(1) Going to and from the Moon through the Van Allen Radiation Belt

Launch azimuth 75 degrees relative to equator, went out through the center of the belts and passed through only its weak fringe. Passage took under twenty minutes, and they spacecraft WAS decent shielding. Radiation exposure equivalent to a singe chest X-ray. Brought the dosimeters back to prove it.

Having enough fuel to even leave Earth Orbit to go to the Moon and get back.

It had enough fuel. Have you ever seem a Saturn V? Its a LOT of fuel. The trip to the moon and back were low energy coats. The spacecraft fell into the gravity well of first the Moon and then the Earth.

Then there were the Space Suits and could they actually work on the Moon.

Yes, fully tested and validated for reliable functionality in harsh radiation and vacuum conditions years before the launches.

My favorite how could the Lunar module possible have blasted off the moon to get back in orbit to hook with Command module. The more you look that thing it is an absolutely flimsy piece of equipment.

It WAS a light piece of equipment, but not so flimsy. The gravity on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth and their is no atmosphere to impede acceleration. It was discarded once the crew transferred to the command module.

In short, the only people who believe that the moon landings were faked are people with almost no knowledge of physics, the history of communications and flight hardware, and the preparations/testing prior to the design and construction of the hardware. I might also mention a severe mathematical deficiency.

Read up on it. You'd be proud and impressed.
