What gets me is that these whack-a-doodles never, ever seem to consider that the rest of the goddamned motherfucking world was listening in to all of this using their own technology. For fucking out loud, it would have been impossible to dupe Russia, China, Canada, Australia, The UK, India, Germany, and about a dozen other technologically savvy countries at the time. ---

If the Moon landings are faked, why haven’t we got around to faking a Mars landing by now? I guess we don’t fake landings until we have the technology to actually do it, but just don’t because we don’t feel like it. ---

I guess we don’t fake landings until we have the technology to actually do it, but just don’t because we don’t feel like it. I did a simulated Mission to Mars in middle school. It was so much fun! I was the mission reporter. I wanted to be the one of the two who were picked to go outside the ship and pretend to walk around Mars, but oh well. It was still memorable. ---
