watergate.info — On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon. The following speech, revealed in 1999, was prepared by Nixon's then speechwriter, William Safire, to be used in the event of a disaster that would maroon the astronauts on the moon:

This means that there's an "If Obama Didn't Make it" speech.

Dumbass. Everyone knows "who gets to go first?" was settled with rock-paper-scissors.

That's what he gets for not having the balls to raise his hand when their superior asked "So, who wants to go down somewhere we've never gone and may kill you just for being there first?"

Ok, I stand corrected, we don't have a telescope large enough to resolve something that size from this distance (it's possible, but you'll need a mirror several times the size of Hubble's to do it). You can still bounce a laser off of it - a well focused laser beam will only expand to a circle of about 7km at that range, and with the right equipment you will see the return. You'll need a VERY powerful laser, and pretty sensitive equipment to pick up the return, but it's possible, and we do it REGULARLY.

"Actually, there is a certain amount of truth to the claim that a fair number of the moonwalkers DID find the experience very religious and went on to lead lives as preachers or ministers."To apply this fact to the hoax theory, it would lend support to it. They no longer thought that man could escape the planet without celestial help, as the Van Allen radiation belt could not be penetrated. Just because they may have lied about it, doesn't mean they were evil people. There could be very good reasons we simply don't know about. Keep reviewing the photos and find out more about the Van Allen belt. Watch "A funny thing happened on the way to the moon". You'll laugh, you'll cry...

There is still reasonable doubt, after all these years. I could not convict them of going to the moon. They are innocent until proven guilty, but possible they are guilty. They kind of act like it.

Too bad Nixon anticipated something like this but he couldn't prepare for what was to come, the Watergate scandal.<a class="user" href="http://www.mzcap.com/">http://www.mzcap.com/</a>

Why don't we ask questions about the camera that took those pictures in those extreme temperatures? What is better than youtube here, is that you can vote it down out of your prejudice, but the comment can still be read.Film is very temperature sensitive. Please tell me how NASA solved that one. And NO guessing.
