C'mon... people on the moon...
Never happened.
As said before ... today NASA cant get it right but almost 50 years ago they did the whole thing perfectly.
Consider why it happened...
In the sixties Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Malcolm X, John F. and Robert Kennedy all were assassinated. Vietnam and Korean Wars were losses for the US and the Cold War had heated up to the point where the end was closer than anyone ever expected (Cuban Missle Crisis.) The Bay of Pigs was a disaster for the CIA and Russia was getting stronger as they were recruiting Iran and Iraq to their side. Our hopes to get more oil (Afghanistan pipeline) was unfolding, and the rest of the World was starting to think we were weak.
So what did we do. We claim to land on the Moon. Right behind the greatest drug and rock and roll party the world has ever known. (Woodstock).
Now I want every one to think of something the US has done only once...
Cant do it huh?
well the answer is the Moon landing.
It is the only time the something from this planet has landed on another object in space and came back.
Not counting the space station that we sent up there. That doesnt count as they dont land.. they dock.
Why havent we landed on Mars.
Because they cant figure out how...
How to take off from a foreign place (Moon)
From a sociological stand point it was a good thing to say just like it was good to say that there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq so we could invade and get the oil.
Why is this important...
Because we as a people have to stop our Gov'ts from lying to us. They work for us.
We should control them... not the other way around.
