Why are you so sure what you read reflected reality?
The answer to that is “I’m not”, but then I’m not sure that anything we perceive necessarily reflects reality.

Also, there's the plausible scenario that an unmanned craft actually went and landed to fool the people tracking
They would have to have taped the entire mission and sent the astronaut's side of the conversations to be played back, this would have to allow for the time differential in communication as the craft drew further from the earth, also video was relatively new and storage would have been on large reels using bulky equipment to play them, this would have to fly to the moon land and take of again and whilst they had the technology to send men to the moon, I think to send that sort of unmanned craft would have been very difficult if not impossible with 1969 technology. The only other method would have been to bounce signals of the spacecraft, they would still have had problems with the time delay in the communications and the fact that the uplink would have been detected.

(If there really were people tracking).
I think we can assume that there were, it was a fairly important event after all

Conspiracies do occur but for the moon lading conspiracy to be viable it would have had to be international and to have included participation of the world’s scientific community.


If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
