I mean if you want to say that there is some 1% or whatever nominal figure chance we faked it then fine. On the whole though there is simply too much evidence from too many independent sources to argue that it didn't happen.

Ed White and C.C. Williams were oddities as they were 6-footers - that was the absolute height limit for Gemini and Apollo, IIRC.

(White was a fantastic athlete among the astronaut program, which was not as "fitness" oriented as we might think today. A lot of them were legitimately crazy - fine line between genius and madness, and all that. Armstrong, for his part, had some strange theory that you're born with only so many heartbeats and avoided any unnecessary exercises. But, White, for his part, missed making the 400 m hurdles for the Olympic team by 1/10 of a second - not too shabby for a real hero.)

I generally don't discuss politics, conspiracies or religion at any event or party or on a date. I know some of you think I'm some nut, but I'm not some lunatic with hairy armpits and a tie-dyed shirt talking muttering about politics.

My last boyfriend let me give him a shave with a straight razor if he had an important business meeting to go to where he wanted to look extra sharp. Would he let someone crazy do that? No.

ETA: Ace, you are alright. You disagree with everything I say for the most part but you aren't mean about it.

We did, but I very recently learned that we encountered aliens on the moon that made it abundantly clear that we are to never go there again.

I know all sorts of things about all sorts of topics.

The U.S. manned space program is a particular interest of mine, on top of that.

Did you shave his face or did he shave his head bald as well? You charge for your services?

You do seem to know a lot about a variety of topics.

I guess people think there was only one moon landing. I always see it referred to as "the moon landing" rather than "the moon landings."

Like I said above, there were 6 manned landings.

Face (he has a full head of hair).

Face smooth and no burn.

Sorry to admit it, but we DID NOT land on the moon in 1969.


What you are admitting is that you do not believe that we landed on the moon. You can now officially call yourself a nut. One of the problems with all of these conspiracy theories is that, in almost all cases, the lack of a conspiracy is the most elegant resolution of the issue.

I.e., it would be easier to just land on the moon than to fake it and keep the conspiracy a secret for 47 years.

Especially given the Soviet's desire to humiliate America.
