[rest snipped]

Beyond the fact we dragged back 382 kg of moon rock,
snip [etc.], there's no proof that we went to the moon.

Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists' minds are hermetically sealed.

The gadgetry we left up there doesn't prove anything. Everything that
was left behind - from corner cubes, to LM descent stages, to EVA
suits, to bags of frozen urine - *could* have been placed there by
robotic missions. Could've even had EVA suit boots on a rover that
bounced aroud to make the footprints.

The gadgetry we left up there, the Moon rocks here, and all the
recorded mission telemetry and communication does, however, make it
extremely unlikely that the Apollo Moon missions were faked. It
would've cost way more and would've been much more difficult to fake
everything than it did and was to just plain send some guys up there.
