One theory I was thinking about is maybe they did land and the aliens and bases were there. Perhaps this is why they created a hoaxed film to show the public as they couldn't show the real footage? I appreciate it was supposedly streamed live and watch by millions on TV but I wouldn't put it past NASA to have pre-recorded something just in case the moon wasn't all as it seemed.
I'm unsure as to what happened but I feel that we're definitely not being told the whole truth.

I am so tired of the moon hoax issue. As a matter of fact I think it is demeaning to the astronauts who went there.

They put [snip] mirrors on the moon and lasers are fired at them everyday.

I don't doubt Nixon had a prepared statement, but as far as the details I could not find what was contained in that speech.
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations.
In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied.
But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.
The Soviets successfully landed unmanned craft and rovers capable of deploying such items, As early as 1966 mind you. Reflectors would have been easy to deploy, unmanned.
Retroreflectors on the Moon
Main article: Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment
Astronauts on the Apollo 11, 14, and 15 missions left retro-reflectors on the Moon as part of the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment. They are considered to conclusively prove that man-made equipment is present on the moon and thus disprove some Moon landing hoax accusations. Additionally the Soviet Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 rovers carried smaller arrays. Reflected signals were initially received from Lunokhod 1, but no return signals have been detected since 1971, at least in part due to some uncertainty in its location on the Moon. Lunokhod 2's array continues to return signals to Earth. Even under good viewing conditions, only a single reflected photon is received every few seconds. This makes the job of filtering laser-generated photons from naturally-occurring photons challenging.
Launch and lunar orbit
Luna 17 was launched on November 10, 1970 at 14:44:01 UTC. After reaching earth parking orbit, the final stage of Luna 17's launching rocket fired to place it into a trajectory towards the Moon (1970-11-10 at 14:54 UTC). After two course correction maneuvers (on November 12 and 14), it entered lunar orbit on November 15, 1970 at 22:00 UTC.
Landing and surface operations
The spacecraft soft-landed on the Moon in the Sea of Rains on November 17 at 03:47 UTC.....

However to suggest that the Lunar Reflecters are proof that man landed on the moon is absurd.
The Luna 13 spacecraft was launched toward the Moon from an earth-orbiting platform and accomplished a soft landing on December 24, 1966
