The hundreds of hours of video, the thousands of pictures, and the hundreds of kilo's of rock and soil returned by the crews.
The first moon landing in 1969 was not faked. It was accomplished by the Apollo 11 mission, led by NASA, and astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. There is substantial evidence, including moon rocks and lunar module trajectories, to support the authenticity of the mission.
After the lunar landing of Apollo 11 in 1969, nine more lunar missions were planned. But in 1970, Apollo missions 18, 19, and 20 were cancelled. It is said that Apollo 18 was supposed land near the lunar south pole, which is shown in the movie.
Three, one each from Apollos 15, 16, and 17
The lunar rovers used in the Apollo missions, such as the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle, weighed about 460 pounds (210 kilograms).
The missions that landed on the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program were Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17. These missions successfully landed astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972.

Apollo missions 11, 14, and 15 all placed retro-reflectors on the lunar surface.

There were 17 Apollo missions, 11 of which were manned, and 6 of which landed on the lunar surface.

Three from the Apollo missions and two from the Soviet Unions Moon Walker program, so five total.
Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17 utilized lunar rovers on the moon. Each mission deployed a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) that allowed astronauts to travel greater distances and conduct more extensive exploration.
Lunar rover
The Apollo lunar rover, also known as the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), was a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used during the Apollo missions to the Moon. It allowed astronauts to explore the lunar surface over greater distances than they could on foot. The LRV was used on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions.
