There actually is some goofballs that believe it never happened. That it was all a fake.
Now this is creepy. Nixon's letter to the nation if they did not return.
Text of William Safire’s speech for President Richard Nixon in the event of a disaster besetting Apollo 11.
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

I do have my doubts-When they can put man on moon-but cell service is sketchy.
The old "They can put a man on the moon, but they can't................."
Right, arista?
There's a guy who thinks sK killed John Lennon. There are people who believe that the Earth is flat. It takes all kinds.
It was several hours between landing and the actual walk if I remember right. Can you imagine Buzz and Neil in that tiny lander waiting to be the first humans to walk on the moon? I'm sure they were busy preparing to go out, but still. Anticipation.............
What did people say before the moon landing? "Well, they can... well, they can't put a man on the moon, but they can't fix THAT DAMN POTHOLE EITHER."
You better be nice, or you'll be celebrating Depp all week........We're celebrating the moon in this thread not Uranus.
The old "They can put a man on the moon, but they can't................."
