The Russia missions to plant French reflectors had limited success. They only recently located the first reflector. But we've been getting signal from the American reflectors since they were planted - one by each of three Apollo missions.
This doesn't prove the reflectors were not planted remotely, but it would explain why ours worked - we had people planting them in person, instead of robotic rovers.
Moreover, there is no good reason to think the moon landing was hoaxed - none. All of the so-called evidence is just silly stuff that has been refuted many times over. Your estimate of my intelligence or how well I can be trusted is irrelevant to me, as are all the rest of your opinions. Those opinions are also irrelevant to nearly everyone else on the planet judging by the success of your website.
