Absolutely!!

There are those that believe man didn't really land on the moon.
There are those that believe man landed on Mars and kept it a secret.

I knew it! ...;)

Our school set up tellies in some of the classrooms so we all watched it live [we saw it before the US and NASA did...as it was our side of the world that received the signal...and a time delay was imposed for retransmission in case anything 'went wrong'.

I think the delay was 7 minutes.

I was 14 going on 15 so was in Form 4 ...;)

I was 16, still in the UK and working for my father as an apprentice plasterer at the time.  I remember that we knocked off work early that day so we could get home early to watch the whole shebang on TV... along with a few dozen neighbours because we had the only TV in the village at that time. 

So yeah, the moon landing brought people together, some that may not have been otherwise, and it changed the lives of billions on the planet.  We have a multitude of products at our disposal thanks to the space programme and the scientists/engineers who worked so hard to pull it off.

Nope, the"giant step for mankind" was NO hoax.

ok. well then, were you there? do you have definate proof that the landings were faked? Show me this proof. Put up or shut up. Just because you believe that something is not true, doesn't make it so. Unless you have some 100% unrefutable evidence that doesn't come from the sceptics on crack university then i suggest you keep your opinion just that. An opinion.

Nimbin....there are people who are convinced the world is flat ....which I guess means you and I are only here because we have magnetic boots....and in your case you've got a real problem....;)

Yeah, they even started the 'Flat Earth Society'... let my membership lapse because the globe they presented me with wouldn't spin like regular ones.  The corners were sharp and cuts were frequent.

Tell the Apollo 13 guys that stuff is fake. I doubt they see it that way as they nearly lost their lives out there.

When we go back in 2020 or so we will set those people straight that thinks it did not happen.

By the way if it's false why then can astromnomy towers beam a laser to the Apollo 14 site and have the laser beemed back because they left a refector there for us to use that way?

Good point!

Saw a "Myth Busters" last nite. They proved all the objections and conspiracy theory stuff were false. They included the footprints, 'breeze' (flag movements in a vacuum), low grav movement and lighting of Neil Armstrong as he descended the ladder were all correct as shown in the original videos.

Sorry, Nimbin...."That's the way it is."

*Edit: Senility prevented me from typing Irokoness. Sorry, Nimbin! Dummitis struck me. Thanx, munkeh.

It was a frisby, you moron....;)

I was home from boarding school with whooping cough...and had the tele wheeled in to the end of the bed....and watched every minute of it....great timing....

The whole space race...the excitement of sputnik launches....had a profound effect on our generation....as a littley...I would always answer that whaddya wanna be question with..."I want to be an astronaut"...

Here's to the guys at Honeysuckle Creek...who bought it to us first....and Parkes...and all involved....link

Making feel like putting The Dish on....     link..

Hmmm, never looked at it like that.  With the sharp corners n' all... yup, coulda used it like the boomerang 'feral kid' had in Mad Max II.

mmm yep  he is more on than off

I believe Nimbin is on the "It happened" side...

In my defence.... ON my puter.

Thanks for the kool links sydney!!!

in your defence huh, im not going there

About 5 years ago I actually served Buzz Aldren at a restaurant I was working at

Did the customers like him?

Was he on toast, or with a side salad?...;)

Funny thing is he was here for the Opening ceremonies at a very private airfield for the rich and when he landed his plane he crashed into something. He wasnt seriously injured but he did have a bandage on his forehead
