    The single biggest piece of evidence that Apollo 11 landed on the moon is really simple. The Soviet Union accepted it.

    There is a zero percent chance they would be in on that conspiracy. They had every reason in the world to expose that as a lie. But they didn’t, because it happened.

        There is no telescope on Earth that has the resolution to visually track the Apollo missions. It’s just a physical impossibility at the distances involved. Only when NASA launched the LRO, there finally was an imaging system that could take pictures of the moon (from a low lunar orbit) of a resolution sufficient to actually see anything that’s left there from the Apollo missions.

        Radars and signals intelligence could and be used to keep track of the missions, though.
