Wanna hear something funny, I don't think we landed on the moon. I am not one of these conspiracy theory goofs either. I think lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, don't believe in ghosts or UFOs, actually about the only other conspiracy theory I believe is that Rachel Ray does not actually finish that meal in thirty minutes.
I find it hard to believe that 40 years ago a rocket went into space, travelled 250,000 miles from earth, through 2 radiation rings( the van buran rings), had a capsule pop off the top, land on the moon, not one but two jeeps come out and ride around on the moons surface, play golf, take off in the capsule, land back on the rocket, go back through the rings, enter earths atmosphere, and land in the ocean with help from a parachute. Please, they haven't flown more than 500 miles from earth in twenty years and they have lost 14 astronauts breaking the atmosphere.
Ever seen the movie Apollo 13? Explain this, these astronauts are jammed in this little rocket. with barely any room. They are in contact with mission control. How come the computers on earth take up a whole large room but they can jam all that same technology in a rocket.
I'm not even going to get into the hard facts of no stars in the pictures, the flag waving in the wind, or the surface of the moon completely undisturbed under the capsules rockets. I prefer the common sense approach.
The Russians did everything in the space race before we did yet never came close to getting to the moon. China plans on a moon mission in the year 2050. Are the Chinese 80 years behind our technology?
Who new? 10 people max. Including the three astronauts and the president. Remember NASA was and is in charge of all video sent out to the networks.
Why? the cold war and the space race. We were behind and had to make the Russians think we were ahead.
Listen, I've done allot of research on this subject and it is not as silly as it sounds. I mean its not nearly as silly as using to much toilet paper is causing global warming.
