@mark noble,
Radio technology in the 60s was advance to the point we was able to launch probes to the outer solar system tens of thousands of times the distance to the moon and received messages that was send with five watts or so of power.
Now the more I think about it the more amused I get as once the mothership separated from the Lander there was now two sources of radio commutation one sitting on the moon and one moving in relationship to the moon of a ship in moon orbit.
Doppler effects would have clearly shown this surely to the USSR listeners as well as the US tracking people.
As your links claimed that this show was to impress the USSR the fact this was fake would had been plain at once to the USSR and surely others in zero time seem to blow that theory out of the water.
The above is just one of a thousand and one reasons that the moon landing could not had been fake.
As far as just taking my word for it how about taking the word of the thousands of people who was involved with the progress not to say anything about the people such as the USSR monitors that would had known about such a fake.
Or the man who the VA belt was name after or......and on and on we go.
