What I find odd is that the majority of people that I know who claim a hoax only question the landing (though I've heard the claim about the Van Allen belts).
I think that if NASA can design a huge (Saturn V - V is for "Very big") rocket with slide rules and electronics that we wouldn't now put in a dishwasher, then send 3 men on a mostly un-powered 1,500,000+ km journey and retrieve them with an accurate re-entry that doesn't cook them or bounce them into deep space ... if you can do all that then a retro-rocket landing with the moon's 1/6 Earth gravity isn't so hard -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_L...arcade_game%29
But we can't see the lunar modules on the moon from Earth because it's a really long way away. The Hubble is one of the best optical telescopes available and I did some googling and found this: http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servl...or-Possible-Mo
On the left it says (my emphasis):
Of course, this is from NASA who faked the whole thing as a cover for the budget being blown at the time on the aliens in Area 51 and are faking it this time to hide the true cost of the US government's "quantititatative easing one out" programme."These Hubble data illustrate the high-resolution resolving power of the Advanced Camera for Surveys and display features smaller than a soccer field from low-Earth orbit some 248,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) distant."
But even if you doubt NASA, you can't doubt Douglas Adams:
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
