[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8205288, member: 42040"] First, I'm not saying that we definitely didn't go. I'm saying that if it came out that it was hoaxed, I'd simply shrug and say, "I'm not surprised. The whole thing seemed a little fishy anyway." So here's the issue. The moon landing was in 1969. We can't even do that today if we wanted. I remember Obama saying during his presidency that he'd like to see us get to the moon in a few decades. How can the tech to have done this in the 1960s have regressed so far that we can't do it now ... easily? We haven't been back since the early 1970s. It was exciting for a few years, and we just never cared again? All of a sudden? We would have had every reason to lie about it. We were at the height of the space race of the Cold War and the Soviets had beaten America on nearly every front. I'm not saying it was a lie. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised. [/QUOTE]
