you only need one moment of thrust to keep going forward in space dummy, a car on earth needs to be continuously fighting against friction

You can have an unlimited supply of water simply by drinking your own piss. Same with food, you can just infinitely eat your own shit for sustenance.
And for oxygen, you just need a potted plant. You breathe oxygen, the plant breathes carbon dioxide.

for three guys for a week? there were tanks of liquid oxygen in that big cylindrical thing behind the capsule (one exploded, causing Apollo 13) so no big fucking deal

The system used C02 scrubbers to keep the pure 02 atmo clean, and you dont really use that much of the 02. The level of 02 was replenished from super high pressure tanks on the service module. The LM had its own independent system sized for the mission length. Both SM and LM were jettisoned at their appointed time and the air supply switched to the CM for a short while during reentry, valves allowing earth atmo into the cabin as they descended towards splash down.
if theres interest i could post the 02 consumption rates, but they can easily be found with a quick search anyway

as for the fuel, they reached LEO using fuel from the lower 2 stages of the Saturn V, which were jettisoned during ascent. Accelerating to TLI was done using the remaining fuel onboard the third stage, the S IV-B. Once they were well on their now, this was also cut loose (sometimes into some long orbit and sometimes aimed at the moon for seismic testing). Mid course correction, entering and leaving lunar orbit were done using fuel onboard the service module.
Again you can find the exact amount of all these fuels, the engines used, the fuel consumption rates, velocity changes required etc etc etc with a quick search. You'll find it all adds up correctly.

I love space and space flight, but as a major conspiracy theorist myself I really can't blame people like OP for their beliefs about the moon landing. All the advancements in computers and materials and we haven't outdone achievements set in the 60s? Of course people will start thinking it's bullshit. Why wouldn't they

All the apollo projects together cost around 100x less than what is being sent to Israel every year right now, the conspiracy theorists are looking in the wrong places as to why nothing is getting done nowadays, it's got nothing to do about what we could or couldn't achieve.

what the US has sent to just that total bullshit going on in Ukraine would have pretty much done it too. unbelievable waste.

that seems a bit exaggerated. the highest official number i can see for a yearly package to israel is about 50 billion USD. Inflated adjusted figures for Apollo average about $150BN USD.

They should make a probe fueled by my ejaculations and strap me in with a sexy alien whose job it is to jerk me off in order to provide thrust.

They didn't use piss for water. They used the fuel cells as a well.

they also had pure liquid oxygen in the tanks. and kept the cabin far below atmospheric pressure.

Yes, the pressure was about 4.5psi of pure 02.
