Yes. "Cat's out o' the bag". Man did NEVER walk on the Moon.
That's because NASA's six allegedly-manned and half-million
miles per round-trip(!) missions to the Moon (1969-72) were
at best unmanned flights in competition with the U.S.S.R.'s
contemporaneous Soviet Luna/Lunakhod unmanned Moon missions.

"They couldn't make it so they faked it." Thus, the "manned"
portions of the missions were actually filmed under the top-
secret, heavily-guarded domed soundstages in the high desert
of Area 51, NV, perhaps around Pine Gap, AUS and maybe other
remote and publicly-inaccessible locations around the world.

&Here it is 2006, and NASA *still* has enough headaches trying
to cope with the challenges (remember the Challenger shuttle?)
of low-earth orbit manned spacecraft. But things were "easier"
generations ago, back in the bygone era of sliderules, hippies
and flower children. Yupp! Back then, the laws of physics were
a lot easier to deal with than they are now and that's obvious.
Our technology was FAR more advanced back then, than it is now. :-D


Obviously...

The Moon is far beyond the reach of manned spacecraft, to wit:

To give you an idea of the scale involved, if each hard line
break in the chart below equals roughly 10,000 miles, to wit:

Thus the low-earth shuttle orbit would fit somewhere between
the center and baseline of the bottom 'x'--hardly visible at
all at this scale. And yet, that is the HIGHEST altitude any
manned flight has ever successfully sustained for any length
of time! But the "men to the moon" fairytale devotees don't
want to face up to these and other glaring facts in evidence:
