Don't get me started on this conspiracy theory rubbish. Of course we landed on the moon. I was 7 at the time & watched with fascination at the grainy images unfolding on our schools b/w tv.
Conspiracy theorists are never happy & even if we could see the rovers (not even the most powerful scope on earth can see them-they're too small) those conspiracists would say that was a fake . Even if we returned to the moon & brought home a lander or rover, they'd claim that to be faked too.Get over it conspiracy theorists - go back to your Bermuda Triangle theories or Big foot theories but we did land so accept it ok........... :-)

Slice,

You got ripped off! We weren't charged for sauce where I lived when man stepped on the moon.

Matches were free if you bought cigarettes and every pack of rolling tobacco came with a free pack of roley papers.

Also the pickled onion was free with fish and chips (if you wanted one).

Wow times change! Give me back the good ol' days.

I know it was free. 7c with or 7c w/out
20c for lunch...7c for a pie with sauce + medium coke 13c =20c.
Eat the pie..drink the coke...cash the bottle back in ..5c..and get a kitchener bun...not bad value.

Matches were 2c a box....you didnt get them free with crackers.LOL

Ken good to see you picked it. $2 now 7 c then. Bit like your reference to the good ol' days. To a lot of people "now" will be the good ol' days.

What people have learnt, be it right or wrong, "is to question everything".

The answer should still be the same, but unfortunately with all the resources available, people get caught up in all the hype and judgement is clouded.

They don't look to prove, they find it easier to discount a fact because it is easier. They cannot accept reality.

However it is their right to question.

We also have the right to reject their conclusion. Is what makes the world go round.

Me, I agree with you, but I don't let it get to me.

Neither do I coz we can't go back. I accept and move on and try make my kids present a delightful past when they are older. Their memories will have the same effect as ours, only different subjects!

When I tell my kids I watched Man walk on the Moon on telly they just look blank and say "that's nice".
