Until you start looking at evidence you can publicly verify and start analyzing what it would cost to build what people and scientists actually observed, and the downside risks of the same. Really, what would be the worst-case downside for a Saturn 1B or Saturn V first stage? (Answer: a huge, spectacular explosion in front of thousands.) If you're trying to mitigate the costs and risk of failure with a hoax, why would you send up 9 of the former and 13 of the latter? Why would you do more than 1 manned mission?

It's much easier to preach to the choir.
