So here is what i understand. There are people in the world who are unwilling to believe that NASA put men on the moon, yet they have no trouble believing in one supreme being that created the entire universe. And to be brutally fair, i can tell you which is more probable.
So why do people insist on skepticising the moon landings? Does someone just have it in for America? Sorry, stupid question. But if we look at everything past face value, we see more things than we usually do. Imagine looking at an attractive person wearing revealing clothing. You instinctively feel attracted to said person through their looks or bodies, and never stop to think if the person could be a complete cock.
It's the same when it comes to looking at the facts behind the moon landings; for many people it looks like some unachievable feat for its time; lanching a rocket into space, then landing a man on the moon? Impossible.
But look at it closer.
We think they couldn't have put a man on the moon, because how could they have the technology to do it around that time? But just because we didn't happen to have that technology at that time doesn't mean NASA didn't. You don't see Joe Public flying around in jet-propelled rockets, yet NASA send them into space all the time, so how do we know they didn't have the technology to pull it off back then if they never made their advances public? They wern't going to let Vlad over in Russia catch wind of their plans, were they?
I've also heard it said that there was around a 0.0001% chance of the astronauts survuiving the trip. There is something i want to state here. Are the scientists/mathematicians at NASA just a bunch of idiots, arsing about for a bit of free coffee? Of course not. They spend hours on end calculating precise measurements, probably spending weeks on hinges for a door on the rocket. They will have anticipated these numbers easily; there's a reason they were given the jobs.
And then come the theories put forward to disprove evidence of the moon landings. The theories are based on physics spouted from people who know more about wiping their own asses than physics, and are easily debunked.
Where the moon landings are concerned, few people take the time to view the complete facts surrounding them before making assumptions based on what is apparently classed as common sense.
And as a good friend once said, common sense is so rare it's a god damn super power.

I'm intrigued too by all those claiming no one ever set foot on the Moon - what's so difficult in believing this? Must be because of all the 'trendy' conspiracy theories. Yes good people, there's a sniper watching you right now -_-
