Can you help? A conspiracy theory guy said something I don't understand. Do you?

Vis a vis conspiracy theories. He thinks the moon landing was staged. He said something about the size of our moon doesn't make sense. It's too big. Somehow that is what causes him to think we never landed on it. He also said about the sound being off. Something about a missing "ping". I have no idea to what he refers but before h s stroke he had a TOP SECRET clearance and was involved with working on satellites and such things.  A VERY smart guy. Once upon a time. He definitely doesn't believe the earth is flat but he is  dubious about the Holocaust although he didn't mention our BIG MOON in relation to it. Anyway thanks for enlightening me if you are able to.  SIGH. It gets harder and harder to understand anything that is currently going on anywhere. Help to do so is always welcome. :(

    The moon landing certainly wasn't faked. If it had been, the Soviets would have blown the gaff - they had a satellite orbiting the moon at the time, expecting precisely that. They crashed it after the Eagle successfully redocked with the command module - nothing left to prove.
    Stan Kubrick was also on record as flatly stating that special effects hadn't got far enough in 1969 to actually shoot that kind of footage. It was easier to DO it than FAKE it.

    I don't believe for a minute that it was faked Sbf. But this guy kept talking about the size of the moon. Do you have any idea why? He says our moon "should be smaller". He didn't explain why. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday! :)

    The "ping" was the sound we heard automatically in transmissions from space. He felt that the moon, relative to the size of the earth, should be smaller than it appeared to be. Of course knowledge and smarts don't guarantee understanding.  Perhaps he thought the holocaust (oh which one?) was staged as well.
