Proponents of the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations allege that the Apollo Moon Landings never took place, and were faked by NASA with possible CIA support. Enthusiasts of this theory claim that:

The Apollo video is exactly what it appears to be, that is, man on the Moon. The convincing evidence is in the dust, which is particularly apparent in the video of the Lunar Rover. If this video were shot on Earth there would be clouds of dust thrown into the atmosphere by the Rover's wheels... there is no evidence of this. The dust falls immediately back to the surface as it would in an airless environment.

Communist China to map "every inch" of Moon’s surface - But will it find Apollo landers? China, which plans to launch a lunar orbiter called "Chang'e One" in the second half of 2007 to take 3D images, would aim to land an unmanned vehicle on its surface by 2010, official news portal Chinanews.com quoted Ouyang Ziyuan as saying. "Currently, our country's lunar exploration programme is divided into three phases – orbiting the Moon, landing on the Moon and returning back to Earth," Ouyang said. The second phase would see an unmanned craft land on the Moon to "meticulously" survey a certain area, and the third phase would aim to "bring samples back to earth", he added. China's space exploration programme has come far since late leader Mao Zedong lamented that China could not even launch a potato into space. 10 Aug 2007

Parts of Surveyor 3, which landed on the Moon in April 1967, were brought back to Earth by Apollo 12. .[12] These samples were determined to have been exposed to lunar conditions. [9]

An example of such an exchange is the evidence for the landing of the Apollo 11, Apollo 14, and Apollo 15 retroreflector arrays on the Moon. Scientists have reflected lasers off these to measure the distance between Earth and the Moon (see Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment).[25] Hoax proponents such as Marcus Allen say that because the Russians placed reflectors on the Moon using robotic missions,[26] the presence of similar reflectors should be explained by, for example, a secret American robotic mission with an express aim to place retroreflectors on the Moon to provide misleading evidence and corroborate that part of the Apollo missions.[23][27]
