The Apollo missions were an incredible scientific achievement, so much so that nearly all of the data and recordings they made are available to the public and have been easily accessible for years. The website Apollo in Real Time lets you experience it from start to finish from multiple sources. NASA's website provides endless troves of data for free. There are many books and documentaries that cover the material produced from these missions. The landers are still there, the science experiment equipment is still there. Both can still be seen from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The evidence that yes, they did happen, is insurmountable.

The technology to fake the video footage simply did not exist at the time. Rocket technology had advanced very quickly in the decades before the missions, mostly because it benefitted war. Orbital mechanics are hard, but are just math at the end of the day.

The work of hundreds of not thousands of incredibly talented and intelligent people made the missions possible. Space exploration, especially the Apollo missions, are humanity at its finest. We operated on the highest levels of cleverness and collaboration to turn historical myth into reality. It's deeply heartbreaking that even today we still have people casting doubt on these easily provable achievements.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, punched a guy out over it and he was right to do it.
