Zingy, take this from an Apollo FANATIC, this thread started off as a p!sstake of LANCE Armstrong. Just an spooky co-incidence.
I know, spooky. I had to come on here straight away to see if there was something Milk knew that we didn't. Bet he's freaked out, something you would see in a scary film.
f**k me. Just heard the new now. The Co-incidence is shocking... It is a shame though, that was originally a very good joke. Just kidding, RIP Neil.
Neil Armstrong, who reportedly wrote his smash hit "What a Wonderful World" whilst on route to the moon, has died aged 82. RIP
Holy cow! No no way in hell I would have posted this if I knew he was going to die. Rip Neil, a legend.
Odd coincidence. Sad to think there are so many who buy into the conspiracy theory that they never really went. It was a big moment in my young life. RIP
Saint, the same yokels said the same things about Columbus, Magellan and Cook. Bottom line is, even without mentioning laser rangefinders and moonrocks, the crafts were tracked by radio telescopes from al over the world (including the Soviets) all the way there and back (the telemetry is still on display at Jodrell Bank). It was actually the radio messages they tracked to get a fix on their position - how the hell could that be faked? Apart from that, when Apollo 13's oxygen tank exploded it formed a visible cloud of debiris hendreds of yards wide that could be seen visibly with telescopes all over the world. i could go on.... this is about Neil and what he (and ALL those brave men, including the Soviets) gave to the world. In hundreds of years time I truly believe my ancestors will make school field trips to the moon, and how the chidren. looking at those famous footsteps will sneer at those idiots who believed this was faked.
I think the conspiracy theorists tend to be people who just like to scorn everything Americans do tbh. Now I love taking the piss out of the yanks as much as anyone (ask Bluff), and they're such easy targets a lot of the time, but I have no reason to doubt the validity of the space program (programme- they can't spell either). It was a great achievement, and those who did it should get the credit they deserve.
Taken by Neil and you can see Neil in the reflection, but it's mainly an iconic image of the accomplishment he was part of. I think the photos are made better by the fact you don't see their faces.
