I'm confused. If all the data from probes and satellites is an elaborate fake, what difference does it make to send a few astronauts? They can't report the real data either. The reason why we haven't been to the Moon is that it's very expensive to go, especially with contemporary safety standards. The Artemis program is projected to cost around $100 billion. There's nothing on the Moon that would provide a direct return on that investment.
