A few years ago, I have been on vacation on Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands. I'm 100% sure the moon landing has been filmed there.

Oh, shit. Well, this changes everything.

I'm sorry, but there is no doubt.

Well, the Appollo 11 mission was born of the space-race, which kicked off when Russia launched Sputnik. For the next decade, the USSR and the USA kept trying to outdo each other's latest milestone with regard to space--first chimp in space, first man in space, first man in orbit, etc. Going to the moon was the ultimate milestone and the one in which the US felt it could demonstrate it's astrophysical superiority once and for all. I just think there was too much pressure (and scrutiny) to succeed in this to allow a hoax of such magnitude to have been pulled off.

I don't have any evidence, per se. I just feel that the reality of an actual moon landing is more plausible than faking the whole event.

If anyone does prove it didn't happen, I'd be disappointed on one level. On another level, I'd probably be happy because it would likely ignite a new race to the moon.

I was about to say that looks an awful lot like parts of Hawaii...then I saw the name of the picture and realized why.

Seen one lava field, you've seen 'em all! (not true at all, but I felt like saying it..)

Could a simular hoax be pulled of with a mission to Mars considering the special effects available?

The reason I find it questionable is found in the details. Previous landing before men actually stepped onto the planet show "footprints" of the base of the ship. After two years, supposedly, there was no sign of disturbance from dust or material that constantly batters the moons surface.
Not to mention one piece of evidence that, unfortunately, I can not share with you.
I'm sorry but I must come to terms with leaving you unaware of the truth, for this I will always be regretful.
Forgive me.

Also, you ever think of the "not natural progression" of the space program. I mean, we get to the moon! WOW. and then its like "hey! Ever seen reality tv" It almost seems like we're trying to catch up to what we "acheived" in the past. Hell, we're still blowing up on take-offs and re-entries.

If the evidence of going to mars was based purely on video, than yes. However, this is not the case. Besides special effects, you'd need to fake scientific data well enough to fool any scientist that reviews it. You'd also need to fool everyone involved in the project.
You mean to say that there were footprints on the ground before astronauts set foot on it? Can you provide a picture, please? Preferably with the NASA reference number still stamped on it, so I can find exactly when and where the picture was taken on the mission?
I'm a little unclear what you mean here. After two years?
Well, that makes it awfully hard for me to refute it, doesn't it?

I'm not sure how any of this is proof that we didn't land on the moon. The aging space shuttle fleet has very little to do with getting to the moon and back.

Why, yes. Yes it does.

Fact is, if there was ever any hard proof we wouldn't be goofing off now. There never will be any unless someone just fesses up, and even then people won't be apt to believe it. We see that everyday-weapons of mass destruction, global warming, pro wrestling.
But if it is a fake, then we all deserve to be the fools that we are with no protest. I just smell the faintest fish, and fish kaint live on the moon, so something is ever so slightly amiss. In my opinion (which counts for squat.
