Strange that people question our landing on the moon more than they question our landing on Mars (or on Titan in January).
Granted the moon involved humans and Mars (so far) has involved robots, but Mars is a whole lot further away.
Maybe everything we ever thought about space exploration is a fake. Maybe we don't have satellites in orbit. Maybe Hubble is just making computer generated art. Maybe I'm just dreaming this whole world.
We've definitely landed the moon and elsewhere. And there's no doubt about our telescopes. Hubble finds great images out there.
BUT, part of it is computer generated, mostly though it's just artifical color enhancements, since it only captures B&W images.they look nice with the colors. They also digitally paint over the pictures of the poles you find. That's why it' always just plain white on top and on bottom.
And regarding the hoax, the answer is that both camps are correct.
We've landed, and we did when we said we did, but the video evidence broadcast on TV and elsewhere? - hoax, filmed here on earth.
Do a quick youtube search for neil armstrong and/or buzz aldrin and their comments.
And an account from the HAM radio operators who were listenign, as someone else has mentioned for the validity of the landing:
"Timothy Good writes that HAM radio operators receiving the VHF signals directly picked up the following message which was screened by NASA from the public.
Mission Control: What's there ? Mission Control calling Apollo 11.
Apollo 11: These babies are huge, sir ... enormous....Oh, God, you wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other space craft out there... lined up on the far side of the crater edge... they're on the moon watching us. "
