These concepts have been debunked before. There's even a "bad science" website easily refuting all these points. (Can anyone remember the URL?)
One thing to remember about Apollo 11 (first landing)... they installed a laser reflection experiment (forget the actual name of the project) that
involved the installation of a special mirror on the moon's surface. The experiment wasn't accomplished previously with automated landers because it
required on-the-spot human intervention with final adjustments of the reflector.
Universities around the world are still using the reflector today.
