So let's construct our "moon hoax" conspiracy.
The OP at least pays some homage to the fact that there were moon missions beyond the first one.
So, in order to construct a plausible theory, we have to have some idea as to what it would really take to fake the multiple moon missions, and oh, by the way, all the other space missions we have ever done, since, you know, space has radiation and stuff.
Let's start with what it would take to fake the footage in a studio as the OP's author posits.
We would need the actors, in this case the "astronauts". 41 in total, with a few alternates. We would then need a film crew. Camera guy, film processor, editor, director, lighting technician, props guys, etc. Call it a crew of about 10 to make the movies.
Our rolling total comes to 51. You would have to get the evil conspirators who thought of the whole scheme, so that makes another, say 10 people to organize and plan the whole thing. 61 and counting.
Now, in order to actually fake the building and launching of the rockets, and the capsules going to the moon, etc, you need to either get all of the flight controllers for all the missions in on it, or enough techical people to run the computers and fake the controls. Now it would be very hard to dupe so many field staff, so let simply assume that all the people in mission control were in on it too.

Each one of those panels were pretty much occupied 24/7 while the missions were in progress. Say 50 people per 8 hour shift times 3... add 150 more per mission, althogh there is some overlap.
We also can't forget the moon missions that cirled the moon, but didn't land. A total of 9 missions. Given some overlap in personnel this means that roughly, say a thousand "controllers" were involved in faking the data to make it look like there were actual orbiters involved.
So we also have the fact that the Russians knew about it as well, call it at least a hundred people with probable direct knowledge that it was faked, from techinicians who studied the faked data to the generals to the decision makers who decided not to blab.
We are now at around 1200 people with direct, involved knowledge of the faked missions.
We have to add further the people, like a globe full of amateur astromers and radio buffs listening to the transmissions from the "moon mission" and watching the capsules speeding away from the earth.
There would then have to be a dedicated group of killers ready to kill anyone who blabbed or their family over the course of the intervening 40 years. This would take quite a few people, call it 50 to monitor people and another 20-40 musclemen who may not have known why they were threatening/killing people. We can conservatively leave the muscle out, but monitoring the words and statements of 1200+ people takes a good effort,even for an evil conspiracy.
At this juncture, I would point out that, as "evidence" of this conspiracy, the OP simply alleges that deathbed confessions would be weeded out by the "controlled media", while ignoring the fact that the "controlled media" hasn't been able to contain all the other conspiracy websites and his other links.
The OP cannot produce a deathbed, or for that matter any other confession from any one of the people supposedly involved in this.
We can continue to add people that must have been both involved and actively and sucessfully duped if you want.
This is where I will ask the most basic, simple question of the OP:
Please give me ONE account of someone who admits active involvement in this. Deathbed confessions of people who aren't intimidated by the musclemen would go a long way towards providing actual proof.
So let's construct our "moon hoax" conspiracy.
