Re: OT. Where they really on the moon?
I certainly wouldn't put it past our government to try to fool us, but there is no way that they could cover up such a hoax. At the least, there would be Congressmen and Senators that were privy to that information, and that is a guarantee that it would be leaked.
Think of how much harder it would have been to cover up a fake moon landing than to cover up Watergate, and they were unable to do that.

Uh Houston, this is Buzz. I think Neal tripped over something. Looks like a large footstool shaped rock.

Re: OT. Where they really on the moon?
or the "Van Nuys" belt
"Houston, we have a problem, there is some hippy out here trying to sell Buzz some weed, two mexican gardeners are putting window boxes on the Eagle lander and two kids have stolen the moonbuggy and are joy-riding"
"Eagle? stone-groove man"

Hey stop making fun of Dutch names!
(but yes it's true, names like Dick and Dirk are actually quite popular down here...most parents are probably unaware of what it translates to in English

OK. That doesn't mean we have to stop taking the piss out of the Van Allen belt though. Watch:
Of course, worse than any of these is the Woody Allen belt (you see what I did there?). That's a field of neurotically charged particles ion orbit around New York... |

This is probably the only accurate statement that came from the documentary, as you described it. Nixon did indeed have a disaster script made ready. I heard about this years ago, so I can't quote you the source. |
