Here are the relevant characteristics. A 3500 lbf thrust rocket motor you can pick up with one hand. That was used to place the ascent module in low lunar orbit, then the orbiting unit made the return to Earth. As you can see, fuel for the ascent stage was about half the weight of the unit.
Mass including fuel: 10,300 lb (4,700 kg)
APS thrust: 3,500 lbf (16,000 N)
APS propellants: Aerozine 50 fuel / nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer
APS specific impulse: 311 s (3,050 N·s/kg)
APS delta-V: 7,280 ft/s (2,220 m/s)
Thrust-to-weight ratio at liftoff: 2.124 (in lunar gravity)
These methods have been well understood for over a century.
total change in velocity = specific impulse * ln(takeoff mass/final empty mass)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equationLet me repeat something you may have missed: Modern radar mapping has shown us these landing sites, and has resolved the equipment left there, the vehicle tracks, and even the footprints of these men in the surface powder. (starts at 2:50 or so)

Ayn Rand, from the launchpad of Apollo 11, wrote this about the 'doubters'. She talks about the doubters, and the skeptics...You see, they were definitely around then, just as now.

Sounds like you were unable to wake up those frontal lobes. You think that you can travel over 200K miles with less than 10,000 lbs of fuel? You must have watched a lot of cartoons because you have quite the imagination. What kind of magic fuel was that?
Oh yeah, and appealing to Ayn Rand is a logical fallacy. She was a great philosopher, but not a rocket scientist.
But nobody really wants to listen to either.
