1. ANSWER
Yes, humans landed on the Moon six times between 1969 and 1972 via NASA's Apollo program (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17).12

2. EVIDENCE
- Moon rocks: 382 kg returned, independently verified as lunar (airless, waterless formation) by global labs, impossible to fake.23 (Florida Today, April 7, 2026; IOP, recent; YouTube debunk, April 9, 2026)
- Orbital photos: NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO, 2009+), China's Chang'e, India's Chandrayaan-2, Japan's probes image landing sites, modules, rover tracks, footprints—visible today.24 (IOP; RMG, April 9, 2026; Wikipedia, April 9, 2026)
- Laser reflectors: Apollo 11/14/15 reflectors (plus Soviet Luna) still used today for Earth-Moon distance measurement by global observatories—direct proof of hardware placement.5 (Forbes, April 3, 2026; NASA/ILRS)
- Contemporary records: 8,400+ photos, video, audio transcripts; Soviet Union (rival) confirmed via tracking; 400,000 involved, no leaks.16 (Florida Today, April 7, 2026; Mosheh AMA, April 8, 2026)
No new 2026 contradictions; Artemis II (ongoing as of April 9, 2026) views Apollo sites, reinforces evidence.78 Hoax claims (flag "waving," no stars) debunked: vacuum physics, exposure settings.94

3. CREDIBILITY
10/10—overwhelming, multi-nation, physical, ongoing scientific verification; hoax claims pseudoscience.10

4. BIAS
CENTER—sources include NASA, Wikipedia, IOP, BBC, Forbes, RMG (scientific/mainstream outlets); no partisan slant, focus on facts. Minor conspiracy mentions (e.g., Guardian 2019) contextualized as debunked.11
