Tha Saturn V launches are pretty good too.

That was pretty cool.
How is it, that we have not yet terraformed the moon ?
No rational human being is.So you are not of the school of thought that suggests they were faked?
Quiet amusing and informative. I like some of the lines,
We spent 20bn on going to the moon. We stayed there for 24 hours, planted a flag saying, 'we come in peace', and then returned to earth and bombed Cambodia.
Repeating yourself is not discouraged.
And I had not seen that before so I look forward to listening to it when I get home. Thanks for the link.
If anyone talks to me about the possibility of the moon landings being faked, I just point them to one of the many observatories in the world that regularly measure the Earth-Moon distance. These locations fire a laser at special mirrors (retroreflectors) on the moons surface that reflect the laser light back to Earth. The time it takes can be used to calculate the distance.
So, to the conspiracy theory lunatics... How did those mirrors get there?
Maybe aliens could have put them there. But don't you think it is more likely that humans put them there?

I wish people would stop using such misleading characterizations. You made your point excellently when you explained about reflecting lasers from the moon. I remember seeing that happen when i was at Uni.
Conspiracies happen all the time and corruption is rife, so lets not call people lunatics who question the official record. Its counter productive.
No one is stupid for asking if the lunar landings were real. Nor is anyone a nut if they ask if the holocaust was real. We should never accept something as true purely because we are told it is
