who says we couldn't get there today?

there's nothing pertinent to be gained from the expense required to visit the moon.

That to me is the true test. If the original moon landings were legit, it should be very easy and cheap to pull out the old plans and specs and build a new rocket/landing craft based on the same 1960s technology.

If the Apollo program was such a rousing success, why does NASA think that it would take a completely reengineered and brand new design to get to the moon a second time? Is it because they know that the original tin cans were never designed to actually go anywhere that didn't involve being loaded in the back of a truck first?

Remember, we couldn't even keep our nuke technology secret, wikileaks, etc etc etc....yet somehow we have kept the fake moon landings secret for 40 years and the Russians, Chinese and most of the other major world powers are in on it with us. LOL.
This doesn't seem too hard to do. If the Illuminati think its in their benefit for the rest of us to think we went to the moon, their puppet regimes in Japan, USSR, and China would fall in line. As for the debris left behind that can be seen today, that could have been planted there by unmanned vehicles. How many "top secret" payloads did the shuttle take up?

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Yep, that sounds like something to inspire people to start thinking about uniting humanity under a single centralized world government.

for the same reason you don't see a lot of Model A Fords sitting at the dealership.

Is the one still standing that said we come in peace as we bombed the Hell out of North Vietnam?

I mean you should learn about Space Exploration since you will then be able to argue your point and use some info based in facts.

As for this moon landing, it still hasn't peaked my interest, so I am done with this thread.

well why did you bring up a topic and when you Refuse to learn about it and it is something that you should atleast learn about since it is important.
hey, I just asked a question. What is important to you, isn't to me. I think space exploration is a total waste of money. Let private do it, or some other country spend their money and resources to feed your curiosity. GuynTexas has just eaten your lunch! Why do people like you spend so much of your time trying to debunk the conspiracies, considering yourselves superior in your ignorance, instead of attempting to find the truth?
Lastly, the little bit of references that I did look at, said the moon has roughly 1/6th the gravity that we do, so you wouldn't require that much of a blast to send you into orbit. I am thinking out loud, without knowing or caring about any of this stuff - some of us do that, and it's not against the law yet.

and 9/11 and Obama's lack of eligibility and who shot JFK etc., some lies persist, but that doesn't make them any more true.

When I first saw the thread title I thought is was going to be about Shiela Jackson Lee who confused our landing on the moon and the rover landing on mars. She asked if the Rover would be near one of the flags our astronauts planted. I admit the congresswoman from Texas is amusing in a sad way.

please claud, you have no interest in the truth. the only information you'll accept is that which agrees with your conspiracy views, fact or fiction. any truth that contradicts those beliefs you quickly dismiss. i've asked you repeatedly to point out in the birther threads anything i've posted which is false...... still waiting on that.
