On moon landing hoax theories, there are no open posibilities, because it is a past event, and it has been proven to be 100% real.

I disagree. The evidence we have now is entirely consistent with the Moon landings being real, and all the proposals for fakery that we've seen so far fail quickly under examination. But we cannot say it is 100% impossible for the Moon landings to have been faked. Just as with alien life, we cannot know what the future holds. It is highly improbable in my opinion that evidence will appear that shows a hoax hypothesis to be more likely to explain the Apollo evidence than genuine missions; but that's what we said about future alien contact explaining past UFO sightings.

Admittedly we're dealing with very small, subjective impressions of probability. So it's probably not helpful to quibble over which one is more than the other.
