I was 8.   
We stayed up as late as possible watching Apollo liftoffs and the moon missions.   :patriot:
It was great.

And pretty shortly... some idiot will post how the missions were all faked  ::)

I personally know one of the scientists that was allowed to analyze moon dust and rock samples for NASA that they brought back from the various moon missions.  He told me that very few people got the chance to "touch the moon" back in the day.....

 I was 12, 'n while watching the tube (mostly NBC T.V. for the three days the coverage was on),.. i was building a 1/16 scale MPC ZL-1 Corvette,.. B.F.G. Stars and Stripes Corvette. Radials were pretty new back then and just comming on the market. That car and the moon landing will forever be linked in my soul.  :yesnod:
    :scratchchin: That model won some contests back then though i no clue now as to where it ended up...  :shruggy:

HAHA!  Yeah  but it gets old after a while. It is about time to go check it out again.  In the winter when the tree's lose their leaves I can see the rockets!

I only got to spend an afternoon there, we did it and the salt mine in one day.

NOT enough time.

Next time, I'm spending a week at the Cosmosphere.

Might have to leave the ol' lady home for that one.

CiCi's pizza was awesome,too... :2thumbs:

That's amazing! It was a big deal in my house. We made popcorn, sat in front of the TV, glued to every second. And yeah I'm ancient!

The part that saddens me, truly saddens me, is that it's been 37 years since we landed humans on another celestial body.
Maybe I just read too much science fiction, but where's the lunar colony, the asteroid mining stations, the unified space research effort? Compared to annual global defense budgets, the amount doled out to research needed for mankind to leave this planet and spread (something I'd say will become a requirement if we're to survive as a race at this rate) is ridiculous...  :Twocents:

As to the fake landing issue -



Just reconcile yourself to the idea that NASA probably staged some of those gorgeous clear publicity photos of the moon landing.  Possibly even some video footage too.  If you buy into this one relatively plausible idea, it already explains the majority of all the conspiracy arguing points.  


It was a complex mission from a complex era.  It wouldn't surprise me if the official story has been somewhat "polished" in places, but that doesn't mean it was all faked.

On their argument about the flag.  Maybe there wasnt enough gravity to pull the lightweight flag so that it hangs down..?  possible?  i dont know, just thinking out loud.

Russia was making better progress than we were for awhile there and if they had gotten to the moon first it would of come out that they were "better/stronger" than the US and we couldn't have that. as soon as we "said we had done it, they stopped trying to go

another thing is that several photos of different areas of the moon have EXACTLY the same background as other photos from different trips

i don't believe everything i'm told on the tv or in the paper but if its told on a MOPAR forum then it must be gospel :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
