Why do some people believe the Apollo lunar landings were a hoax?

For whatever reasons, some people cannot accept that current human technology could overcome the substantial obstacles to such a difficult achievement. This ignores the concurrent developments in aviation, satellite, and materials that occurred in the second half of the 20th Century. (21st century advancements in digital special effects now enable fictional recreations nearly comparable to the visual records of the period.)
For some, it is the extension of denying anything historical because they did not witness or take part in it.

How many US spaceships landed on the moon?
If you mean manned landings, there have been six Apollo landings. Only Apollo has landed people on the moon. If you include unmanned probes there were three Ranger probes and five Surveyor probes. So the US has landed a total of 14 spacecraft on the moon. The Soviet Union put nine Luna probes on the moon, making a total of 23 Earth origin spacecraft to land on the moon.
Who where the first people to walk on the moon in what year?
The Apollo 11 mission. Neil Armstrong, 10:56 pm EDT, July 20th 1969. (2:56 UTC July 21, 1969). Buzz Aldrin followed him onto the surface about 15 minutes later. Among other independent evidence suggesting that the Apollo 11 moon landings weren't a hoax, in July of 2009 the LROC Science Operations Center at Arizona State University positively identified Apollo 11 and the trails of footprints left by these two men in images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Which spaceship was used by the astronauts to land on the moon?
Apollo was the name of all the lunar missions. The various craft that went were numbered. 6 missions went to the moon and landed on it, which were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Each lunar mission spacecraft consisted of two parts, a command module and a lunar module. The command module got people to the moon and orbited around it and got them back to Earth. The lunar module was the part that actually landed on the moon. The 6 lunar modules that landed on the moon were: Eagle Intrepid Antares Falcon Orion Challenger
How many lunar missions have failed?
I'm not sure what you are asking. The only manned lunar mission that failed was Apollo 13. For why that mission failed visit the related link below.
What was the purpose of the Apollo program?
The purpose was to put man on the moon and return him and the spacecraft safely. But they also wanted to establish new technology and develop man's abillity to work in a lunar enviorment. The Apollo program is the most remembered and most significant of all the programs. Sincerely, Phantomfreak6377

How did Apollo landings on the moon help scientists determine the age of the moon?
They brought back samples of lunar rocks so the scientist's could determine the age of the moon.
How did Armstrong deploy the camera to film moon landing?
None of the Apollo landings was photographed. Cameras placed on the lunar surface by the landing parties were however able to photograph the take-offs of the LEM at the conclusion of each lunar excursion.
