Well although I haven't seen the interview myself I understand he does
mention that NASA has withheld or lost a considerable amout of "high

So, while you claimed 'evidence' it actually turns out to be hearsay
about an opinion in an interview (not testimony) about _not_ having
film.
Whether he claims this is becuase they are or
were trying to hide something I'm not certain. However I understand there is
at least one NASA image on public record taken on the Apollo 11 mission
which shows a UFO and Alderin has now confirmed that they were shadowed.
The 'U' in UFO means _Unidentified_. It could have been anything or
something from the Apolo itself.
Absence of evidence isn't evidence unless you are using it to support an
alternative theory which you are,
What particular theory do you think that 'support' ? I don't recall
making any.
but basing a theory on the lack of
evidence when evidence to the contrary actually exists is IMO plain
stupidity, it's not even close to a valid argument. Scepticism is a faith.
So you make up this idea that I have a theory and then say that I
support it with 'no evidence' and thus it is a 'faith'. Given that I
have made no claim to a theory and have berated you on the fact that
there is no evidence for your claims then you are just attempting to
support your faith.
Whatever you have shown it is just hearsay and speculation.
