While I personally believe that humans have actually stepped foot on the moon I am more than willing to provide a theoretical situation as to why America might have faked such a historic moment.

One of the most important aspects to remember would be the time period in which this occurred. The late 1960's and early 1970's was a time period in which the Cold War was reaching its climax. The Cuban Missile crisis had just been resolved as the world narrowly escaped a nuclear war. The Soviets were well ahead of America in the space race, having already put both man and machine into orbit years before we did. And among all of this John F. Kennedy had set forth a decree to reach the moon by the end of the decade (the '60s that is). So needless to say, if the Soviets had beaten America to the moon our government would've looked like a bunch of incompetent fools, which in the world of politics is a fate worse than death. Had we been unsuccessful in achieving the goal of winning the space race the natural choice would be to let the world's greatest fakers, Hollywood, give us a little boost if you will. Not only to save face but also as an act of global supremacy. America was looking weaker and weaker in the global community. And as history has shown so many times, weakness leads to collapse and inevitable downfall.

So, in short, the moon landing whether you believe it happened on the moon of a Hollywood set is, in my opinion, one of the key victories for America during the Cold War and that is why it would have been faked if necessary.
