Before we got any rocket anywhere near any orbit, it took decades of trial and error. Lots of technical people, special buildings, special towers, special crews. But from the Moon, the launch was perfect, first time, every time, no mistake, no crews or towers or special fuel or anything. Poof, up we go. Just like that.
Not quite sure what you mean here. Remember Apollo 1? Astronauts died before the rocket even took off. Apollo 4 and 6? Unmanned launch tests of the Saturn V rocket. Remember Apollo 7, 8, 9, and 10? Manned launches to make sure everything worked before they actually put people on the moon.
If you'd prefer to believe you've been lied to, that's fine - but at least check to make sure you're telling the official story correctly.
You only prove my point. All the failed launches you speak of were from the Earth. But off the Moon, everything went perfectly right, first time, every time.

Oh, oh. I misread your post. I see what you're saying, and I guess that's fair.
For what it's worth, the launch from the moon was orders of magnitude less difficult than the launch from the earth. The LM weighed much less (both less massive and lower gravity), didn't need to last long after the launch, there were no atmospheric effects, didn't need any more fuel on board than was required for the launch itself, etc etc etc.
Again, if it feels nicer to believe you've been lied to, that's up to you. I'm quite comfortable with the official story.

I do believe it's you who lets himself be lied to, for you're making excuses for NASA not addressing the sheer unlikelihood of a perfect launch off the Moon at first try, ever.
