And the motive, well USSR was way ahead in the space race, and the USA needed something to not loose face to them. So yes, there was a motive
so - in order to " save face " - they instigated a hoax - that if - had they been caught - would have caused utter hummiliataion
you really need to think this through

You don't have to trust anything they tell you. You have all the tools you need at your disposal to verify the facts for yourself. You can check the photographs and TV footage and see how it compares with modern images taken by orbital probes from a variety of countries - including China, who aren't exactly best buddies with the USA. You can use software to construct 3D models of the landing sites and reproduce the views they photographed. You can compare photographs of Earth with the weather satellite imagery of the day, and with astronomy software to see what should have been visible when they took the photographs and made the live TV broadcasts. You can read up on geology and see how the lunar samples they brought back shape up. You can look at the stellar photography they did (yes, they photographed stars) and see how the positions of the planets match up with what should be there. You can still go and meet and listen to Apollo astronauts and hear their testimony in person, rather than take the biased interpretations of people who have never met them and want to twist their words. All these things are perfectly easy to do and you can satisfy yourself that you have actually explored all the options and come to a conclusion based on facts, not belief or faith.
Or you can be lazy and watch a youtube video you agreed with before you even hit play instead. Whichever.

VERY interesting I must say. I personally choose to believe we went to the moon. But the conspiracy theorist in me has always questioned it.

Doesn't need an OP, read it all for yourself

No need to get all sniffy about it. You were the one implying people accept Apollo as fact on a matter of faith rather than actual knowledge and years of research into the subject.

Oh the hypocrisy. I will not trust “they”. But I will buy into anything I want to hear as a media consumer from YouTube as gospel......
Iam ok with being in doubt, cause i cant prove if it was false or real, and iam not gonna make this a religion, but you can believe whatever you want, and have faith that it is truth. Cause you cant prove anything either

Read it don't read it, I couldn't care less. You can choose to educate yourself or you can not bother. I've given you a source of information that is not based on faith or belief but factual analysis and logical deduction.
Here's what you said:

What else were you implying by placing those words in bold? As far as I can tell that is exactly what you are implying - that people who accept the Apollo record as fact are doing so without any factual basis, and that's false. As far as I'm concerned I can prove it and have.
You also manage to dismiss what I've done as worthless without even reading it, which is pretty much the point I was making about believing youtube videos before even hitting 'play'. You're willing to give something credence because you are prejudiced in advance, regardless of any facts that might get in the way.
I keep repeating that i DONT KNOW, because i dont have enough facts to make a decision.
