I do see very well what you mean, but I think it's improbable and therefore do not agree.
Try this for logic: what would be the value of faking a moon landing? Some temporary positive PR? Benefitting whom? With quite a big risk of leaking (how many people would need to be involved in such a fake and all keep quiet? What if the Russians, the Chinese or other non pro-Americans would find out (lots of spies anyway) and publicize the fake? Way too much downside and hardly any benefits in faking the moon landings.) So I don't think so... Anyone believing the moonlandings were fake I don't take too seriously really.
@rei: the non-critical thinking of the hippie era I don't buy either. Remember the race riots in the sixties, Womens' Lib, the anti Vietnam war protests, Watergate, etc etc.
