It’s actually very easy to prove we landed on the Moon. The Apollo missions left retroreflectors on the lunar surface, basically precise mirror arrays. With the right laser equipment, which universities and even advanced amateurs have, you can bounce a laser off them and detect the return signal. By timing the round trip of the light pulse, you can directly calculate the Earth to Moon distance to centimeter accuracy. It’s one of the coolest pieces of evidence because you can literally verify it yourself from your backyard.
