Given my busy social calendar I'm sure you'll forgive my lax pontificating.
Today's Subject:
The 40th Anniversary of NOT GOING TO THE MOON!
That's right. I don't believe we got there. Sort of a real-life Capricorn One if you ask me.
Here's my reasoning. The Wright Bros. invent the airplane doohickey and take flight in 1903. By the 40's and 50's we barely had commercial air travel. But all of a sudden in 1969 (during a cold war we were desperate to win) we land a man on the moon. I don't believe it.
In all, the claim is 12 people have walked on the moon. Why didn't the Russians get there. Because we didn't actually go. Somewhere, deep in the southwestern desert we staged it all. Bet.
Now more to back up my wisdom. After the whole moon thing goes away, NASA designs the Space Shuttle. A ship that piggybacks on a rocket to take off. Why in the world would you design a ship that can't actually land anywhere. Unless the moon or nearby planets have a ready-made rocket factory we don't know about.
