[On the moon landings]
Meteorites, made by rocks and metals, in their impact with atmosphere burn and instead your cork-capsule, your plastic-capsule are magic, they don't burn at 5000/10000 °F.
Only air pressure would brake into pieces your CORK
Plastic would melt like butter and your capsule would grow red-hot.

Assuming that's what you're talking about...
1. The moon has no atmosphere
2. HEAT SHIELDS FOR THE EPIC WIN
CTSTDT thirded (or whatever), with all the rest of the "there was no moon landing" crap.
The capsules and shuttles are made out of metal, and they're coated with a heat-resistant/heat-dissipating ceramic that protects them quite well (unless it's chipped, like with Columbia). Meteorites, if large enough, DO make it to the ground, where they cause craters (there's one in Arizona).
All of this stuff becomes moot, however, if you're landing on the Moon, as the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere. >_>
And the reason why the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) didn' burn up propr to landing on the Moon, is because (unlike Earth, for example; that's why the Command Module has a Heat Shield for Terran re-entry) it's atmosphere is just like your brain, smallpenis:
Nonexistent.
...oh, and I notice you Conspiracy Theorist types never mention those before, such as the Mercury astronauts, the likes of Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, or those after - such as all those Space Shuttle missions, or the likes of Taikonaut Yang Liwei. Or those who return from the International Space Station in Soyuz capsules.
But then you CT lot are so obsessed with that particular space mission. One thing I always keep in mind when I read your brand of CT dogtoffee: Funny that the whole 'Man didn't land on the Moon' BS only came to being after the release of the 1978 film "Capricorn One", just nine years after Armstrong's 'One Small Step For Man', eh? And not in a 'Funny-ha-ha' way, neither.
Coincidence? You decide...!
Just say the same to the face of Buzz Aldrin; and just like a certain journalist said the same to him previously, you'll find yourself picking yourself - and what's left of your teeth - off the floor.
The rest of said teeth will have been punched so far down your throat, you'll have to use Preparation H as toothpaste.
My guess is you haven't had the cojones to challenge Mr. Aldrin directly, re. your point here, eh? Thought not...!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
