"So the Apollo 11 launch was just a stunt so the people know, (or at least thought) that they were heading towards the moon. "

But you didn't read the rest of my post about the tracking, the observations and the TLI (trans lunar injection) burn. Some stunt!

By the way, what is the nature of your school project? Science, political science or philosophy? It will make a big difference in how you might approach the subject of Apollo.

"Also someone told me that alot of countries have been to the moon but they coun't of otherwise we would have proof about Apollo 11 right?"

Well, even if this were true, the moon is still a pretty big place. Another country going there, unless they were out to prove Apollo was faked, likely would choose different landing sites. You have to wonder, though why any country that got to the moon would keep it a secret. That should be your first clue that only the USA has put men there and brought them back.
