to be honest, i spent many years believing it then many more thinking it was all a hoax after reading some very convincing proofs about rocks with numbers painted on them, clarity of communications, the sheer number of components that had to work perfectly for the whole thing to be accomplished, there are no stars (it was daytime fact fans), the high quality pics - it was a high quality camera and they only published the good ones out of thousands of garbage ones, the flag "rippling in the wind" no it doesnt, its crumpled, and theres a rod along the top to hold it out but it doesnt move  :y

in fact theres not one piece of evidence to suggest it was a hoax that stands up to scrutiny, whereas the retroreflectors placed there as cem says to measure distance, is all the evidence you need, unless its a spectacularly shiny rock pointing straight at us....which seems unlikely  ;)

Except you could get those onto the surface without a man being present?  Not that I want to disagree with your position.

I personally don't think so.

If you look what cars were around at that time, could they really have built a rocket to do the job?
I remember in the early 80's the Spectrum Computer with a cassette player thing with it..... could that have done the desired complex things to send a rocket it the moon??

You forget rockets were being fired at London 25 years before the moon landings, and von Braun didn't have any computers figure it all out.  When you think about it, so much was achieved with nothing more than a pencil and a slide rule, and in some ways computers have made us lazy I think.

And the maths isn't *that* difficult.
Convoluted and time-consuming, yes, but nothing that couldn't be worked out in advance over the course of months.
The Earth and moon aren't suddenly going to change direction or distance - they keep plodding on at the same velocity - the only last minute calculations would be due to, eg, wind velocity as the apollo left the atmosphere.
Perhaps a couple of hundred miles of drift on a journey of 250,000 (each way).
A ZX Spectrum was MORE than powerful enough to calculate the entire journey - in real time - cos I wrote a programme to do so for my A level computing project.
