Has man really landed/walked on the moon?
Once considered absurd, the radical speculation that the Apollo 11 moon landing mission in 1969 was an elaborately staged fabrication has gained new momentum in recent years.
From the time Kennedy announced the goal to land man on the moon [a place no one had ever been] to the time we saw walking images was less than ten years. Bush's announcement in 2001 to "resend" man to the moon by 2015 means that it will take 46 years to go back to a place we have supposedly already been.
Years ago, when I first saw the movie Capricorn One, I thought the premise was ridiculous. One day ColdSmoke and I got into a pretty good argument about it and I thought he'd gone off his rocker to even question the moon landing, even in a philisophical debate. I believed then, and still believe now, that NASA really pulled it off.
But, many years later, after having lived through the lies, complete denials, and eventual exposure of conspiracies such as Watergate, arms-for-hostages, Whitewater, Monicagate, WMD's, and possibly even Kennedy's assassination, they all can make one wonder if landing on the moon might not have been the most incredible political/military/technological manipulation in the history of the world.
