God, you're dense. You like to write, but not to read. Read the previous answers to your questions. The explanations are there. Go to www.badastronomy.com or Google "apollo hoax" and you'll get myriad answers to your confusion on the issue. I think, however, that you will not do so because you do not like to discuss, you just like to argue. You go on and on about how no one can answer your questions and yet they have been answered in detail here and on other websites. What is your point? You've been answered with facts and checkable calculations, but you choose to ignore everything except what you espouse. This whole hoax theory is pretty hysterical, actually. Think about it, the government can't cover up the Watergate scandal, can't cover up the fact the President received oral pleasure in the oval office and, yet, it can cover up something much more complex involving many more people. Right!
