The moon landing would have been more memorable if Neil and Buzz had returned to the ship to find Barbarella instead of Mike Collins..... :y

But of course the whole thing was faked as these 'very clever chaps' knew all along. :)

Yes that always makes me fall about laughing! ;D ;D ;D ;D

But, of course, we must be open to others viewpoints - until their viewpoints become nonsensical, and especially when a gorgeous, lovely, highly intelligent man like Professor Brian Cox confirms, in such a brilliantly, straightforward, and finally blunt way, states that such views are bonkers!! :D :D :D :-* :-* :-* :-* :y

As for the Moon Landings; yes again, those conspiracy people forget that for it to be fake many thousands of people who were involved in this wonderful piece of human exploration and scientific wonder, would have to been party to the "cover-up", and have kept quite about it for 50 years.  In addition, as I have said many times to various people in the past, this was the height of the Cold War; the Russians would love to have debunked the landings. But, of course, they could not as they knew it was all true as they had been closely monitoring the many flights leading up to, and after, the actual initial landing.

In addition, it has now been stated clearly that President Kennedy even invited the Soviets along to land on the Moon as he saw this as beyond politics, and a tremendous achievement for mankind as a whole. If it had all been fake, why ask that of the Russians, although they turned it down, probably for political reasons?! ::) ::) :D :y

What an achievement and we lived through it all!! 8) 8) 8) :y

24 astronauts went to the moon between 1969 and 1972. The 'cover up' would have needed to be very comprehensive.

I wasn't even a twinkle in days eye.


When I (reluctantly) went to Florida last year, all the Universal Park shite was, well shite, and about $300 each. Kennedy Space centre was about $35 and bloody brilliant.  So if ever you are over there, ignore the parks, go to Kennedy.

We didn't quite get the time to go to Kennedy when we went (in '89) but definitely on the list along with https://www.carolinasaviation.org/ and a couple of the carrier based museums and a whole shit load of other random places and people 8)

I'm hoping to never have to go back there. Ever.

I only spent a week in Orlando, where the stereotypical arrogant Shermans hang out. I spent the 2nd week elsewhere in the state, about 4hrs away.

I didn't really like any of it TBH  :'(.  The postponed wedding that was supposed to happen last year - hence the reason I was there - is now happening this year, but I've said I can't go as I'm washing my hair or something.

You can send toupees off for professional cleaning so that isn't a very good excuse.

Possibly the most pleasant day I've ever had was spent travelling 10 miles down a river in the Missouri Ozarks in a canoe. Then again, that's probably because I didn't see another human being for the whole day. ;D

A mate spent a week canoeing down the Hudson River in New York state a few years ago.  Said it was fab!  :y
