A beautiful linguistic ambush here. The word "staged" has two meanings - conspiracy theorists think the moon landing was faked on a movie set, while aerospace engineers know rockets literally use "stages" that separate during launch. The Saturn V had three main stages, each discarded after fuel depletion, allowing the vehicle to shed mass and increase efficiency. So yes, technically, the moon landing was staged. Just not in the way your uncle who watches too many YouTube videos thinks it was.
