Thank you Buzz. God, that must have felt so good to nail that guy in the face. Nice punch for an old man too. I wouldn't want to take that shot.

We did it, because America. That, and we had Nazi rocket scientists.

Just look at the SR71. It was designed with NO computers at all. Just slide rules and genius. It is still WAY beyond what any other country has ever built for speed and altitude. Nothing can touch it. Not even close.

SR71 was clearly a lie. Just a regular plane all gussied up with lots of stories of high speed circulated to make it seem like America has a technological edge. Every pilot who claims to have flown it is in on the scam. Wake up, Sheeple.

They are computer generated. Every digital photo is computer generated Does your friend think they sent film back?? Computer generated does not mean fake........Your friend is still an 1D10T though.

Calling a man who flew combat missions over Korea, not to mention landing on the moon a "coward", is playing with fire. That clown was looking for a response but I don't believe that was it.

As wdfifteen mentioned there is a whole clip on youtube of that nut stalking Apollo astronauts and harassing them. After a heated debate I believe he did actually get Gene Cernan to swear on the bible.

In any interview I've ever seen of the Apollo astronauts they always seem like calm, level-headed and highly competent individuals, giving detailed descriptions of their missions. The moon-hoax crowd tend to come across like that guy: raving lunatics.

Yea, for the most part the astronauts are very level headed. In the movie Apollo 13 the one fact that really strayed from the reality was the argument and raised voices on board. They added that for dramatic effect. In reality they remained very professional even in the face of a high probability of death.

I have a few friends that are very smart, and others not so...call it balance. The mix provides hours of endless enjoyment and sometimes my head gets dizzy from shaking it...either back and forth or up and down!

But, I think computers are a scam and not really real.
So I dont see how the pictures could be computer generated.

Show them a sliderule and ask if they know what it is.

I don't think the Pluto mission was fake. It is a scam, though. Like climate change; it's real and somebody is making a living at it.

I think it would be cool if it came out that it was faked just so those of you calling people idiots would feel like idiots.

There is no moon!

It was destroyed in the 90's in a botched death ray experiment... it is now just a hologram!

Thanks for sharing the clip. Have never seen that one.

More of Armstrong - this book is a terrific read. Shame they don't push this in the schools. Inspire the youth.
