We could send them there, the ultimate proof that it can be done.
And a 1 way trip would be cheaper

Man it's hard to believe it's been almost 50 years. Wow where did the time go?

Well 46 years since Apollo 8, to be precise. But that probably means that most people on Code Project were not born then!

You're probably right all they know of the space program is the ISS. What a shame it was a wonderful time, full of hope and ambition...what happened to us?

Bastards like William Proxmire cut off our nation's balls. We ought to resurrect that f***er just so we can execute him for treason, not just to his country, but to the entire human race.

Yes it is for me also, I was on my second tour in Viet Name when the man landed on the moon.

Of course, I was including you in the "us", and you and I are clearly not the only old farts on here!

The very fact that this is a computer simulation will just play into the hands of the sceptics. Someone needs to do it for real. And someone unconnected with the government of the USA.

What they should do is just point the Hubble at the moon and take a picture of a rover or something just sitting on the moon. At least it will make a different picture for the APOD.
|

|

I always thought it was because the Hubble is design to look at the edges of the universe and not something as close as your navel. Longsighted. I could be wrong, it won't be the first time!

That's an easy argument to judge.
Just completely disregard anything said by the idiot pop singer, and give some credence to the man who knows what he's talking about.

So it's down to a choice between keyboard or drums?

What do you call a madman that hangs around with musicians ... a drummer! :P

Going back to the moon wouldn't convince them.
Taking them there wouldn't convince them.
Shoving them naked out the airlock onto the lunar surface wouldn't convince them, but would provide a certain amusement.

I say steady on old chap! No-one should get thrown out of the airlock, however silly they are.
I agree it wouldn't convince the hard-core swivel-eyed sceptics, but there are a lot of people who's basic argument is "If the Americans went in 1969 why haven't they gone back"? A repeat trip might convince them.

Well, that's probably true. It represents a waste a perfectly useful bio-mass in your lunar ecology. In that case, recycle them into fertilizer.

It would also end a certain drummer releasing any more awful singles.
