Was the 1969 Moon Landing Real or Fake?

Let me say for myself first, I was working at GE and came home to watch the landing, the thing that sticks in my mind the most, aside from Walter (the most trusted man in America) Cronkite's commentary is that there were dozens if not hundreds of simulations, during all the times the astronauts "weren't available" for whatever reason. Based on what I saw and remember then, it would be easy to think that it was all fake, that the landing never happened, just like in the movie Capricorn One. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist that's just what I believe, have always believed, that it was all simulations and no trip to the moon. I'm not alone by a long shot.
But to be fair, others, many others, believe in the reality of the moon landing. I've been told by people I've talked to that there are too many people involved to keep a secret that big. Also, that there are still astronauts alive who can testify to the reality.
Of course, secrets can be kept, and people can lie, if the reason is good enough. Another point is that more than 800 lbs of moon rocks were brought back, which may be true, but maybe not, after all one rock looks pretty much the same as another to most of us.
Here is a link to an excellent article refuting the conspiracy theory, it's too long to include here. I not as sure after reading it that it was faked, but still not convinced that it wasn't. After all anyone capable of committing a fraud on this scale, would surely be capable of refuting criticism, right? Read that article and the ones below it saying  the moon landings are fake, and judge for yourself.

Death Visits Madison Wisconsin In The Guise Of Madison Police Officer Stephen Heimsness

I found out about this murder by being emailed a petition circulated by Nathan and Amelia Royko Maurer

of Madison, WI, who were friends of the murdered man Paulie Heenan.

There it is, once again a murderous cop who has a history of felonious behavior, felonious that is if he, or she, were anyone without that magical badge. As it is though, that magical badge keeps the cop from being punished even after committing a murder. Of course in this case there was an accessory before the fact in the person of the neighbor Megan O'Malley, who called the police and thereby caused the death of an innocent unarmed man, and almost caused the death of her own husband by her naive behaviour.

It'd be one thing if this was truly an aberration, but this cop Heimsness has a history of police abuse, and in spite of this history the Chief of Police and the District Attorney decided to hold Heimsness harmless in the commission of what for anyone else, without the aforementioned magical badge, would have been murder.

 

Here is an article in a newspaper about this crime, although to some it wasn't a crime, it depends whether or not you're a cop/DA or not, I guess. The article comes down on the side of the cop but what else would you expect? I had posted the article here as being slanted but somewhat informative, but upon being "asked politely" by Jason Joyce, (whose comment is attached), to remove it and substitute a link and short summary, I have, although forgoing the summary, unless you'd consider the first two sentences of this paragraph it, but here is the link.

I also had included the petition, but removed it also, since contacted by Mr Joyce, because I'm feeling annoyed and petty, but rather than delete the whole post I left the links above. Annoyed or not I think the acknowledgement of another murder by cop is still important, or should be, no matter how it's done, contrary to what Mr. Joyce apparently feels.
