      How does it feel knowing it was one of the largest hoaxes pulled on human species ever? If you'd do more research than just trusting government to do it for you, then you'd see why we haven't gone back to the moon, why we CANT go to the moon and why NASA states we are Unable to return to the moon. It's all one giant compartmentalized show for the masses to absorb a facade of workmanship and intellectual achievements, thus creating billions of dollars of income for the government to provide nothing but some pictures and some depressed ex astroNOTS who repeatedly tell us the truth when they can(i.e. interviews, albeit extremely rare) but those astroNOTS also tended to live pathetic lives after their amazing "accomplishments" supposedly completing one of man kinds greatest achievements. Ask yourself why Neil Armstrong said what he did during debriefing and during the one press conference after they "returned". They couldn't even keep their lies straight, some saw stars and some stated stars are not capable of being seen. They were depressed, alcoholics, solemn and didn't represent the type of men who actually went to the moon and accomplished something never done before of such magnitude. It's sad that even 10 year Olds can see through the B.S. that Nasa promotes as reality. Grown adults are so indoctrinated they will go to their graves actually believing we can go into "space". Get a telescope and look for the 28k satellites flying around us, you won't find them. Do some research please and then seek answers to the reasons why they would do such a thing as to cause this belief system for billions of humans. They control everything you think you know and they always will with such intellectually ill-equipped individuals within our society.

      @JZ's BFF Living with love does not equate to pandering to lies that continue to be perpetuated amongst generation after generation. But i agree with your sentiment. Conspiracy also does not equate to falsehoods, it merely means a group of individuals conspiring, and if one believes that those in power do not conspire for their own agendas, then they have much to learn. Noone knows it ALL, however to see the forest for the trees is a wonderful take on these scenarios throughout the world.

Light combat means I quarded the forward maintenance facility. We routinely receivied 122 mm rocet attacts, never more then about 35 in a row. These would make a hole 4-5 ft deap and maybe 6 ft accross. I never new anyone injured but had several VERY close calls!

The term "software engineer" didn't even exist at that time because the person who coined the term "Software Engineer" was the woman who wrote all of the software for guidance computer - Margaret Hamilton... the first actual software engineer.

    The idea that the LEM was 'short-fueled' on mission 10 is not as I've understood it. I gather that Grumman had a LEM they could get TO the moon, but not a lander which could then take off. It was too heavy. Still, since 8 was not to actually land, the lander available was fine for dress-rehearsal. For 11, obviously the LEM was the lightened, lunar-rated vehicle. There were no efforts to prevent an unauthorized landing except the full knowledge on the part of the astronauts that the lander was overweight , a suicide if used.

      Shepard would have been the first man in space because MR-3 (Freedom-7) was originally scheduled for April 26, 1960. It was postponed five times by unplanned preparatory work and Gagarin, who launched almost a year later, took the accolade much to Shepard's irritation.

Dad went from praising American ingenuity and guts on one channel to cussing hippies and Communists on another channel. “Those GD SOB’s are ruining our country”!! I use to laugh at him as a kid and a teenager, then he died one day when I was in college and now I completely understand his concerns and I’m not laughing anymore. He was a Naval officer in WWII and fought in the Pacific against Japan. As soon as he graduated from the Naval Academy he went to war!! A different world from the one he raised me in.

      NASA is operating a program called Artemis right now. Artemis I has already happened. It was an unmanned mission around the moon and back. Artemis II will be that same basic mission profile, but manned. Artemis III is set to be a manned lunar landing. It HAS been a while. It's time to go back.
      There was a race to the moon in the Apollo era. The U.S. won. The National support for a lunar program dwindled, so congress voted to cut funding for that program. It costs money to send men to the moon, so things settled down for a long time. And now - a new generation who wasn't around to see those lunar landings is excited to go do it again, and there is a public push to do it again, so they are doing it again. The large gap between Apollo and Artemis makes perfect sense if you're not just an unthinking nutjob.

      It was always a race to the moon. The goal of every single NASA mission was to further advance the program on the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Both Russia and the U.S. had their share of firsts - and nobody denies Russia's firsts. It was back and forth for a while, and the U.S. started pulling away, and then ultimately won by putting a man on the moon. That was always the finish line. The "space race" was the whole journey. The finish line was always putting a man on the moon. It's why to this day Russia still hasn't put a man on the moon. I can assure you, they could have if they continued running after the United States crossed the finish line, but they stopped running - - - because the U.S. crossed the finish line first, and the race was over. The finish line was absolutely landing a man on the moon. It's why Russia stopped running.

    No, they lost the Space Race but moved the goal post to become the Moon Race where they would win. The goal post of the Space Race was to enter outer space's official boundary and return to Earth safely, which USSR won. For the moon landing, the US won the Moon Race doing the same thing but with the surface of the Moon and heading back involved.
    These are still magnificent achievements of mankind, but we can’t just erase the accomplishments of rivals, just swallow the bitter pill and establish the new race upfront, like I just retroactively applied “Moon” Race.

China, The European union, and now India might beg to differ on the idea of the race being over!!

      Every program NASA operated, every mission - had the ultimate goal of putting a man on the moon. Every mission had a goal to achieve some aspect of a final mission profile to the moon. That was ALWAYS the ultimate goal. Every mission's goal was putting a man on the moon. The finish line was always clear. The Russians were trying to put a man on the moon just the same. They knew what the finish line was. Why have they STILL not put a man on the moon? It's not because they couldn't have - because I can assure you, the Russians could have put humans on the moon by now, so why haven't they? Because they stopped running toward the finish line when the U.S. won the race. That's why.
      And saying the USSR beat the Americans in almost every aspect is absolute nonsense. They BOTH had their equal share of firsts. It was very much a back and forth race until the Apollo program started, and then the U.S. started pulling away pretty fast, and then crossed the finish line with Apollo 11.

    American history told by Americans is always interesting. 😀 Read the comments left by people who know real history. 😀

      When you lose so bad you run off towards a new direction and declare victory after having lost everything else
