(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)

We were in the middle of a cold war with the soviets back in the 1960s. Proving the moon landing was fake would have been the propaganda coup of the century for them. What possible reason would they have to stay quiet about that?

That's always been my number one reason why the moon landing was definitely not faked. The Soviets never caught wind of it between 1969 and 1992? Come on.

Plus we left retroreflectors on the moon, that we can shoot laser beams at and get a return bean back.

its used to measure the drift of the moon away from earth.

the lunar reoglith is not reflective enough to bounce a signal back (and its been tested to death)

We know it reflects light, so that just tells me we haven't used a big enough laser yet :p
