    getting to the moon was a bit of a coup over the Russians in the space/arms race. Obviously they would be tracking anything we sent up. Does anybody think they would not have jumped at the chance to humiliate the US if they knew we didn't get there?

    I agree. I doubt, even within the US, that with all the people who had to be involved, someone wouldn't have blabbed by now if it was a hoax. My second cousin was married to the chief engineer. He enjoyed all the hoax jokes. :D

    Interesting fact:
    A cell phone has more computing power than the computers used in the Apollo 11 moon landing.

    I saw something like that a half-century ago.

    Not a hoax! My father worked as a consultant for NASA helping the team that had to get the math right for making the rendevous for their return. He verified that the genius math of Katherine Johnson was in fact spot on. No way would NASA have gone to all this expense and work if the mission was a hoax. If not for Katherine Johnson, they would never have made it back.

    The movie about Katherine Johnson is full of false racial promotion. Katherine herself said she never had to walk across a lot to get to a restroom. She had one very close to her office. It made me sick to watch that movie that pushed a FALSE racial agenda over the real story and that was that Katherine experienced little discrimination from lesser coworkers and no discrimination from the team of scientists who all regarded her as the genius she was. There were no "white" heroes saving the day against racism because there was no racism among the scientist. My father always said scientists saw each other's minds, not sex or race are anything else. It disgusted me that her legacy was tarnished by the fool that scripted the movie for profit and promoted racism and making her a hero in the civil rights movement which she says she was not. She just did her job and loved every minute of it. Also, she was a lot lighter skinned than the woman they picked to play her part in the movie and also had a less confrontational attitude.

    Yes, the moon landing did happen and wasn't a hoax.

    First of all, I like your comment. That's not to say I agree with it all.
    More importantly; I'm told I was rude to you and that's probably right. I apologize.

    Playing in the park as a boy with all my mates, we used to listen to the Park-Keeper tell stories.

    He used to say to us, "What colour was the Moon last night?"

    We would say,"Yellow, it was yellow."

    "That's because it's made of cheese," he would reply.

    So, if Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, why didn't he bring back lots of cheese? :)
