Is the moon landing a hoax?

Hundreds of thousands of people believe that the government has many hoax's or conspiracy theories to cover up our lunar landing expeditions. One is that our government fabricated the whole thing at area 51, a supposedly top secret government facility that holds valuable classified american information. One informality in the lunar landings is that there is never a crater under the spacecraft or that in the background there are no stars giving the possibly that it has been staged on a movie set. The only fact we know is that America did ascend into space but the landing is too vague to know for sure that it did happen. During the time of the lunar landing america was in a space war with U.S.S.R. believing that the first one to land on the moon was the world superpower. With most of American space expeditions failing and the Russians launching a satellite before us caused concern into the american public. Feeling pressured to surpass the russians, the american government felt the need to fabricate a moon landing and end the space race with the americans with the victory. The most unrealistic part of the whole landing was that the american flag was waiving around in space where air does not exist and wind doesn't happen.
