Reply #3 - Jul 22^nd, 2019 at 4:32pm We had a half day off school to go home and watch the moon landing, we were lucky to have a TV, others stayed at school to watch on the schools TV, it was a different era and it was one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind. Not much has happened since.

Spending billions on NASA is just their way of saying they want to escape to Mars and other planets, because they don't want to face the problems of this planet.

There were far better Docos on Pay for View.

It was interesting how the Moon has two sides.
One is the one we see and the other shows how the Earth's ancient 2nd Moon became the much thicker crust on the far side via slow impact and then the 'impact' crater that produced the 'dark spots' (Man on the Moon) on the side we see. The Moon is lopsided. Thin crust our side. Much thicker crust the Far Side.

Moon Landing was cool. Shame about the dirty sex addict Media President JFK who was shot for shagging too many wives of angry husbands who got a sucker with nothing to take the shot.
And we want this sort of Politics (Privatised) to help Govern the World? Huh

How do you know that?

Anyway, the greatest achievement in human history was the invention of the Fender electric guitar.

Thank you Leo.
