  1. I recall this well, even though I was only 10 years old. Good ol' American ingenuity at its best. Both by the men on the ground at mission control, and especially those 3 men in that capsule.

    1. Yeah, while cruising around the moon and back they rigged up an oxygen supply system with an old sock, a cardboard tube and a roll of duct tape. You really believe those fresh-faced men just spent a week in a metal box in space?
      If you do I have an aircraft carrier you might like to buy.

  2. Nobody went to the moon. Nor did they circle it. I used to believe all of it, just like the 9/11 "event", which I believed for a couple of days, there's far too much evidence available that contradicts these impossible scenarios. This is a little girl, Zoey, interviewing Buzz Aldrin. At the 17:15 moment in the video Buzz admits we never went to the moon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4UP6nRMuGs

    1. Correction: the question occurs at the 7:10 moment in the video. Buzz's honest reply follows her inquiry.

    3. You're right... it does sound as though he's saying we haven't been back ever since we went there. I still don't believe anyone went there. I'm in the middle of reading Moon Man by Bart Sibrel. Added to the many dubious facts I've encountered over the years this book is an indictment.

  4. Not knowing one way or the other I'm inclined to believe all facets of the us gov't have been lying for many decades. With a decent telescope, can anyone see the "evidence" on the surface of the moon? You know, the billions of dollars worth of stuff the us gov't is in the habit of leaving behind (fuk the taxpayers).

  5. I always found it interesting that they had to replace Ken with Jack Swigert for the filming of the fake mission....hmmmm....because of fear of an outbreak of some freaking childhood disease?....is it at all possible that they really did try to go to the moon?....nah....
