Those who think it was a hoax can abide by their opinions but, it happened. I witnessed the whole thing on TV, back when TV was honest in its reporting.
Mister Collins makes a good case regarding the tech available at that time and he's right. There is no way any of it could have been faked. The first television camera they set up on the moon was burned out when they inadvertently turned it toward the sun. Good thing there was a backup available or we wouldn't have witnessed anything other than astronaut home movies upon their return. That would have given the hoaxsayers plenty of ammo.
And of course we couldn't see any stars in the video feed. Can we see the moon during the day here on Earth, except during certain phases? Can we see stars during the day? The moon is always up there every day, as are the stars. They just get washed out by intense sunlight. Sunlight on the moon is much much brighter due to lack of atmo. Earth shows up in the lunar sky because it's a very brightly reflective planet.
