Arriving at beliefs

[True Scotsman]

If you feel like it, please share how you arrive at a position of belief or non-belief (or truth or falsehood if you prefer) on the following claim:

"The USA landed a man on the moon in 1969".

This is not a trick question but predictably will be followed up with another thread citing your answers to this one.

Hello everyone. This is my very first post on this forum besides my introduction.

I believe one must always proportion their belief to the evidence. There is simply a massive amount of evidence that we landed on the moon in '69. I was only 2 so I don't remember the first mission but I watched later launches on T.V.

It is logically possible that the whole thing was faked but I think that it is highly unlikely. The amount of effort it would take to pull off a fraud like that would trump any perceived gain.

It was actually shown in multiple ways how it wasn't faked.

Yeah. Did you see the Mythbusters episode about it?
