Moon landing a hoax?

On February 15th Fox aired a television show over the controversy of landing on the moon. People argued on the show that NASA's technology in the 1960's wasn's up to date for a moon landing. In order for the United States to get ahead they filmed the moon landing in a movie studio. Lance Armstrong's footsteps, the moon buggy rides, etc were all fake. Some evidence says that the stars were missing in background of photos taken, the American flag was waving when there is no air on the moon, and that there was no blast crator under the rocket. It also stated that the heat and radiation was too much for what the astronauts were protected for. Area 51 was the area said to have the "moon landing" filmed.
In defense, NASA states that setting a camera with the proper exposure for a glaring spacesuit would naturally render background stars to faint to see. It was also stated that the astronauts were waving the American flag back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil. Many astronauts can talk of their experiance and they even brought back moon rocks.
So, do you think we landed on the moon or was it all a big joke?

The site www.clavius.org pretty much debunks all of the conspiracy theorists. You should check it out if you're interested in the subject.

Hmmmm.....I didn't realize that Lance Armstrong had been to the moon. I thought he just rode his bike around France every July.
