It's okay to disbelieve things, but I've learned that shared secrets don't last very long. The weakest kind of secret would be a large-scale lie with identical documented details independently provided by many intelligent people. In this particular conspiracy, the whole suggestion of "could be a cover up" is simply overwhelmed by human nature.
Since the space program's many heavily-involved scientists, engineers, or technicians haven't expressed "doubts", I have no doubt whatsoever.
Nevertheless, conspiracies can be healthy mental exercise.

I have an extremely high opinion of Buzz Aldrin. I really doubt a combat veteran of his caliber would put up with the BS of a faked landingComment

Why would they fake it? I can't believe that the doubters really think it's impossible to land on the moon.
99.9% of conspiracy theories are wrong and totally stupid. You only have to look back as far as 9/11.

one which we would not have if it was not for such events FACT.
I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

You know the article does a good job pointing this out
I'm sure the Ruskies would have outed us if it were fake as it was during the cold warBut his strongest argument is that all Apollo missions were tracked by the Jodrell Bank Observatory in England, a privately owned facility ? and the Russians.
"If anybody had a vested interest in saying it was faked, you'd think it was them," he said. "Even the Russians sent letters of congratulations saying: 'Well done'!"Comment
