I get how some conspiracy theorists believe the Apollo missions were a hoax. Note: I get how they could believe it...not that I believe them myself.
But this raises the loony level to a who 'nother dimension...

I haven't yet watched the full video but it starts with the O'Neill 12 mile bridge on the Moon. That bridge did not disappera, it wasn't there at all in the first place. It was simply an optical illusion that can be seen but only in rear conditions, butit is still just an illusion a bit like the famous face on Mars. On the left how the "face" thing started, on theright a higher res photo taken 20 years of the same structure the problem with these sort of conspiracies is that believers don't bother reserching each claim one by one, they just nod yes in agreement convincing themselves that it is real. Anyway... next the voiceover mentions the Chronological Catalog of Reported Lunar Events published by NASA. That book (1968) lists reports of "unusual" events witnessed by more then 300 people over a couple of centuries or so, however does not add any credibility to those reports. Well, I could list several thousands of people that believe the Earth is flat and, according to them, they have proof of it. Next we have the structures and even cities on the other side of the moon. Fact is that 24 different people have seen with their own eyes on multiple orbits the other side. Photos have been taken by Nasa as well as the Soviets (they did it first...) and the Chinese. There is a Chinese satelite going around it right now. No reports of cities as far as I know. The next bit is the hollow moon. Yes, 24 miles under the surface there is an entire civilisation livingthere....

What's funny about this is that it would be far more difficult to create the moon as an engineered project than just to make it out of rock.
Occam's Razor. The simplest solutions is always the most likely.

An acquaintance of mine quit driving truck for a living because he said he was fed up with the mechanics not fixing things.
THEREFORE, we never traveled to the moon for the simple reason that in order to get there, the astronauts would have had to stop for an engine overhaul half-way there.
I don't know what he was worried about. There have got to be a thousand repair shops inside the hollow moon.

Ack. I got to 5:30 in and had to stop. They keep talking about how unique the tidal lock is. Mercury is tidal locked to the sun so it isn't that rare. We have another example right in own solar system. Also the backside of the moon isn't hidden. It has been mapped by probes and I believe that China recently sent a lander to the far side.

i wish my father was still alive. He could definitely talk to those idiots. Dad was part of the teams that drew up the topo maps for the moon landings. They used the photos transmitted by the Explorer and Discovery probes that took high speed photos until they crashed into the moon. Now if I only still had one of those maps he brought home...............

Here are a few moon maps:
Here is a list of lunar probes. There are a lot:
If there is anything going on on the far side it would have to be hidden as well.
This is serious science.

Take the path closer to the edge, especially if less traveled

Aldrin sacrificed a lot to help humanity achieve a great feat. I am sure there were missed birthdays, anniversaries, graduations etc from the training and preparation required. He could have easily died trying. Just me personally I get mad about this because it is one of the great achievements of human kind. For him it must be a really sore topic. I'm glad the police just let him go with no charges.

It's a darn shame Elvis has to wear a cow head just to venture out into public once in a while.

I have just seen a recent NASA photo of Ganymade so this thread (shallow craters on our Moon...) came to mind :
