You haven't explained anything. The contractors had prime responsibility for designing and building the flight components. How do you fool all the engineers who designed them? Do you really think that all the engineers at North American building the CM were fooled? What about the engineers at Grummen who built the LM. These guys designed and built these components to work in space and accomplish the task of landing on the Moon. Your idea that only a small cabal perpetrated the hoax is ludicrous.

If you want to get some real education on how Apollo was accomplished, and not the baseless "what if" scenarios you keep positing, there are some very accessible books on the subject. Tom Kelly's book Moon Lander chronicles the development of the LM. Gene Kranz's book Failure is not an Option chronicles the development of Mission Control. Eldon C. Hall's book Journey to the Moon describes the development of the Apollo Guidance Computer.

All contrators and the majority of Nasa personel think the mission is going on. They are being Hoaxed as well. Information which is being shown on screens and instrument panels are being duplicated as if a simulation was occuring. There is a ship in space for the world to see , sending telemetry and Voice.
How do you fool the people who are pointing the antennae to receive data back on Earth. How do you fool all the systems engineers who are monitoring the spacecraft. They would know if the telemetry was fake. Even if you could fake the data, you would still need to do this for the multi-day nature of the voyage. Who created all of this simulated data? Was there a shadow organization of engineers creating fake data? Oh no, the conspiracy just got a whole lot bigger!

I only assert we did not step on the moon.
What is your basis for this assertion? What specifically prevented the U.S. from stepping foot on the Moon?
