Apollo 12 to 17 were just as faked as Apollo 11. The indications given under Top 10 also apply to these missions - exactly or analogously. Details about these missions can be found on the linked pages. See main page.

So I'm not going to go further into these Apollo missions here. But I ask the question about the truth of the reports about other NASA missions. It is conspicuous that from the missions to the Moon and beyond all missions with a pioneer character have been reported to be successful, provided that the launch had worked and the satellite could have escaped the gravitational field of the Earth; for the Apollo missions already a successful launch was sufficient. If you, dear reader, know a counterexample, please let me know.

Fatal errors in a large distance from the Earth, thus distances to the Moon or larger, have only been reported for routine missions, as, for instance, that the Mars Climate Orbiter had crashed on Mars on 23-Sep-1999. Here the question arises whether this mission, because it failed, got a higher attention of the press than if it had been reported to have been successful. The Mars Climate Orbiter mission would hardly have remained so well in our memory, if there had not been talks of a mismatch between meters and inches.

I have summarized the most well-known pioneer missions of NASA in the adjacent Mission_Show for you; as mentioned above, all of them should have been successful.

I mention here two examples. Decide for yourself whether only one or both are fake.

Worth mentioning is the flight with the nitrogen jet propelled backpack from the Space Shuttle Challenger on the 12th of February 1984. The pilot Bruce McCandless should have ventured almost 100m away from the Space Shuttle. As a former spacecraft communicator for Apollo 11 this man was certainly perfectly predestined to sell then this flight to the general public.
