I was about 5 at the time and vaguely recall it happening, so really pleased there's been a fair bit of coverage of this. A good drama-doc last week on the BBC, quite a few more this week to mark the launch tomorrow and the landing on Saturday. Amazing that we had the Wright Brothers' first flight only about 70 years previous to this. Man can be a right git, if only he did more of this instead of killing each other.
I do, but then I am also a member of the Flat Moon Society.Pfft, completely fake. Don't tell me you sheeple believe in the moon.
You could be right! There have been things named after the Sun (snoozespaper), the Star (another snoozepaper), Galaxy, Milky Way, Mars bar - all chocy bars. But have you ever heard of anything named after the moon? No? Didn't think so. That's mighty strange!Pfft, completely fake. Don't tell me you sheeple believe in the moon.
First one to mention the song, "Moon River" is OUT! …….. Doh!! :banghead:You could be right!

How about the ex mad drummer with The Who ?First one to mention the song, "Moon River" is OUT! …….. Doh!! :banghead:
Who??How about the ex mad drummer with The Who ?
Keith Moon was an alien and came from outer space. If you don't believe me ask David Icke !Who??
Pfft, completely fake. Don't tell me you sheeple believe in the moon.
Some people claim it was faked and all filmed in a Hollywood studio.
Not saying I believe that myself but I wouldn't put it past the US government.
After all, they did cover up the UFO crash-landing in Roswell.
A reporter went up to Buzz Aldrin a few years ago and asked him" hey Buzz, is it true you faked the moon landing ?"
Buzz never spoke instead punched the reporter in the face and decked him. The reporter definitely saw stars then !
Why hasn't anyone been up there since the early 70s? You'd think that some prat like Richard Branson would have gone up by now considering that they managed to do it fifty years ago with a few cornflake boxes and a calculator.
Yeah, you turn around & pull yer kegs down to show someone yer arse in disrespectYou could be right!

Because they found nothing of great use at the time? The cost of building some kind of truly practicable base there would be astronomical (pardon the pun) especially with the knowledge we had (& still have really) about what we might achieve by going back or especially beyond.Why hasn't anyone been up there since the early 70s?

Last time I heard something along those lines they quoted the Samsung S8 having greater computing power than the Saturn V rocket technology.I read somewhere that if you totalled the memory up of all the computers that were needed to send man onto the moon, it would still be smaller in size than your average home computer nowadays!

I stayed up all night to watch it, as did at least one very geeky school friend. Got bored at one point while waiting for the moon walk and heated some soup up on the stove only to find the bread I dunked in it had gone off over the weekend and now tasted like like pure peniclilin!
Not been back?? Wallace & Gromit had a Grand Day Out there back in the late 80’sWhy hasn't anyone been up there since the early 70s?

I think space and the planets are amazing, and really we should be spending a hell of a lot more money exploring the solar system and beyond. The Saturn V rocket is amazing!
The Soviets tried once and failed spectacularly. It was kept secret at the time.Only Americans have walked on the moon though. You'd think that Russia, China and the big powers would have wanted to put their people up there as a show of power?
The moon is hollow and was constructed by aliens as a base from which to spy on us. The John Lewis Christmas advert hinted at this a few years ago.
When I think about space too much I get a bit fed up about the unrelenting nothingness and how my life has zero impact on anything and that me and my family will be turned to dust and forgotten about forever.
Then I have a wank and feel better about it all.
