So you're saying that the Soviet Union is in on the conspiracy, yes? The Soviet Union Space Program, arch-enemy of NASA, is actually part of the conspiracy?
Why do I say this? It's because the Soviets actually made several unmanned sample-return missions in the 1970's:
Luna 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luna 20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luna 24 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Take note that there were NO other umanned sample return missions from the moon, even the US didn't have one.
And when the Soviet communists analyzed their lunar soil samples taken from the Luna missions, they found out that these samples proved to be identical to samples they requested from the NASA laboratories for collaborative scientific work. Now the soil samples given by NASA to the Soviets can't obviously be faked, otherwise the Soviets could have easily detected the fakery and since they were RIVALS, the Soviet Union could have announced to the world that NASA indeed fake the manned lunar landings. But they DIDN'T, because they knew that the soil taken back by the Apollo astronauts were indeed authentic, and cannot have come from Antarctica (oxygen isotopes in lunar rocks are different when exposed to Earth's atmosphere).
So now I believe Sour Doctor is implying, that these well known ENEMIES (Capitalist and Communist), who were the ones fighting the cold war (which was the reason why they were having the "moon race" in the first place) are in fact, in conspiracy. Ridiculous.
ADDENDUM:
Another good question is, does this so-called conspiracy still exists nowadays in the modern-day NASA? This is a good question because some might think, basin sa una ra tong conspiracy, during the Apollo missions, basin karon since mga batan-on naman ang mga tawo sa NASA, basin dili na ni sila mga co-conspirators...
...now we go to the LROC issue:
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera
Launched on 18 June 2009, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon on a low 50 km polar mapping orbit.
Now the interesting thing is, LROC has been taking shots of the surface of the moon in magnificent detail, such as this:
Oblique view of portion of Tycho Crater:
So it also has the ability to find any man-made objects that landed on the moon. Like the Soviet Luna 20 pod:
Soviet Union Lunar Sample Return Missions - LROC News System
What about the Apollo missions? Are there any signs that it really landed where it should have? YES:
Exploring the Apollo 17 Site - LROC News System
In the center of that image is the descent stage of the Apollo 17 LM "Challenger". You can even detect signs that the regolith (lunar soil) around the site has been disturbed (by human activity, i.e. footmarks and rover tracks).
Sigh, but of course,
Soul_doctor and
THE_SKULLS has an easy explanation--the entire LROC team is IN on the conspiracy--until this day, 42 years after the first Apollo landing, NASA employees are still conspiring, and let me predict, that the photo I posted above, they will claim is only a Photoshop image (and they will even claim it WITHOUT producing ANY proof why they believe it's faked, or if they provide any reasons at all, the reasoning will be skewed and forced just to confirm with their belief that the above-photo is a fake, or a product of fiction). Predictable kaayo ang mga conspiracy theorists.
