If Neil Armstrong was the first to set foot on the moon, who was holding the camera?
Why did we never go back to the moon?
You won't be convinced, but there were six crewed moon landings between July 1969 and December 1972.

Why didn't we go back? The Apollo program was cover (slight of hand) for many secret military experiments and developments of tech and weapon (mainly ballistic missiles and nukes). Did you know the USAF had their own astronaut crews that were not NASA. The basic answer, it was too expensive and the payoff under any political term is not worth it. Any administration funding space exploration must fund 5 and 10 year projects in a political system that lasts 4 or 8 years.
Also, review what happened to NASA's budget ( how it declined) but also look at what happened with the $USD during these same years.

The truth is often to boring for people to accept. Thank you @TNStacker
I have never doubted any conspiracy theory because I think people are not capable of doing evil things and lying. The state is evil. No institution even comes close to its evil. But when you look at the Apollo program and study history it is obvious this was about the U.S.S.R.
The real takeaway though is it doesn't matter if it was fake or real. We KNOW the state lies like you and I breath. You can't trust liars. Only fools do that.
What do you do with this knowledge? Find more times they lied? Its fun. Like watching sports but don't fool yourself. It isn't fixing anything. Those that haven't taken the red pill will not believe you. You can't save them.

Facts. And you're welcome @kepford!

Who has ever said that the footage of Armstrong (if it is him) captures the very moment of his first step on the moon?

The camera was mounted on the lunar module; it was not being held by anyone. If my memory serves me correctly, current safety standards are much more stringent than they were for the first lunar mission.

From the link I posted:
Armstrong’s descent was captured, not by a “cameraman” but by a camera placed in the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA), a compartment near the ladder, and deployed by Armstrong as he was standing on the Lunar Module’s porch. The original camera that was used was left on the moon.
