Apollo Moon Landing: Fake or Factual?

Is the Moon landing of Apollo one of the greatest frauds ever?

What would the motives of the US government and media to fake the Apollo Moon Landing? Most reason could be summarized in 3 ideas: Distraction, Cold War Prestige, and MONEY. First, the US government benefited from taking people's distraction away from the Vietnam War which was occuring at the tiem as the US ceased its involvement in the Vietnam War. By Cold War Prestige, I mean that the US felt that it was important to win the "space race" againt Russia. This could improve their publicity, image, and strength as viewed by the USSr and the world (propaganda). It would have been easy for the US to fake the moon landing and guarantee success. Moreover, in terms of money, the NASA raised about 30 billion dolors to go to the moon! This could have ben used to pay many people motivating them for manipulation.

Here are some reasons to be skeptical about moon landing. It was said that Neil Armstrong was the first person to step on the moon. But the picture take by NASA was taken looking up at Armstrong as he was stepping on the moon. This means that the photographer must have been lying on the planet, while taking the picture. Now if Armstrong was the first man on the moon, who was taking the picture? How is it possible that the flag and the astronaut were both brighty lit when their side was to the light? In all the shots taken, the stars do not show. But even if there is an explanation  for no stars, many photos seem to have multiple light sources shining on the surroundings, casting shadows in different directions, even though there is only one (bright enough) light source visible on the moon which is the Sun.. And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon? The Lander weighed 17 tons and yet the astronaut's feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust.

Does this make you skeptical enough? If it doesn't, there are more ideas to make us question the "honest" NASA moon landing.

Take the quality of the pictures for example, it is incredibly high! But at the time the moon landing occured, they did not have advanced technologies in their cameras for such good exposure. Also, the film stock was not affected by the intense peaks and powerful cosmic radiation on the moon. The moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that the camera films should have melted.

The most interesting part I found was how the American flag and signs referring to US are brightly lit and focused on. Government seeking publicity much?

The pictures taken are main things to be skeptical about which means that we cannot "blindly" believe what we SEE! could this be the greatest government conspiracy? Was the moon walking filmed in a studio? Do you believe the Moon Landing Hoax?
