50 years since first moon landing?

[The Reverend Bob]

This is a perfect example of how false info circulates, & those who
don't know better will buy it. One can present challenges such as....
FACT CHECK: Did Stanley Kubrick Fake the Moon Landings?
But how would an ordinary schlub know which to believe?
Get read for things to worsen....
You thought fake news was bad? Deep fakes are where truth goes to die

I'll have to consult the Great Oracle QAnon about this.

And in this case we had more than enuf money....we had incredible
motivation & dedication. That really does make a huge difference.

and 450,000 people working on the problem...even at the time of the moon landings, though, barely half of Americans polled thought it was a good way to spend the money, preferring infrastructure, education, alleviating poverty, preservation of the environment, etc., as better expenditures. National pride and international reputation were admirable goals, just not everyone's first choice...

Poor people would've stayed poor anyway.
At least we got to have some real fun going to the Moon.
Those were heady days.
All that tax money actually accomplished something other
than killing foreigners or paying farmers to not grow crops.

Yeah, but in the world of politics, certain symbolic actions will always rate higher than other symbolic actions, for some people...

Moon landings were the best symbolism we ever had.

It wouldn't have been fun for me fearing for Armstrong's life.
Such a scrumptious sexy cute man

I had no fear.
(I stayed on the ground.
Space travel holds no appeal for me.)

This year the world going to celebrate the first moon landing 50 years after. But my question is.
Did it really happen or is it fake moon landing made in a studio?
What is your thoughts?

Of course it happened. I still remember the broadcast on the ole' b&w.

 

[Twilight Hue]

You'd be surprised how much money the government was willing to pour into projects if it meant beating the Ruskies.

JFK only approved it because of the Russians. It was a bona fide space race.

We should understand our own planet first before going elsewhere

Are you aware that we understand our own planet somewhat better as a direct result of the Apollo missions?

[Wandering Monk]

If you stop a moment and consider: humanity left the planet and stood on another celestial body...fifty years ago.

Whatever we humans do in terms of leaving our home, this was the first step.

No i am not aware of that

 

[Mock Turtle]

I was at college watching it on TV in the student common room (in the evening and in the UK) but I can't remember if it was the landing or the moon-walk. Anyone remember?

 

[Martin]

I remember watching the first moon landings on an old black and white TV.
And now we have Teflon frying pans and pens that write upside down! Isn't science wonderful?!

 

[Revoltingest]

No i am not aware of that

The Moon's geology enlightened us about history....how
it formed as the result of a collision with Earth.

Why did the min "ring" with sound when they chrashed a satelite in to it for hours?

 

[Revoltingest]

When?

Long ago.
Even before analog watches.
