    Yea it would be fun, but in the great scheme of things it means nothing.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Neither does the 9/11 conspiracy 'theories' so why not argue about wheter we really went to the moon or not?

    Well obviously not...considering the moon does not even exist!

    I can't see the moon, I'm on the other side of the Sombero Galaxy.

    The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across

    Personally, I'm much more skeptical that we went to the moon than whether the U.S. helped carry out the 9/11 attack.

    Heck, almost 40 years later we're struggling to get the space shuttle off the ground yet we sent that many rockets to the moon and back....? It would have been much to fake it back then.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    you're thinking about it the wrong way. NASA did go to the moon, they chose to go to the moon and did, many of the best engineers in the country worked on it and it was well funded. Budget cuts, general theft, the effect of 40+ years worth of being a government program, the lack of interest in science and the space program for the last 30 years or so. It all adds up to the problems they have now.

    It's still a pretty difficult thing to do after all that's why they have many mistakes.

    A single use rocket is also a bit different than attempting to send multi use 35 year old technology into space.

    You should wonder...why haven't they come up with something better in the last 35 years than the space shuttle??

    i don't know, but that shuttle inside the kennedy space center is pretty bad ass,...

    i've never gone on a plane either

    i can't even imagine what it would be like lifting off into space, at such a high speed and just leaving your own planet...wow

    I'd be all over it. I'd be the first one there, but then, I am a huge aviation buff. I've always wanted to be a pilot. I'll get there eventually.

    I would, because I would be kicking myself the rest of my life if I didn't.

    That's how I feel. It's risky, but so is every automobile trip I ever take. Ya gotta do it.

    Acutally, I was reminded of a later episode (Grimey???) where he mentions his trip to space and after a brief exchange says "You've never been?"

    We went to the Moon... there's a flag and a plaque and a car and a golf ball up there.
    As for the Space Shuttle... it is late 70s/1980s vehicles that are used over and over again. A hell of a lot more wear and tear on those vehicles than the one shot Saturn IVs.

    So you say that every single one of the questions surrounding 9/11 is meaningless. You obviously know absolutely nothing about the subject. Thank God America has people like you who will always toe the line and believe everything they're told by Fox news.
  • we did not go to the moon ...
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    well; we're going back. this time to mine the helium3 found in the moon rocks. although many may think we never went to the moon; few can explain the mirrors set up on the moon and how the observatory in colorado fires a laser at the mirrors and gets a return signal.

    I love Eddie Izzard's stand up piece about the moon. Its better seeing the actual show obviously but the script is funny.


    "But they went to the Moon and they brought back rock. They brought back rock! Trouble is, we’ve got rock. That was the one thing we didn’t need, wasn’t it?

    “Rock, Neil? I don’t know whether you looked at the planet before you took off, but it’s made of fucking rock!”

    “But it’s Moon rock…”

    “Oh, fucking hell! This is Earth rock, Neil, come on! ( mocking ) Earth rock with special minerals. It’s rock, isn’t it? Have you heard? On the stock market, rock’s gone up three points! No, it hasn’t, has it? ‘Cause it’s fucking rock! We wanted diamonds, or sherbet or a squirrel with a gun!”

    So they went to the Moon and they found rock. They’ve found ice as well recently, so it’s rocks and ice. What an exciting planet! Obviously a party planet. And they went to mars and found more rock, but it’s red this time, so… We’ve got the most boring solar system I’ve ever heard of…! And I’ve never heard of any!"
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    i guess it would be funny if we didn't discover helium3 in that rock. something rare on earth and a clean source of energy.

  • Everyone knows the moon is really made of cheese. It's like one giant leap for cheddar.

    When will we start putting advertising logo's on it is the question I'm wondering.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    this is actually kind of funny. there is some convincing evidence out there but then I saw some show on the histroy channel I think. they broke down each theory and dispelled it. its funny though.

    Speaking of moon comedy, I was thinking about this Seinfeld bit reading that...

    We explored the Earth looking for women.
    We even went to the Moon just to see if there were any women there.
    That's why we brought that little car.
    Why would you bring a car, unless there's some chance of going on a date?
    What the hell were they doing with a car on the goddamn Moon?
    You're on the Moon already!
    Isn't that far enough?
    There is no more male idea in the history of the universe than:
    "why don't we fly up to the Moon and drive around?"
    That is the essence of male thinking right there.
