I grew up watching them all I saw Neil step on the moon on TV . We never missed any of the Apollo missions that were on TV. The first mission when they just circled the moon - Apollo 11 and 12 when they landed. Nobody was watching Apollo 12 so they decide not to put Apollo 13 on due to ratings .I remember being disappointed we only saw the lift off until the emergency and then we were glued to the TV everyone was . It was live right from mission control on TV the whole world was watching I can remember holding our breath during the black out when they weren't sure they would make it back or skip off the atmosphere they kept calling them a few time and no one would answer and then finally you hear them and they are all safe.

It was all real.

I may be alone in my view, but i honestly doubt humans have been on the moon.
Fair enough, but you might need to know the effort required and the numbers of people involved to see how such a fraud could ever have not been found out. Also, the USSR would undoubtedly have chirped up if they knew it was a fraud. So why didn't they? It would have been pointless to have carried out any fraud. Speaking as someone who did work in the aerospace industry - shortly after the first Moon landing - and knowing something as to the complexities involved, but mine involving aircraft.

I dont say they did not leave earth :) but my personal view is that they could not get there with the technology they had.

But i do admit i could be wrong of course

Well, judging by the technology we have now it was extremely primitive, and hence so remarkable that they did achieve so much.
 
We can photograph the surface and see . Here's is just one picture. How do they stage that?

In the 70s I worked in aerospace with many guys who
worked in the Apollo program. So if it's a conspiracy
to pretend we went to the Moon, it's a massive one
involving thousands & thousands of people. And
yet...none step forward to admit complicity.

I can understand how people with no experience in
aerospace engineering could doubt something they
only saw on TV, which is full of fictional shows.
And primitive non-space faring countries like Norway
wouldn't have any experience or association with
such engineering programs.

The technology was certainly there, but the biggest
problem I saw was their computers. They were simple
affairs using a lot of hard wiring on the ships.
Lots of technology behind the moon landing

I think movies add to the doubts of some people.

This was good movie but wasnt on Mars...

Most people have no experience with the space
program whatsoever. They don't even know people
who work in it. So I can understand how something
so ambitious & exotic would be viewed skeptically.

Look on the surface of the moon today. It's all still there.

Unless you think the moon itself is one big giant projection.
