Heh. So I’m thinkin’, “What the heck? Let’s go back to the moon!”

Uh uh. That’ll cost ya 16 quadrillion dollars, fer sure.

... I must add, it’s my firm conviction that no human will ever set foot on the moon again. And ancillary to that, within 100 years it will be widely accepted that the Apollo moon landings are a myth.

The problem with your theory is this:
The equipment is still on the moon and is still visible from Earth with a high-powered telescope. You can probably see the American flag too!

Since I can't unlearn everything I know, including science, physics and history, I have to refute that conviction.
At least to the extent of the stated 100 years.

At least three arrays of retroreflectors (also called retroprisms) were left on the moon. Although their efficacy will certainly degrade to the point of uselessness through deterioration of their precisely ground surfaces by micrometeorite action, it will take far far longer than 100 years.

Since they are all pretty much constantly visible from the earth, their existence can be confirmed by instruments as primitive as the telescopes used by Galileo to discover the Jovian moons.

It is impossible for naturally occuring retroreflectors to exist.

Yes, The alternative is admitting we aren't as capable as those primitives in the 1960's.

People at Brown Aviation in San Diego told me in 1969 that the moon landing was a hoax.
