- Platysquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+103I'm sorry sir, you've been selected for random screening. Now why exactly did you go to the moon and what did you do while you were there?
- shortarabguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+90Hmm, I wonder how that questioning went...
"Did you ever leave your belongings out of sight? Did you allow anyone else to pack your things?"
"I was on the moon..."
"Sir, please answer the questions." - fugazi, on 10/12/2007, -5/+77Actually it is Dugg not Digged.
- floridiot2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+72Actually it says Departure from: The Moon.
- IareKEVLAR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49Cargo: Moon Rocks, Moon Dust
Haha. - SpectralSounds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47Not only did they get paid to go chill on the moon... But, they got to go to Hawaii after that? Im in the wrong line of work.
- ButterBuddha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46American bureaucracy in all its glory....
- Domiko, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Business or pleasure?
- charliecharlos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Arrival if it had happened today....
"Departure point"
"...the moon."
"Really? Passports please."
"Ummm..... we just came back from the moon. We were on TV and stuff."
"... I'm gonna for you to step over there please with your hands in plain sight. *Goes on radio* We have a couple of possible illegal aliens, requesting back up. Seem to be transporting possible illegal substances, referred to as "moon dust."

- generalsticky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28"What is this sir?"
"Uhhh, moon rocks and moon dust."
"I'm gonna have to take you in for possesion of illegal substances." - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19So that's what the kids are calling it nowadays.
- kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Damn I could get so laid with a fake boarding pass on the space shuttle. Hold on the FBI is at the door...
- Neiby, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19"No, it's not because you're black. We at the TSA do not discriminate, Mr. Armstrongisad. Now, please step over to that line over there and see the man with the rubber gloves on."

this american life did a story last week about cool jobs. the intro was a series of interviews with astronauts. apparently when you go into space, you have to fill out the same form that you have to fill out when you fly anywhere else that is paid for by the government. really funny. - raymore, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Totally. Could be real, but in my mind doesn't make sense....
So they landed in the water(no shuttles back then), then why would the Navy(or other military stem) pick them up from the water, then drop them off at a private airport?
There is this military base called Pearl Harbor, not to mention numerous military airstrips, and not to mention ships. Just sayin'. - mrpapageorgio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7presently they land in florida, in 1969 they did not
- kuzotz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6ahh takes me back to my college days in El Paso when we made beer runs to Mexico..
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yea reading that almost makes me think it was some kind of humorous attempt by customs.
Departure: MOON
Flight Number: Apollo 11 - Influsion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9It's proof that they didn't smuggle any extraterrestrial passengers.
- redfan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Bush and Gonzo would have them held as enemy combatants for visiting the moon, which failed to join the Coalition of the Willing.
- flipmeat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Bring in the moon dust sniffing dogs.
- trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Buzz and the gang should donate their pilot logs to the Smithsonian.
- dadadigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is probably true.
Dave Scott (I hope I have right astronaut) was involved in a scandal. He took some stamps with him to the Moon. Upon his return, these were sold to someone overseas for a hefty premium.
The astronaut didn't think it was a scandal---he was using the money to put his kids through college. NASA disagreed though, and after that, I believe all astronaut's belongings were searched prior to leaving to ensure it wouldn't happen again.
FWIW, the astronaut in question did/does have impecable credentials in every way. So one could see past it. It was one of the many odd stories from that era. - kev110382, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Even if its real it was probably done with a good laugh. Believe it or not, even people at NASA have a sense of humor.
- crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if you were the first person to land on the moon, you would have signed the same way.
- hugehead83, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Waste of time. They should have just landed in Mexico and walked in. Closer to the equator so it would have been easier anyway, right? *tongue in cheek*
- crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"These fine gentlemen have some story to tell. They say they departed from the Moon. Their declared cargo is moondust..."
"Moon dust, huh?"
"Yeah, moon dust. So that's street for?..."
"Dunno, crack, coke, heroin, LSD, maybe like a cocktail"
"Book em"
"Yes, sir"
"From the moon....ha, another day, another crackhead." - bioskope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Probably must have linked it to the 'Moon'inites. I mean if that was the case, it was justifiable in every which way
- tafdc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The neo-con's aren't going to like this.
It's legal proof that the US is not claiming any portion of the moon as US territory.
Even more, it patently recognizes the moon as another soverign country. That
legal notion will be extermely valuable to moon dwellers in the future. For
instance, that means that no Earth nation can tax income or property on the
moon.
This little joke will really steam some folks in the future... - latinjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27 missions to the moon were launched in just over 3 years. We have hours upon hours of video and thousands of photographs and nearly 800lbs of moon rock as well as the personal accounts of over a quarter of a million people who were involved in Apollo's success and this is the most intelligent argument you can make?
- aspartaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Looks real. Its now your turn to prove me wrong.
"And in keeping with this year's EAA theme "Aviation Firsts," Customs presented attendees with a souvenir of the first Customs cargo clearance from the moon. A moon manifest signed in 1969 by Apollo 11 astronauts Commander Neil Armstrong, Colonel Edwin "Buzz" Aldren, Jr., and Lt. Colonel Michael Collins was exhibited listing the clearance of moon rocks and moon dust."
Taken from the U.S. Customs website.

However, NASA didn't have a problem with it as they had no rules against taking small amounts of personal items into space... Congress however...

Here's the working link. The quoted text is indeed on this government site.

- MyDigitalSin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2just in case they are carrying an alien in their stomach...
- Vishap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's the Mooninites, we've got to make sure they don't bring back Mooninites...
You saw what happened to Boston. - Zach978, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Anyone think this thing is a fake???
- way2jaded, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just goes to show that in the good 'ol Nixon days, they really knew how to engineer a good coverup!Without all of the documentation in place (no matter how insignificant), someone was very likely to find out that the moon landing was actually shot on the old Warner Brothers set.... If that ever came out, It could have gone all the way to the top and forced Nixon to resign, thereby changing US history forever
- igorblomberg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Please don't try too make a joke without reading the posts above. The Moon dust-joke was only funny the first two times.
- dist0rtedwave, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I hear they make good cigars up there, cigars and cheese
- krebcycle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2God, what a circle jerk Digg can become.
- STKD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's a great book so that value makes sense...
(Predicting nobody gets the reference digg-down in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... PRE-EMPT.)

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If you look carefully, it wasn't signed by the astronauts. It was signed by their passengers. A Mr. Z'argnog and a Mr. Scree'Bnowkkkk.....
- SeppukuBLUE, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Mooninites?
