"Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".......40 Years ago

40 years ago today Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the moon.

Awesome history we don't need to forget.

Oh, ha ha. Almost got me with that one.

Walk on the moon, my ass.

Thats a good one. Is that stuff like photoshopped or what? Be cool if someone really did go to the moon someday. Prolly the Chinese will get there first.

I really hope you are joking.

Is Bentwrench high?

There are many that say the moon landing was faked. The evidence to support them is pretty compelling. I personally don't give a shit since they will never do anything on the moon anyhow. I wonder though, if they got there, why haven't they gone back with the technology we have now?

NASA is working on going back to the moon. They are scheduled to be there again by 2020. The reason it will take so long is they have to build a complete new rocket and space craft to get them there and back. There mission will be to setup labs on the moon and to spend weeks, not days there. It will be a stopping point for a human trip to Mars.

I have seen the NASA plans. I don't see it happening.

We haven't had the resources to go back to the moon lately... Think about it, going to the moon was the major goal when they did it, and all of our resources were going towards that... Now, we can't make that our #1 priority with our troops all over the world and whatnot...

Actually most of our resources were going to Vietnam 40 years ago. Our troops were still scattered. Have been since WWII at the least.

Agreed. During the moon landings, the majority of our resources were going to Vietnam.

I think it would be a moral booster for the American people. Although no one cares about anything but themselves anymore. No one has nor takes pride in their countries accomplishments.

I guess I said it wrong, lol... NASA was given alot more resources to do a moon landing in the 60's... I think it would be a great thing... A moon landing would not only be a morale booster, but would give a better research platform for deep space studies... I think we can do it... I think it might be a stretch, and it might take a few years, but I think it's a good goal...

Morale, not moral.

You don't believe in the Moon Landings?

HERE, HAVE THIS!

Gah... I hate when I make a grammar mistake, lol...

That's alright, it didn't start with you.
