US flag waving in the wind - there is no wind on the moon.
No blast crater from the moon lander's rocket.
No stars seen on the pictures.
Shadows from pictures are not parallel suggesting differing light sources
Footprints - footprints require moisture to make a print - there is no water on the surface of the moon.
Perfect pictures: unlikely as mounted on astronauts chests
Astranauts bouncing: if you speed up the film then this resembles earth gravity pull

Moonstruck
Ten years ago, Jay Windley was stuck on a bus with his fellow members of the Utah Symphony Chorus. They were headed from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole, Wyo., for a routine performance. But it wasn't long before Windley was annoyed (and not by his singing bus mates). He was perturbed by the man sitting next to him, the one insisting that American astronauts have never landed on the moon, despite the abundant photographic and physical evidence provided by the Apollo lunar landings—the first of which reached the moon 40 years ago this week. "He was spouting all this hoax nonsense," Windley says. "And he was clearly wrong, but I didn't have the research at that time to say that."
When Windley got back from his choral excursion, he founded clavius.org, a small Web site on which he has spent the last 10 years trying to prove the moon-landing deniers wrong. On the site, as well as on message boards that feature responses from astronomers, academics, and interested high-schoolers, Windley and his crew make their way through hoax myths, debunking them one by one. If deniers argue that the flag planted on the moon shouldn't be waving back and forth, then debunkers explain the theories of inertia as it applies to rippling fabric. Another argument—that the stars are missing from the backgrounds of the photographs—is easily explained: the exposure on the camera wasn't long enough to catch them. Sometimes, hoax believers argue that those astronauts who weren't ready to participate in the conspiracy were killed off. To that, the debunkers point out that NASA used a variety of consultants, contractors, and outside engineering firms, enough people that surely some word of a conspiracy would have leaked out, had there been one.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax Theories Still Alive
Apollo moon landing hoax theories are turning about 40 years old this year, along with the Apollo moon landing itself. But Apollo moon landing hoax claims still persist, and perhaps have gotten bigger than ever. The Apollo moon landing hoax conspiracy theory is one of the most notorious
Apollo Moon Landing Hoax Theories Still Alive out there, next to the countless JFK conspiracy theories and the 9/11 truth movement. As the Apollo moon landing celebrates its 40'th anniversary this summer, there are still pockets out there convinced that it's the anniversary of the Apollo moon landing hoax.

Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories and Whoopi Goldberg
The conspiracy theory that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax, fake in a studio somewhere, has its first Hollywood celebrity proponent. According to Debbie Schlussel, Whoopi Goldberg announced her doubts on July 20th airing of The View.
"But you knew that some celebrity would use the TV airwaves to put forth the loony conspiracy theories that it never happened. And, predictably, that loon is Whoopi Goldberg, resident Communist of ABC's "The View," who revealed herself a Moon Landing

Forty years after Apollo 11, Google Moon puts a conspiracy theory to rest
In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, the tech wunderkinds at Google yesterday unveiled their latest Web 2.0 offering, Google Moon, at Washington, DC's Newseum. The platform allows users to peruse the surface of the moon, much in the same way its sister program, Google Earth, lets a web savvy public peek in on everything from celebrity estates to their own backyard.
But apart from being just another flashy new application, Google Moon is quashing a rumor that has haunted the halls of NASA since 1969. Conspiracy theorists have spent the past four decades whispering that the landmark Apollo 11 landing was little more than a Hollywood-inspired hoax, staged on a backlot and intended to flaunt America's supposed aeronautical dominance over a much chagrined USSR.

NASA's crazy conspiracy theory finds few takers
Conspiracy theories couldn't get any more bizarre. NASA, the world's foremost space agency, which was till now a subject of many a crazy conspiracy theories regarding the authenticity of its Apollo 11 landing on moon, has now a spun out a loony conspiracy theory of its own to beat all other conspiracy theories by a wide margin.
Unable to explain the lost original videos of the live transmission of the Apollo's moon landing, NASA claimed that probably the tapes of the original videos were accidentally erased or possibly they were eaten by Pluto, the pet dog, who was employed at NASA during the early seventies to sniff out suspicious-looking packages sent to the agency by KGB, the Russian spy agency, to wreck its moon mission.

Nasa to take photos of moon landing sites
Suck it up, conspiracy theorists, because soon your cuckoo stories about the US simulating the Moon landings will be over forever. NASA has confirmed to Gizmodo that the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will take photos of all the Apollo landing sites:
Jesus Diaz: Would the LRO return images of the moon landings when it flies over them?
Grey Hautaluoma (NASA Headquarters, Office of Public Affairs): Yes, it will. We don't have a timeline yet for viewing the Apollo sites, but it will be in the near future.
There you have it. Soon we will have photos showing the remains of the Apollo Lunar Modules, also known as LEM (Lunar Excursion Module.) Built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering, the Lunar Module was 20.9-foot tall, with a 14 feet diameter and a landing gear span of 29.75 feet.
However, the Lunar Reconnoissance Orbiter will only be able to take photos of what is known as the Descent Stage, the bottom part of the LEM that housed the main propulsion system. This part was left on the Moon's surface, while the Ascent Stage launched after each mission to rendezvous with the Command Module orbiting around the Moon.
Other remains left on the Moon include the Lunar Roving Vehicles, used in the Apollo J-class missions: Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17. Since they are 3-meter long, the LRO will be able to distinguish them as well.
