You don't seem to understand the importance of success in the Apollo project, no one could die, they just had to fake it. There was no one in the Landing Module (LM)
What are you talking about test pilots risk their lives all the time. And that is exactly who Apollo picked for astronauts. Doest take a brain surgeon to figure out why.So you think they are going to spend all that money to send up empty capsules.That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard wow.
Do you think they would land it, with somebody on board, before test landing it ? no chance !

Not everyone who has doubts about the moon landings think that we never went to the moon. Some think only that what was presented to us was not a true and accurate account.
I have always found one thing beyond all others that assures me of this and nothing anyone says will be able to reconcile it in my head, for me, this is absolute.
In 1969 with the entire world watching, NASA was going to "live" broadcast the biggest event in human history, something that seemed impossible, the scope of which was incredibly complex and by rational standards completely untested and they were going to do it at a time when hostility between America and Russia was real and tense, at a time when the Americans had lost every other space fairing race with there cold war adversary when American confidence and opinion was waning.
Had anything that could of went wrong out of the thousands that were possible it would have meant certain death for all the astronauts involved in front of hundreds of millions of Americans and our governments most bitter foes, this would of possibly been a slow painful death for American government and the result still to this day probably can not be measured. It would have been utter chaos and the fallout from which, America may have not recovered.
Contemplating this, think, what makes more sense, sending the brave hero astronauts that America knows and loves or sending others that the public does not know while Neil, Buzz and Michael are safely on Earth filming parts in a studio so if something should happen and the astronauts that did go died, it would not be witnessed by the entire world.
I believe we went to the moon, what I don't believe is the first man to walk on it was Neil Armstrong, I don't think he or any of the others said to be on that Apollo mission were. I think it was simply far to dangerous for America to risk the stability of our entire country on the very real risk and high probability of failure. I think they sent others and I think the discrepancies in some of the video and stills is because it is a mix between real video and images and those that were done here on Earth with the crew we were told was going.

Amazing, there really are all kinds of special on the hoax side.
So they flew to the Moon and landed the LEM remotely from lunar orbit... because it was 'dangerous'..?
Were there two sets of astronauts then? The movie stars and the ones who flew the LEM to the Moon to land it remotely from orbit? Who was where?
Landing and take of with the LEM had never been tested, the flights were test flights, not the real missions.
42 years later, UK-led astronomers now hope to track down Snoopy, which is believed to still be orbiting the sun.

NASA landed Snoopy by remote control on the moon at one of the other Apollo landing sites. There is absolutely no reason to let that hardware go to waste by flinging Snoopy all the way out to the Sun.
Maybe they set Snoopy down on Tranquility Base...
That is total b.s.
It is a better strategy for the Russians to stay in low earth orbit and never confirm Nixon's Apollo.

Wouldn't a better strategy be to actually go to the Moon and provide absolute proof that the Americans were never there?

Even if the Russians would do that, and say to the world that they can't find anything on the moon regarding the apollo stuff there.
The USA would respond with :
a) The Russians didn't search good enough.
b) The Russians stole our apollo stuff from the moon.

Look what NASA has done... put NO FLY ZONES around the moon because they have something to hide on the moon.
APOLLO 17 A3 -3 EXCLUSION ZONE – APOLLO 12, 14-16 SITES RECOMMENDATION:
A. More access should be provided to individual components/artifacts at the Apollo 12, 14-16 sites in order to allow for enhanced scientific and exploration-based assessments. The following exclusion zones have been identified by component/type:
Descent stage – 3 meters buffer distance
Lunar rover (LRV ) – 1 meter buffer distance
ALSEP experiments – 1 meter buffer distance
Sampling sites – 1 meter buffer distance
All other artifacts (flag, tools, storage bags, etc. ) – 1 meter buffer distance
No restrictions on footprints/LRV tracks outside the indentified exclusion zones.
