If you like seeing stuff about the 1960s Apollo program, this is worth a look-see. There are six eps, and the Science Channel is showing all six tomorrow (at least on my system). Each one details a different “machine” that was necessary for the success of the program, and the obstacles that had to be overcome to achieve it, with interviews with the engineers who worked on it. In one of JFK’s speeches, he claimed that we would go to the moon using technology that had not been invented yet. These detail a lot of the things that had to be “invented,” (or at least greatly improved upon): Ep 1: The Saturn V Rocket Ep 2: The Command Module Ep 3: The Navigation Computer Ep 4: The Lunar Module Ep 5: The Space Suit Ep 6: The Lunar Rover ---

So, still pushing that fantasy that humans have been on the Moon, is that it? [Quote=Earl Snake-Hips Tucker] In one of JFK’s speeches, he claimed that we would go to the moon using technology that had not been invented yet. [/Quote] Maybe, but he’s been dead for decades. Got any actual photos of JFK on the Moon? I didn’t think so. ---

I have pictures of JFK touring the sound stage under The Face on Mars but I’m not going to share them.
