The fact is, we went for one reason. It wasn't science. It wasn't so that we would have Tang and microwave ovens as a side benefit...it was to beat the Russians and had we not succeeded or tried to fake it, they would have blown the hoax wide open.

A very common argument against the US actually landing on the moon is that the US Flag is waving on the moon, where there should be no atmosphere or winds. It was because of the moon's gravitational field that the flag was "waving."
The KGB did a great job of revealing secrets so I agree with Steve that if it indeed were a hoax it would've been expressed LOUDLY by the Soviets.
