I am very well aware that according to official history we've been six times. With regard to your second statement: Is there any official (or unofficial) documentation of this?

This is of course, all moot when compared to the final striking axe of evidence, which is that with a good enough telescope one can see, with their own two eyes, the original Apollo landing sight.

Actually, the FOX TV special in 2000 made the point that there are no telescopes, on earth itself, which are powerful enough to zoom all the way in to the original Apollo site.
Last year (or the year before), unmanned Japanese spacecraft apparently took pictures of every square inch of the moon. One would think that they would have released photos of our original landing site in order to put the conspiracy theories to rest.

So yes, we really did land on the moon. Sorry.

Believe it or not, Terry, I would rather believe that we did go. It is, after all, considered to be mankind's ultimate achievement. I've become skeptical of it after examining some of the arguments in favor of the hoax, but as I do not have the specific astronautic expertise, I have been trying to give the official history defenders some benefit of doubt...
To be frank, it was looking at the photo presented in my OP which has made me most suspicious of all... more than the arguments about un-parallel shadows, no blast crater, flag flapping in the wind, etc. I really find it extremely difficult to look at that photo and actually believe that that thing is not made of construction paper and curtain rods.
