I had to chuckle at some wag's comment on a local newspaper's web site:

"It's not a good week to be an Armstrong."

I have always kept an open mind, however I am swayed by the real fact that the Soviets would have been on to a hoax in a flash, as at that time the cold war was at its height.

Anyhow for someone who was 9 years old when this thing took off ( and no one refutes the launches) this stirs the blood!

Somebody said (skeptically) at work the other day.. "If they managed to get to the moon all the way back then, why haven't they done it since considering the advancement of technology"

My response was "What's the point?"

Not much point, I agree. It is also very expensive and NASA was more interested in spending billions on the space shuttle, the space station, deep space probes and, at the moment, checking out Mars - presumably the next target for a manned landing.

I have absolutely no f*cking idea what that is supposed to mean.

Anyway, I was never bothered either way whether we'd gone or not. Since viewing the large IMAX film of the landings at Kennedy Space Centre, however, I'm now completely convinced that we've never been anywhere remotely f*cking close to the place. Funny that. I expect that wasn't what they were aiming for.

Let's imagine you want to fake a moon landing...

You have to blast a rocket into space. People saw that. They were there. So, you've built a space rocket. They aren't like car insurance, you can't shop around. Only so many firms can do it. Firms full of Phd-ed out of their eyeballs super-engineers. So either you get a whole firm of super engineers to lie about having built a rocket they know isn't capable of going to the moon (they don't tend to take on minimum wage grafters) and none of them, once, spill, despite the inevitable lucre awaiting, or you build a rocket capable of going to the moon, and then not do it....

Yep! you would also think that one of those 30+ astronauts used in the Apollo missions would have spilled the beans or one of the many film production crews used to film the moon landings in the so called hangar.

Its funny that the Russians who are most qualified people on earth that could question the authenticity never do.

Copied from a friend's Facebook page.

ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON.

HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, "THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND," WERE TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS.

BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK "GOOD LUCK, MR.
GORSKY."

MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGH IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT.

HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMS.

OVER THE YEARS MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE "GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY... STATEMENT MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED.

ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA, WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION TO ARMSTRONG. THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED.

MR. GORSKY HAD DIED, SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IN 1938 WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WEST TOWN, HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD.

HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD BY THE BEDROOM WINDOW.

HIS NEIGHBORS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY.

AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS. GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY.

"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!"
