A week before Apollo 11 was launched, NASA launched an unmanned
probe which was placed in lunar orbit.  It was explained that the probe
was for the purpose of training the Mission Control folks.

The same probe could have easily been used to relay radio signals from
the Apollo craft which was in low earth orbit.

And of course any up linked signals from the Apollo craft to your
little conspirator probe wasn't picked up by _any_ of the thousands of
listening stations all over the earth?

You might want to also get a clue that any transmissions sent from an
orbiting probe _will not_ resolve to the same location as would any
fixed transmission from the moon.

And Nixon's live phone call to Armstrong and Aldrin while they were on
the moon?

Don't you think, Stu, that the fUSSR would have LOVED to have exposed
such a conspiracy?  Or were the Soviets stupid?

Since the signals were coming via the lunar probe the propagations

delays

would have been correct.

Keep searching.

Try again, Stu, and stop using idiotic half baked possibilities to

Oh you may be the idiot.  The unmanned probe was named Tetra, I believe,
and it was very real.    Mission Control practiced on transmission from
the probe in preparation for the Apollo 11 mission.  it's not a secret
-- NASA has admitted it.

So what?

The Soviets didn't blow the whistle because joint US-USSR cooperation on
the
space program began long before the Apollo-Soyut mission.

And in case you haven't paid attention to recent history in the past 30
years, the US "loaned" the USSR millions of dollars which they needn't
have paid back.  In addition, the US bagan selling wheat and other crops
to the Soviets beginning around the time of the Apollo missions, most of
the credit going to Tricky Nixon.

Suffice to say, the Soviets had all sorts of incentives to keep the lid
on the Apollo missions.

Well, that is certainly a lot of drivel.  Why would the Soviets keep such a
thing secret when they were spending far more on their space program in
competition with us that they ever got at the time by any so-called
agriculturals trade deal?  Just hinting at a conspiracy would have been a
huge public relations victory for them.  And as I recall, those crop sales
didn't occur until the mid-70s, well after the Apollo program was canceled.

The deals were struck during the Nixon administration.  All of the 
Apollo laqndings also occured during the Nixon administration. The huge
non-repayable loans also occured during Nixon's term in office.

The Soviets were working cooperatively with the US on the space 
ventures.  There was no sense in blowing the whistle.  For that matter, 
the Soviets had several space program disasters, all which were 
monitored by the NSA.  We never plastered them across the front page of 
the New York Times now, did we??

Oh, and here is "irrefutable proof" that the Apollo landings didn't occur:
