Faking it would have been much more expensive and difficult than simply landing astronauts on the lunar surface. (less hush payments and risk of whistleblowers that way)

Oh really?! Where did you get that idea from?

I take it you have never watched any Sci-Fi movies or TV programmes right?

Take Star Trek. All you need is a painted backdrop, the correct lighting, some sand and maybe a a carpet or net with stones attached and vola you have your alien planet for the week. Also look at all the convincing looking spaceships that they can do.

Look at all the covincing alien planets and spaceships movies can do with their budgets and they have no where near the budget that NASA would have had to fake the Moon landings.

It is cheaper to fake than to actually go to the Moon.
