This doesn't convince people who don't buy it, since they believe there is a global agreement to lie about the moon.

However, I think the best evidence is the laser reflectors on the moon. Those are impossible to fake.

The way I see it, the Apollo conspiracism is really the ultimate compliment to the astronauts involved, to the scientists and engineers who made Apollo possible, even to the governments and politicians who organized and paid for it all.

What Apollo achieved was so mind-bogglingly amazing that many people simply can't bring themselves to believe it. Their imaginations fail.
