I wrote this for another forum recently:
There is no doubt we went to the moon. Only conspiracy freaks who never read anything that might upset their pet theories doubt it. They'll point to waving flags on the airless moon and claim it to be a breeze on a movie soundstage. They never notice that the only time the flag moves is when an astronaut is bumping the flagpole; the rest of the time the flag is stark still.
They'll also observe the lack of background stars in photographs of astronauts standing on the moon, never taking the time to understand the principles of photographic exposure settings on cameras.
Aside from all that, the astronauts left on the moon a special mirror box that will reflect a laser beam from any direction back the way it came. It's used to make very precise measurements of the moon's orbit. You could zap a laser at this instrument yourself and time the reflection to confirm that we've been there.
Also, while the moon shots were taking place in the 60s, lots of amateur radio enthusiasts from all countries around the world tracked the radio signals using directional antennas as the astronauts traveled to the moon and back. That is not fakeable.
And finally, if there were ANY evidence that the moon shots were fake, the Russians, who were fiercely competing with the US to get there first would certainly have pointed it out. They didn't.
