Moon landings were faked?

I'm sure a few of you know about this already, but it's pretty interesting:

Why haven't we touched the Moon for 35 years?

Ancient story and I bet every piece of "evidence" against the landing could be counter-argued.

Why do so many people love to believe in conspiracies?

I have seen a few psychological studies that indicated that humans might have an innate desire to ‘believe’ in things. Conspiracies are proabably amoung those things that people somehow 'want' to believe in.
Francis Bacon said it best, "The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses."

Well phrased

Conspiracies make it easier to handle the world. Instead of imagining a world with 43247823 groups, organizations, and ideas, you can sum everything up in the form of 1 illuminati or whatever.

I read a lot about this a few months ago and decided that it's garbage. I have no doubt that we went to the moon.

un-negotiable evidence that kills fake moon landing claims:

the russians monitored the whole thing.
the russians didn't like us.
they wanted to get to the moon first.
the russian progoganda machine of the time would have been all over it if there were any real evidence to indicate they were fake.

the end.

Don't be an idiot... the USSR was made up.. it never existed. The US government made it up to scare the people and to pay for the military-industrial complex.

way to just believe everything they shove down your throat... have you ever heard of a little thing called the Van Allen Belt? A ring of radiation between us and the moon? Upon entering the Van Allen Belt the astronauts would've died of radiation poisining immediately. More than 6 feet of lead shielding would've been needed to protect them, and don't even say that they must've had it, because a ship made out of 6 foot lead walls couldn't fly.

Ignoring all the other evidence (and there's a lot), this is all you need... pure radiation that would KILL THEM BEFOER THEY GOT THERE! How's that for your "we must've gone because they told us they did" ass?!

And astronauts everywhere?! please tell me where they are?! oh.. the space station.. in orbit around the earth.. INSIDE the van allen belt..
