Anytime a hoaxer harps on about the cost of space programs and how the money should be better spent; I immediately dismiss anything else they have to say, for in that first premise lies all the evidence I need that the person has no clue what they are talking about.
The video is long winded and often rambles on tangents that do nothing to support the claim of hoax.
Never before in all of recorded aviation has a flying machine worked on its first attempt
And neither did any of the apollo program equipment, that's why there was a system of testing performed on earth, this is just another claim from ignorance.
This two part video (1,2) makes a much better refutation of this bunkum than I have the will to commit time to.
The old faked lighting and shadows argument is wrong, false and full of more wishful thinking.
It is my job to create images that convince the general public that a fictional image, or video is real. I work in VFX creating these fictions and I know for a fact that the claims dealing with the imagery being fabricated are, simply, full of shit.
I'm all for assessing the claim the moon landing as being faked. There are plenty of very good reasons the US would have to perpetuate a lie of such magnitude. Yet every hoaxer video I see trots out the same tired, uninformed, ignorant and ultimately, illiterate bullshit.
I know the US is capable of wide scale conspiracy to deceive (bay of pigs, gulf of tonkin, the entire NSA, etc etc). I don't doubt it possible to create a system of conspiracy to hoax a moon landing, but this video presents nothing to support the claim.
I agree completely, I don't believe the moon landing is fake myself but I found this video quite fun to watch. I thought it to be suiting for the conspiracy Subverse.

In the context of being fun to watch sure, it's a laugh riot.
But conspiracy does not automatically equal batshit insanity with no reasoning or rational thought.
Conspiracy just means a group of people agreeing to do a thing as a group.
It's unfortunate that the term has been tainted in the general mindset by videos like this. It's up there with ancient aliens.
