I really find it illogical that from two alternative explanations you
are convinced that the most implausible one must be the truth.
Let's consider the two possibilities:
1) NASA faked the footage of the Moon landings. This means that all the
people who were involved in one way or another with this footage have been
keeping quiet for the last 40 years. Nobody who was aware of the fakery
has come forward, and nobody else who was working at NASA ever suspected
that the footage was fake. The astronauts themselves have kept quiet for
40 years, the people who were directly involved in creating the fakes have
been quiet for 40 years, people who decided that the fakes have to be
created have been quiet for 40 years, the people who knew the alleged
technical problems in creating the genuine footage have been quiet for
40 years, people working at NASA who may have had any suspicion that the
footage was faked have been quiet for 40 years. The people who were
involved in deliberately destroying the original material have been quiet
for 40 years.
Moreover, the engineers who designed the cameras either knew that they
won't work and have been quiet for 40 years, or were somehow fooled that
they would work even though the couldn't, and they never suspected a thing.
The engineers who designed the lunar lander and the lunar rover (who were
not NASA employees, btw) were also completely fooled by the fake footage
and never suspected their product was not really being used in vacuum in
1/6th of Earth's gravity, that the footage was so well done, that it fools
even the experts. Or, alternatively, they have been keeping quiet for 40
years.
The fakes are so well done that photography experts can find no sign of
fakery in the photographs, which is a rather impressive feat, especially
taking into account they were made in the 60's.
2) NASA did lose some original footage of the first landing due to
oversight, carelesness or a mistake. Nobody working at NASA seems to have
a problem with this claim, and it's not unprecedent.
Which possibility seems more plausible?
