How would we get a set of right angle laser light reflectors precisely positioned on the Moon without having humans do the job. Getting the reflectors there could have been done by an unmanned vessel but getting them positioned precisely requires a human crew in radio contact with an earth base to make the fine corrections in position.

I don't think the OP thinks the moon landing is faked but rather is mocking that conspiracy theory. The video is satire. I thought it was quite funny myself.

Kramer is one of the greatest characters in television history. Too bad he mucked it up with that stupid nightclub routine.

I personally know the moon landings weren't faked ... that's where they took Paul McCartney's body when he died.
