Anyway I continue... as U. S. Air Force veteran
can you imagine that
someone was capable to perform landing in a
surface of space object
(never done before) 6 times in a row using
completely new technology
without actual testing it?

Every system, including the lander, was extensively
tested prior to the first
landing. Feel free to reasearch this. You will
find examples of failures and
successes.

The two inflight tests of the LM were on Apollo 9 (earth orbit), and Apollo
10 (lunar orbit and approach) LM on 10 went to within 50K feet of Lunar surface.
Apollo 10 certified the LM for 11's landing mission.
