At least you didnt dredge up the Holocaust again...making progress!
The Apollo 11 astronauts left a bank of mirrors on the Moon. We bounce laser beams off those mirrors every day. The time delay for the return beam gives us an accurate measure of the Moon's distance to Earth. I have colleagues who use this data to understand the complex dynamics of the Earth-Moon system. Since the two bodies aren't point masses, they effect each others motions through tidal forces and frame dragging. Any person in the world, given the coordinates of the mirrors can ping the moon, and many independent universities and laboratories have done so.
DJ Asia probably thinks that the US didn't have the technology to make mirrors in the 60s.

Since the Apollo 11 mission scientists of different countries, universities, labs and institutions could independently ping the Moon with lasers and use the “echo” to determine this distance between the mirror and their locations. They’ve been able to compare their independently collected results and see that the combined data they’ve collected is consistent. Other arrays of mirrors have appeared at the landing sites of other missions. So we can now triangulate and investigate theories of lunar geology.
One conspiracy theory might contend the mirrors have appeared thanks the aid of extraterrestrials. Others might be persuaded the missions that installed the mirrors were done robotically. But by far the simplest explanation, and the one consistent with all the facts is that the missions were exactly as advertised, manned missions to the Moon.

Yeah, way to go Trish.
Trish KICKS ASS AND TAKES NO PRISONERS!!!
I read that all of the Stealth F-117 fighters are being replaced by the F-22's. They already have been around for 20+ years. If the F-117's were flying 20 years ago, why is it so hard to think we landed on the moon?
This is the conspiracy I like to believe in the most, plus the chili peppers I'm backing up on this one.
