A bunch of idoits who think 400,000 people with the program at the time lied.
The best known is a man named Bart Sibrel. All the things the hoax believers don't understand well enough to believe, are explained at the badastronomy.com site or the clavius.org site.The LRO and other space probes have sent back pictures of the Apollo sites, in some cases so clear that you can see the footpads of the LMs and the trails the astronauts left as they walked back and forth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings is an excellent place to learn why the hoaxers are wrong, too.
I imagine the men that walked on the moon would be awfully surprised. I also imagine that the American people would call for the disbanding of NASA and the US space program as a whole would be put out of commission for a number of years.
Most of us watched it on TV.
NASA has made all the Apollo information available.
Technically none yet since the Apollo moon landing was staged. just kidding, the answer is Richard Nixon who was president in 1969
Not really. Apollo 11 was the first actual landing attempt. Although Russia would have preferred to have beaten the US to the moon, they were never able to even lift a human beyond low Earth orbit. The US did send two manned mission into orbit around the moon before Apollo 11, but they were never scheduled for landing. A11 was the first true landing attempt by any space agency.
yes i can yes i can! Then why don't you? With no atmosphere on the moon, the US flag had to be stiffened with wires to keep the moon's meager gravity from dragging it down. On one of the lunar flag-plantings, the flag ripples as if caught by a breeze, indicating that the landing was actually filmed on a terrestrial movie set instead of the moon.
It proved that it was possible to make a soft landing on the moon.
The moon landing was real. That it was otherwise has been an urban legend for years.

Ask why the US faked the moon landings from 1969-1972.
If one thinks a Moon landing is the arrival of an intact (i.e not a crash into the Moon) unmanned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, then the Russians were the first to do this in 1966 However, if one thinks of a Moon landing as the arrival and return of a manned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface then the people of US were the first to do this in 1969. No other nation has yet made a manned moon landing.

The first moon landing was a stupendous technical achievement, and probably remains to this day the most remarkable accomplishment of the human race. It is so difficult to travel to the moon and return safely to Earth that it is quite amazing that we were able to do it. Aside from that, the moon landing was significant in a number of other ways. Because the US was able to do this when the USSR wasn't, the moon landing became part of the international public relations competition between the western world and the Soviet bloc. The Soviet Union, which always claimed to be superior to the decadent capitalist west in every way, obviously wasn't. The moon landing was also inspiring to a generation of scientists, who went on to create much more technology which has transformed the world very profoundly, since the moon landing in 1969, and which has made it possible for you & I to have this discussion on the internet.
That famous year was 1969.
The first US manned landing on the Moon was on July 20, 1969.
Yes, there were 6 US landings on the moon starting with the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
Cause the us was comprying with Russia at the time
