Standard conspiracy theorist tactic. When unable to conclude one argument in your favour, churn out some more to keep your opponent snowed under trying to answer all your arguments at once.
I won't do it. Why don't you show us what you did to demonstrate that what you claimed was a spotlight rig in one of the first sets of pictures was indeed a spotlight rig, and why you dismiss the alternative offered?

"It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the Earth to the Moon, but to do this we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. Calculations have been carefully worked out on the type of vehicle we would need for the non-stop flight from the Earth to the Moon and to return. The figures speak for themselves: Three rockets would be necessary, each rocket ship would be taller than the Empire State building (1250 feet) and weigh about 10 times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons."[/i] -Werhner von Braun

I will grant this one simple response. This was written in 1955 assuming one huge rocket capable of going directly from launch to the Moon and back in one piece. This was
never the planned route once the Apollo program actually got started.
