Tell me why the moon is real, real evidence supporting that it actually is there. i've come by some things that suppose that in space there is projectorsatellite projecting the moon and i'd like to know what are they trying to cover up if this is true.

You can point a powerful laser at it and it will reflect off the moon and come back to Earth. Holographic projections don't reflect lasers.

The moon's existence was recorded long before we had the technology to create such a satellite, so unless you're indirectly proposing that aliens came and created a fake moon around a rocky uninhabited planet for shits and giggles, your theory is out of luck.
