Personally, I am sure that they did land on the moon back in 1969. The cold war with Russia was still going strong at that time and I am sure the Russians (as well as anyone else with the capability) had telescopes tracking the lander and would have shouted out loud if the Americans had in fact gone for a quick spin round the earth, dicked about with the Van Halen belt (maybe air guitared to "Eruption") and then came home clutching a piece of pumice and saying "oooh, look what we found"
