Governments are better at keeping secrets than they are popularly given credit for. As an exercise, I would like you to try to identify United States intelligence operatives.
I would suggest that governments are not as good at keeping secrets as they are popularly given credit for. The atomic bomb secrets were exposed to foreign governments multiple times, and the Apollo project involved considerably more people under far more scrutiny.

Sure, many thousands of people were involved with the Apollo project. But, maybe only a few people would have to be in on the fraud.
If more than two people know about it it is not a secret any more.
Watergate would have been a lot easier to conceal than a fake moonlanding.
Including people building the set, lighting it, constructing the delay lines in order to make the transmissions simulate eme delay and so on.
You'd have to do it 'the cube' style and even then too many people would have known the truth.
