Did we really ever go to the moon? Any one know alot about space?

I don't think we ever did given the impossible odds of landing and propelling off of a raw dusty surface without ever testing it ,it was not even done on earth much less on different gravity and numerous other variables and to do so successfully not only the first time but numerous times there after defies the odds except for a Buck Rodgers comic book. and what about the Van Allen radiation belt ?Other books critical of the mission say it required a lead shield to thick to get off the ground. I think all we ever did was orbit the earth and the whole "race " idea was a scam to extort tax money for other reasons not acceptable to the people (perhaps spy satellites) and that's why NO one has ever went back in over 30 years and we squander our interest and money on the only thing we can do like orbiting space stations and telescopes
