Faulty logic as always.
I suppose to have a probe on mars means man must have placed them
there.
I suppose a robot probe might have been able to get a reflector to the
moon, might even have set it up. Were there two Cape Kennedy
launches that time - one Apollo and one probe with the reflector?
Any problem with that logic, berk.

Still faulty logic.

Probe could have been months earlier.

There are working retroreflectors at each Apollo landing site, not just Apollo 11. That multiplies the requirement for your supposed conspiracy to numerous multiple launchings. Even an unmanned landing on the Moon in the 1969-72 time frame (or any other) would have required the participation of hundreds of people and the use of large ground control facilities (similar to the earlier Surveyor programme), and for not one of them to ever break their silence.


Of course, many countries, including the USSR and PRC, had the technology and equipment to track the modules going to the moon and even verify that radio transmissions were coming from the surface.
Conceivably, NASA could have made a huge effort to fake everything, but it would have been much more difficult than actually landing. Many thousands of people would have had to be in on the conspiracy. Plausible designs for every component had to be made. A robotic lander had to land, take samples, leave evidence like footprints, flag, & LEM parts, relay radio messages, and make videos, while leaving no evidence of its own existence.
