I don't see why it's so hard to believe. Humans can do great things when they wish to. Even without computers (which they did have).

I think going to the moon is one of mankinds greatest achievements....& frankly, I'm quite proud to be from the only nation to ever do this.

Give these acomplishments & people who did them the respect that they deserve & aknowledge that it happened.

There's no reason to fake it.

Sounds like you have had some great experiences on this subject.

I live in Houston where Mission Control is located. Been there several times....also very cool.

There was one BIG reason to fake it, The Cold War. But it was real, don't think that the technology then is anything near what it is now, but it was definitely good enough to make it to the moon.

I've personally seen a Saturn 5 rocket like the one that took the Astronaughts to the moon. It's on display along with many of the other rockets that helped develop the Apollo program.

It's friken huge! Just looking at it puts you in a state of awe.

maybe mars has some hot alien -----

Anywho, people with their gov't conspiracies, they are quite humerous to me.

NASA aka the smartest people on the planet thats why they could get a man on the moon. The reason the computer wasnt in every house hold basically comes down research and development. They had to find away to make something cost effective and work well....things take time. As Americans i know we like instant gratification...but com'on. How good would sex be if you only got one pump in before you shoot your load??
