With NASA's new book out trying to prove that we landed on the moon, what do you believe?
Me for one believe we did!

"Something is only impossible until it's not."
And if we hadn't been there then, we sure would have by now - and that would have definately made news. So the only explanation is we DID go there back then.
1) We went to the moon.
2) We convinced 500,000 people to be quiet about faking a trip to the moon, despite tabloid offers of loads of cash to demonstrate otherwise.
3) We had a small group of people build such convincing technology that we would be able to go to the moon that it fooled the rest of the 500,000 people into thinking we could and did.
#1 is obvious. no conpsiracy, no problem.
#2 is ridiculous. 2 people knowing a secret is 2 too many. It would have gotten out.
#3 is silly. Making technology that would be able to make it to the moon but not going leaves only the question of "why not?" If we built stuff well enough to fool all the people actually making it, it would have worked. If it worked, why would we not have used it?

Plain old human stubbornness.
The announcement comes on the heels of former astronaut Buzz Aldrin's September encounter with filmmaker Bart Sibrel, who had demanded Aldrin swear on a Bible that Aldrin had actually walked on the Moon.
Aldrin punched the man in the face.

Personally, I think NASA is wasting its time and money on this. Those who can or will believe already do or will do so, and those who won't... well, I suppose every generation has to have its cave dwellers. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
