Men on the moon

[skelly]

When was the last time anyone landed on the moon? I think it was a long time ago, maybe 25 years. So why don't we go there anymore? I don't believe that anyone has ever been and they know that they might have been able to kid us on in the 60's and 70's but they can't kid us on in 2003.

I honestly didn't think that this would encourage so many answers. Excuse my ignorance but I had never really thought about this before, unlike some of you who seem pretty clued up on the issue. Anyway, thank you for your answers and hands up who thinks Paul McCartney is dead. p.s. That was a joke, please don't answer that.

Offered for your vehement attacks, which are completely expected from common minded folk, is the fact that yes I am a citizen of the United States of America and I am replying to those who use the term "conspiracy theorists" loosely, and particularly those who associate it with stupid average citizens of the United States of America.. I find it relevant that so many Brits are entirely concrete in their absolute convictions of what is true or not. This pomposity is of course stereotypical of Brits from an American perspective (an over-generalization that is typically and vehemently avoided by myself,) but here it should be noted that the grammatical sentence structuring postured by these same Brits are entirely faith based. A faith based entirely on their own ineffable infallibility to discern fact from fiction and relying solely on what little data their experience has met, resulting in further *******izing while being filtered through the prism of their ethnocentric bias. In other words, when the above Brits have written and presented their opinion in the form of a fact, it seemingly serves only to betray their own faith based position. That being said... Here is what appears, to me, to be most strange of all regarding the alleged "landings on the moon": We have 6 very challenging missions, within an approx. 4 year time frame. Six critical missions taking place this quickly, especially missions that involve actually landing mankind on the face of another celestial body, during the technological equivalent of the alleged time period, is patently absurd. This time frame is in itself, declarative that something is amiss. For even the current mission preparations for the space shuttle take typically 12 months. Maybe we did land on the moon that many times in that short of time, because after all, we are the United States of America and everyone knows how we can do anything we please including defying the laws of physics and Nature
