Hmm .. interesting conversation …

(Don't take me too seriously here by the way Chris .. I'm just dancin' around some thoughts because I too have troubles in understanding these folk .. so I respond by trying to open up my mind to a world in which their behaviours make some rational sense .. I hate using the word 'stupid' as a way of dismissing others' views .. (my flaw)… )

The Moon Landings could be viewed as one giant scientific 'experiment' which produced results requiring interpretation .. (which requires a theory of some sort). I guess apart from the inspiration generated by the exercise, the theory directly put to the test by the landings, was the origin of the moon. (There's always a theory lurking in thar somewhere !!).

Cheers
