Your mistake is to think that NASA was in direct line-of-sight to the
Moon for the entire mission, and that all video feed was received and
relayed forward solely by the NASA mission control center and nobody else.
If you think about it, you'll find some problems with that idea. As you
know, the Earth rotates. This means that one point on the surface of the
earth is in direct line-of-sight to the Moon for an average of 12 hours
per day. It's physically impossible for the NASA mission control center
to have a 24-hour direct link to the signals sent from the Moon.
Of course everybody knows this, and it wasn't a problem. NASA mission
control center was certainly not the only place on Earth which was
receiving and relaying those signals.
(Also, do you *seriously* think that eg. the USSR was not watching
closely every single transmission? The USSR would have loved nothing
more than to expose a hoax and ridicule the USA.)
If instead of living in an illusion you *really* want to know the truth,
then please do some research. See how they managed the missions, the
transmissions and everything. You'll see that many of the conspiracy
theory accusations will crumble solely by doing that.
