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.
