Yes this one nasa has never explained on their con debunking website. How were they bending their fingers around like they were wearing motorcycle gloves?

It's not quite that easy. There is some flexibility - enough to grip things, but you can't do precision work with those gloves on. The apollo spacesuits were made of (from the inside out):

An all-over leotard with cooling tubes running through it.
A quilted body suit for comfort
An air-tight neoprene/nylon bladder
A nylon restraint webbing to prevent too much ballooning
An insulation suit of layered kapton and glass fibre
A couple of layers of mylar
Finally, teflon-coated glass fibre weave outer skin.

The gloves have less layers, but higher performance insulation. They were individually molded to each crewmember's hands for a perfect fit. They are articulated, but only on the inside, the inner neoprene is concertina'd at the joints (as is the rest of the suit) - you can't tell from the outside because the insulation and the outer layer disguise it.

But I saw nasa try and prove the gloves were flexable by pumping them to the correct pressure and then attempting to move the fingers, they barely moved at all, and i mean really really not a lot (not like on the film at all) but the nasa guy was going 'see articualtion' and I was thinking you can go playing golf in them bastards let alone pick up rocks and have a space wank.
 
*Holds hands in the air*
Oy!

Well, I can't beat that. But hey, if the huge rockets and the lasers and the engineers and the soviets and the photos and all that crap aren't enough then I guess the gloves are a great big conspiracy :)

Oh, just found a report based on apollo interviews, apparently the gloves:

...imposed serious limitations on hand mobility, finger dexterity and tactility, and resulted in serious arm fatigue that basically began within minutes of the start of an EVA and continued all day without let-up

So they were a bitch. Modern space gloves are much nicer apparently.

I never said we didn't go to the moon I said that there were a few things I found fishy about it. It's like saying you believe in UFOs, Yes I believe there are unidentifyed flying objects for whatever reason but that doesn't mean there are space aliens. It means people saw some stuff they could not identify.

All those weird deep-sea creatures are actually special effects. Even Attenborough was conned. They dunk the sub in the water off the side of the boat and then project pictures of squid on the windows. Nobody's the wiser.

I know you weren't being totally serious. I just found an excuse to geek out on space suits :)

That is a silly get out clause frankly, the clear implication of a UFO is that it is either extra-terrestrial or linked to some secret government technology, not just a base ball that I threw and you couldn't figure out what it was before it went behind the hedge!

If we are alone in this Universe it really is a frightful waste of space, I'm certain that there are other intelligent life forms here, just they haven't made it to earth and we wouldn't recognise them if they did. In the highly unlikely event that they do arrive the odds of it staying secret for more than a few seconds is basically nil.

Bollocks. A few years ago I worked in this area and it is quite clear the most interesting ones over London are not space craft or government technology but they are still classed as UFOs because we don't know what they are.
 
Of all the conspiracy theories the fake moon landing is my favourite. I watched the documentary, and there was also a film - I can't remember what it was called...

When I watched the documentary a little bit of me wanted it to be a hoax - because it would have been the biggest hoax ever - but like many people said, there's no way so many people could organise this and keep quiet for so long. Not to mention all the clever evidence of it actually happening, as pointed out by Crispy and treefrog and others...
