On one side then the other side
"There are a quarter of a million people who worked on the project. It would be impossible to keep that many people quiet about the conspiracy," Plait said. Also, there are some 900 pounds of lunar rocks and material that astronauts brought back from the moon that geologists agree are clearly from the moon and not from this planet"
Both stances make sense
It is just really hard to believe

it sounds like you are getting the space program and star wars mixed up. [Reply]
whatever dude, just because your team lost, don't take it out on me.:-)
no need to get defensive, but your first statement describes the goal(and final result) that Regan wanted with SDI. Yes our goal was to fool the russians, heck that's still our goal, that's politics, but that is not an arguement that backs the no moon landing stance.

it was in the sense of the space race and the arms race. we thought the russians were much closer to the moon than they actually were. In the end though, you have to walk the walk and do it.

we were there...
Of course we were. It's not hard to get to the moon, it's hard to get off the ground. Most of the danger is getting out of the atmosphere and IN to space. Troubles can always arise (obviously, in light of yesterday's tragedy) but the greatest dificulty was getting INTO space. Not traveling once there. [Reply]
