While I do believe people landed on the Moon, I think the footage and photos of the Moon landing may have been staged or faked.

Ohh, interesting, I like when people are able to think in nuances like this. Care to elaborate why you think so? They "lost" their real footage?

It's been a while since I've looked into it, but the official story is that they lost the original footage (I don't remember if it was recorded over or just thrown out). One of the space walk photos is clearly a mirrored version of an underwater training exercise picture that was also publicly released.

Basically, it's beyond belief to me that the original moon landing footage was accidentally lost. I also find it beyond belief that they would only fake one photograph, if they were going to fake any.

The theory that makes the most sense to me is that they knew photographic evidence would be destroyed by radiation (and maybe that they couldn't live stream video from that distance), but they also knew how badly the public wanted to see it, so they fabricated all the promotional materials.

See my response to ekzyis if you want to know why I believe the pictures and video were fake.

Why do I still believe the landing happened then? When I was in college we reflected a laser off of the corner reflectors that were left on the Moon. On it's own that's sufficient evidence to me. I also subscribe to the view that the landing itself would have been to big of an operation to just be a hoax.

Basically, I don't see any compelling holes in the Moon Landing story the way I do with the Moon Landing footage.
