Conspiracy theory buffs have to either continually expand the web or else they have to be ignorant on purpose. Either half the world is in on the joke or these conspiracies aren't true. I know which side I'm on.
So I've been thinking of illustrations suitable to show your logical deficiencies.
You have the wrong model for what you imagine to be a "conspiracy", so your thinking is really messed up.
You're a military man, you seem to be thinking in strict military logic of organization. Actually, "conspiracies" are commonplaces of human collective actions, and usually they are not monolithic, but acquire incidental support from other like-minded or like-interested folks who want to work for the common good, of themselves sometimes, but sometimes in idealistic terms, for the good of the world.
A traditional Marxist simply following the advices of early Marxist thinkers, would consider it good and necessary for the world to benefit from some covert little action cells here and there, all functioning in pretty complete isolation from the others.
I have no doubt that the Van Allen Radiation belts have been in place since before Marx, or even the British Empire. I understand we have actual moon rocks collected from sites on the surface of the moon. It wouldn't take a human to go there to get them, though.
Some of the Apollo TV footage seems to have some questionable aspects. Would be answered if the footage were filmed in studio, on earth, with appropriate stage backdrops and sand and rocks, for example.
Using some of that for the public TV while the real mission actually did go there, collect rocks or stuff, and come back is just one of many possible explanations, and for reasons like I said above.
One very universal facet of all public opinion "psy-op" efforts is called "compartmentalization". The pieces are separated, isolated, and very few people can make all the connections. As a military man, you should apprehend such possibilities as the military uses this strategy in everything it does. You follow your orders, you really don't know much else.
Personally, I doubt anyone has been killed over the Apollo "conspiracy". I think all those folks in Mission Control, all in the same building, the same room full of monitors, would suggest it was such a coordinated and open effort, a lot of people knew a lot about what others were doing and why.
But as a sort of stubborn free thinker, when folks come out with impossible film clips released from NASA files. . . . well, what the hell do I know anyway?
I presume the moon is quite a dusty surface, and I know the "lunology", so to speak, includes a somewhat different mineral composition with a tilt toward elements lighter that the earth average. . . lots of titanium, not so much iron, for example. Probably no gold to speak of, for example. I would expect a huge cloud of dust to be kicked up as the landing module settled down, and I can't explain why there was none evident in the film footage. Lunar gravity is 1/6 that of the Earth's, so even without an atmosphere to speak of, it probably would have risen to some height and taken a while to settle.
So I have to give one to the lunatics with the crazy illogical studio footage.
And, really, there is still a serious effort to design some capsules capable of carrying humans through that high-velocity positively-charged particle cloud called the Van Allen Belt. The problem hasn't been solved yet.
