but light takes 2-3 seconds to travel that far.

2. I did look at the volume of posts available here, but i thought that since my theory is original, it warranted a new thread. I did not however read all of them.

Speed of Light = 299,792,458 m/sec
Mean Distance to Moon = 384,400,000 m
Time for light to travel from Moon to Earth = 1.28222038194 seconds

The audio delay is within limits.

Not a hoax....my opinion

Any idea how many threads on this? It's a bunch...
