Thank you all for your answers, What I need to know now is ‘Who painted the face that we can all see?’ (We ‘can’ all see can’t we?)
BTW I am still not convinced that the moon is made out of cheese though. The only cow in the sky is Taurus, and you’re not getting any milk out of him.
thanks again
Actually, you could, but it would be all sticky.
Eve was good enough to provide us with that answer ! It was George Melies (sp?). Not only did he give the Moon it’s face, he then shot a rocket into one of it’s eyes !!!
It’s so bad you’d have to spit, not swallow.
…uhh, so I hear.
There’s many who won’t just take Nasa’s word for it and believe it to be a hoax. As I’ve posted in a previous thread:
"Puh-leeze! it is so obviously a hoax that it almost stops being funny.
For one, the rockets that really did go into “space” (really just Near Earth Orbit) are a basic ballistic move, just like old Werner (the father of the U.S.space program) used to play with in Germany. The only difference between shooting from Peenemuende to London and from Florida to the Pacific is one of elevation and duration of propulsion. Whereas going around the moon, let alone landing there & taking off again is so entirely different, it really doesn’t need much thought to determine that the latter by no means is a logical progression from the former.
For seconds, the way the supposed trip to the moon & back was supposed to have taken place is almost an exact replica of a bugs bunny cartoon released in 1954 (!) fully fifteen years before the supposed landing! The level of similarity is stunning, up to and including the concept of a Lunar Module!
In his book “To the Moon” Julius Fern describes how one of the voice actors doing the soundtrack to the supposed landing (he was to be “Neil Armstrong”) was replaced at the last minute because NASA had gotten wind that he was going to say “What’s up-doc?” (as an obscure “in” joke) instead of the pre-planned memorable line. This last minute replacement, by the way, is responsible for the slight fumble in that “Neil Armstrong” line.
For thirds, it is interesting that NASA now finally feels it has sufficient know-how to perform actual interplanetary flight. We all saw how well they did in putting just a box on Mars: they want us to believe that more than 30 years ago (remember that’s even before “Pong” was invented) they were able to put multiple guys on the moon & safely return them? Come on! "
Dylan_73, that was a hoot!
I’m prepared to believe the Moon landings were real, though; if Chairface Chippendale can get up there, surely NASA can!

Don’t forget, Wallace and Grommit went to the moon too. If I’m correct they decided it tasted like Wensleydale.
“Eh I don’t know lad, it’s like no cheese I’ve ever tasted” was the verdict, I believe.
For the sake of accuracy, I must point out that Chairface made the marks from earth. He used a fascinating type of pyrchotronic-extropic-lens.

As a Son Of Ether in good standing, I can confirm NASA landed men on the moon. Just last year I went on an SOE charter bus to the moon. The landing module and flag are still there.
Furthermore, Professor Infinity and his assistants have constructed an 18 hole golf course. We have requested what rule changes must be made for 1/6 g. The PGA has not responded.Ah no, not again, anyway, let me do the work for you:
