Was the moon landing of Apollo 11 fake?

Proof of the moon landing in 1969 has amazed us all. The atmosphere in space is completely different from on Earth. For instance, we know that in space there is no wind. So why did the American flag wave when it was placed in the ground of the moon? People believe that this was all a set up, especially as the only light source in space is the sun. This begs the question: why was there so much light coming from different angles and sides? The Apollo 11 team claim that they did not bring any of their own lights to the moon. So why did this happen?

We will be the ones to prove that the moon landing of Apollo 11 was fake. Reports have been made that there is a particular rock that has a clear carving on it. The letter ‘C’ is visibly marked. On the bottom left of the rock you can see the marking.

This could be real.

On the other hand, the report that the American flag ‘flapped’ is something that should've been expected. How can this be when there is no air in Space. Well, there is a momentum which meant that as they were putting it in place it obviously would've moved slightly and it also has a pole to keep it straight otherwise it would've simply hung down.

Many people think that the one step for man, one giant leap on mankind was in fact one small lie for man, one giant fraud on mankind! There is more proven evidence that it was fake rather than real. The reason for this is because many people have discovered evidence that it was fake and whenever there needs to be a counterargument there aren't enough persuasive points to change the idea of Apollo 11 being a lie. Alternately, the idea of Apollo 11 being a true event does have some defensive points. The fact that it was a set up and that there were studio lights could also be almost a rumour. The reason for the bright lights could possibly be the reflections against either the space helmet or possibly even the moon’s surface. Therefore the story that the moon landing in 1969 was fake is still left as an unsolved mystery. Do you think the moon landing was false?
