Whether the conspiracy was possible or if there was a motive for faking the landings, is a big part of the moon hoax.
Many conspiracy debunkers say that there was no reason for the US to fake the moon landings.
This is false, as at the time America was publicly losing the space race, as Russia had put the:
First man/woman in space.
First animal in space.
First three person mission in space.
And the first space station in orbit.
Even though these landmarks were achieved using crude methods, (i.e. putting a man on a rocket or adding a extra man on a two maned spaceship) to the public eye, it would seem as if the US were losing the space race. And ‘IF’, and only if the US couldn’t put a man on the moon in time, then the deadline that JFK set, and public pressure, could have forced the government to fake a moon landing.
So the US did have a motive for faking a moon landings, but how would NASA have carried out this enormous conspiracy?
There are two options: Wide spread and Minimal.
Wide Spread Conspiracy
In this hoax imagine that you are the contractors, NASA tells you about the moon landing conspiracy and pays you for your services that your not giving. You make announcement to the public telling them that your making rocket parts. (This is for the share holders.) Then at the first day of work you tell everybody in the factory that their not really making rocket parts, and that if they play this out they’ll be set for life. Employees that don’t comply get stern death threats from NASA officials.
The advantage to this is type of conspiracy is, no real equipment has to be made, except for a rocket to go up and a lander to come down.
The disadvantage to this is how many people are told about the conspiracy. At one point over half a million people were involved in the Apollo project at one time, and the conspiracy believers are saying that no one came forward even on their death beds (dead men/women can not be killed) and out of all of those people nobody saw a sense of duty to tell the people of their country the truth!!
Also were are all of the people who worked at Apollo and are now living it up with their “keep quiet” money (if you can find any millionaires, that worked at places like Rocketdyne, at the time that the rockets were being made (or not), they got their money from no apparent source, and their around about 50+ please notify me at moonhoax@gmail.com.)
Minimal Conspiracy
In this conspiracy only the top people of NASA are told. The good news about this, is that these people work for NASA, so the secret will die with them.
The bad news is the contractors will think that their making real rocket parts, and so they will make a flight worthy rocket, and even though the NASA quality control wont care if the rocket works, the contractors will, and will notice if their is something wrong with their merchandise, so NASA’s rockets would be flight worthy, and if so, there would be no reason to fake the moon landings.
But many conspirators say that NASA just told the people what to make, and they made it.
Think about it, NASA hire these people because they know there stuff. Even a junior engineer, wouldn’t need the full picture of the space craft designs to make their own bit of the rocket.
All this doesn’t make sense. Unless, it wasn’t the rockets themselves that were wrong, but something else that wouldn’t work, (i.e. they couldn’t stop radiation damage ((see above))) then the contractors could build a space worthy rocket to get to the moon, without them knowing that their was some unforeseen problem. BUT this would cost a lot of money for something that would never be used.
Keeping the Moon Conspiracy Alive
But there is one smudge, on the squeaky clean slate of NASA’s record. If we sent 6 manned spacecraft to the moon in ten years, then why in 30 years with so many technological advances haven’t we been back once? NASA says that there was a budget cut and this can be explained for the first 10 years after the Apollo missions, because of the build up of nuclear weapons (due to the cold war) would have cost money that could have been taken away from NASA.
But what about the other twenty years? Some people say that the risks are too high to justify another moon landing, but there will always be somebody ready and willing to risk it all, for the good of mankind and scientific advancement. A possibility is we still don’t have the technology to go to the moon, because we didn’t go to the moon in the first place.
Moon Conspiracy Conclusion
In my opinion, the Apollo moon landings were most probably real. There will always be an unease in my mind by the fact that we have never been back. But the conspiracy believers haven’t given ‘conclusive’ proof, that isn’t available without a price.

response about the satellite dishes…. if our sat dishes are receiving a signal from space, why not point them up, and why does the installer need a compass to point them a certain direction….
seriously.
OUR satellite dishes are NOT receiving signals from space. They are pointed towardother transmitters, usually placed on tall radio towers, that are receiving a signal from a very larger and powerful dish somewhere that us actually receiving a signal from a satellite. OUR dishes are only receiving a relayed message. They are NOWHERE near powerful enough to communicate with space satellites.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
The satellite dishes do pick up a signal directly from a satellite.
But the dish has to be pointed at a satellite that is in a geostationary orbit, meaning, it stays in the same place relative to the Earth. Quite often though, these satellites aren’t directly above the dish, hence the compass.
Oh and if the dishes were pointed at a transmitting tower it would completely defeat the point of having satellite tv and we might has well go back to traditional broadcast.
Basically Jim, stop trying to find a conspiracy theory in everything and just be happy you can sit and watch tv at night without the aliens taking you away.

The whole hoax theory makes me so mad! I can’t see how people can sit there and deny this thing ever happened. The rockets launched, we all saw that. There are photos and film of the Apollo spacecraft in orbit around the Moon. There is film of astronauts jumping up and down, clearly in incredibly low gravity. How could anyone have faked this sort of stuff with the photographic capabilities of 1969? The critics of the lunar surface photographs need to wake up and face the facts. The Apollo astronauts were on a different world -- things were bound to look different. The questionable shadows people keep banging on about were probably down to the fact that the Moon is drastically different in shape and surface area to Earth, hence shadows and horizons looked strange to our eyes. The Moon exists in unfamiliar physics. If the landings were faked then how do you explain the Apollo 13 disaster? Would NASA really have tried killing their own men? The whole Apollo saga was so full of surprises, you couldn’t make it up if you tried. If there was a conspiracy then someone involved with the agency at the time would have broken by now and come forward with the truth. With a powerful enough telescope, Apollo hardware is just about visible on the Moon. Rock samples from the Moon exist on Earth, and there are people still alive today who were lucky enough to walk on it. Personally, I don’t blame Buzz Aldrin for punching that paranoid conspiracy nut. If Aldrin hadn’t really been there, he would have shrugged it off! So please people, stop rubbishing the greatest achievement in human history, and look forward to when we return in 2020.

My question is who else has something to gain by making the US government look foolish by making claims that the moon landing was indeed a hoax?

When the U.S. government’s own evidence contradicts the government’s own claims, does that make you want to believe the government? (When it talks out of which side of its mouth?)

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
If the USA really went to the moon, all they have to do is shoot a sattelite up in space to the moon and take a picture from the flag en de lander wich would still be standing there on the surface. Not a really difficult thing to do wright? The still know precisely where they landed and took off.

How do you make conspirators keep secrets? Get the players involved with something highly illegal and/or embassing and blackmail them.

There have recently been as far as I remember from the news two projects to photograph and map the moon one from China (http://yolearnchinese.com/archives/chinese-moon-map-from-change-released) one from USA (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/clementine.html).
There is also google Maps: http://www.google.com/moon/
I think you will find that none of these images which are high resolution show ANY evidence that the USA landed on the moon. The images from google for example which come from NASA show an outline of the EVA but no disturbance of the surrounding area.
