If you had said anything beyond parroting the general handwaving claims of conspiracy theory books, videos, and web sites, then your dismissal might mean something.

You say the technology didn't exist in the 1960s to go to the Moon. Yet you seem wholly ignorant that vast amounts of records have survived of the development, testing, and deployment of that technology; and that such material is routinely consulted by modern engineers who are well equipped and well motivated to discover any shortcoming or falsehood in it.

Sorry, but in light of the universal acceptance in the world engineering community of the validity of Apollo, it is your claim that stands as unsupported and unconvincing. Please explain what exactly about going to the Moon was unattainable in the 1960s and 1970s.

...what are merely your personal interpretations masquerading as general factual information.

As opposed to your personal interpretations masquerading as factual information?

How old are you? Were you practicing engineering in the 1960s? Do you have any training or experience in aerospace engineering? You are simply denying a huge volume of evidence, of whose existence I suspect you are largely unaware.
