Androids that age like human beings?

Buzz Aldrin don't play that.

...The second lunar landing on November 19 was an exercise in precision targeting, which would be needed for future Apollo missions. Most of the descent was automatic, with manual control assumed by Conrad during the final few hundred feet of descent. Unlike Apollo 11, where Neil Armstrong had to use the manual control to direct his lander downrange of the computer's target which was strewn with boulders, Apollo 12 succeeded in landing at its intended target - within walking distance of the Surveyor 3 probe, which had landed on the Moon in April 1967. This was the first — and, to date, only — occasion in which humans have "caught up" to a probe sent to land on another world.

Conrad actually landed Intrepid 580 feet (175 m) short of "Pete's Parking Lot", because it looked rougher during final approach than anticipated, and was a little under 1,180 feet (360 m) from Surveyor 3, a distance that was chosen to eliminate the possibility of lunar dust (being kicked up by Intrepid's descent engine during landing) from covering Surveyor 3. But the actual touchdown point — approximately 600 feet (185 m) from Surveyor 3 — did cause high velocity sandblasting of the probe. It was later determined that the sandblasting removed more dust than it delivered onto the Surveyor, because the probe was covered by a thin layer that gave it a tan hue as observed by the astronauts, and every portion of the surface exposed to the direct sandblasting was lightened back toward the original white color through the removal of lunar dust...

...Apollo 12 successfully landed within walking distance of the Surveyor 3 probe. Conrad and Bean removed pieces of the probe to be taken back to Earth for analysis. It is claimed that the common bacterium Streptococcus mitis was found to have accidentally contaminated the spacecraft's camera prior to launch and survived dormant in this harsh environment for two and a half years. However, this finding has since been disputed: see Reports of Streptococcus mitis on the Moon...

Obviously, they created one to look like the real Dr. Aldrin, and swapped the human back in after the flight. Why else would they keep the crew in a quarantine trailer? Either that, or they take him in every few years for cleaning and that's when they "age" him to keep up the hoax.

See, that's just more proof. A real 72 year old man doesn't go around punching people. It's obviously a robot.

Nah, a real robot doesn't have a temper to loose like that. And i've met a few 72 year olds that were quite feisty.

Yes, Surveyor was unmanned, but didn't carry a reflector.
The Russians and the French actually placed reflectors on the moon with unmanned landers, after the U.S. was there. The problem is, that they could not be placed with the care a human could provide and return a much weaker single.
Some have even bounced off the Russian lander, but again the single is very weak.
But I guess people will believe what they want to believe.
Some even think the Secret Service, the FBI, the CIA, and LBJ were all involved in JFK's murder.

Must have been programmed to act that way.

Well, that's the official story, anyway.

I see, now. You must be in on it, too. How much are they paying y'all to hush it up?!?

Now why would the Roswell Greys get them folks involved?
(Although, one of the guys I've seen had "Official Alien Contact Team" on his badge...)

Only a robot would say that. When did they get to you man?
