If you think they had the technology to fake that in the late 60's then you're truly stupid. Not to mention Area 51 didn't exist back then. Besides, you're going to believe something from Fox News? If so, then you're even dumber than I could imagine.

To answer the original question. I guess a good reason is the fact that the moon used to be a part of the Earth during the early stages of Earth's development. There are elements on the moon that aren't found on Earth. I suppose we could learn more about the Earth by studying the moon. It also helps that the moon is geologically inactive. There are more interesting things to study in space in my opinion.
