Good point Gia. Too many people throw away common sense while “trying to keep an open mind”.

Contrary to what many hoax-believers think, believing that the Moon landings were faked is NOT “keeping an open mind”. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Surely they are incapable of understanding that human beings can put their minds together and work together in order to achieve something so mind-bogglingly remarkable – for all mankind.

Looking at the world today – and how it’s always been – it’s really difficult to believe that warring, fighting, arguing, bickering, petty PEOPLE could *ever* do something as remarkable as stepping off our tiny planet and venturing into the cosmos. Believing that human beings *can* do that requires one’s mind to be vastly open.

Moon hoax believers are close-minded, negative, distrustful and fearful. Doesn’t sound like a happy place to be. I’d rather be in the stars.

July 1969, I was 13 and my brother and I watched the first moon walk in the early morning in a Heathrow airport hotel waiting for our flight to Karachi to be with our parents

back in 2002, Buzz Aldrin “allegedly” smacked a conspiracy nut (with a history of harrassing astronauts). No charges wer laid

Slightly off topic, but apropos of conspiracy theories – I always thought that large-scale conspiracies weren’t possible because someone was going to talk. That is until I read Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. The Holocaust was both meticulously documented AND completely secret until after the war ended. When humans put their cleverness to evil purpose, anything is possible.

Good to see this technology moving in this direction. My gut tells me that NASA will end up learning, too. With enough engagement, they’ll have data on all kinds of contingencies. Better than that, you know “the kids” are going to find capabilities in the environment that nobody expected, potentially leading to whole new applications or even technologies. Can you imagine a revolutionary propulsion system developed by half-a-million 15 year olds? I can.

So you go, NASA! Makes me proud to be a Yank. Talking of which, time to go watch the national side take on the Swedes. (Yes, we know about the beautiful game here, too. Poor Fulham, which should be every American’s BPL side.)

[...] sometimes strikes with the feedreader. I’ve just read these two posts from Gia and from JP which refer to conspiracies of truth around the Moon Landings. However, I do love the idea of NASA [...]
