I have watched that program about the Apollo 11 moon landing,
and I don't believe it was a hoax.
American astronauts gave their lives in the sixties developing the
technology that was needed for travel in space. I know it happened
as they were preparing for take off, but was it Aollo 7 or 8?.
As has been pointed out, to many people were involved in the space
program for something of this magnitude to happen.
In the movie Apollo 13, Tom Hanks is talking with some people.
They get round to the spiralling costs of the space program, Hanks
agrees with them, and then adds
" we have spent millions on the development of a pen that will write
upside down. then the Russians screwed us by using a pencil."
If we ever get round to living on other worlds, you can bet there will
be a Irish theme Bar on each one.
