Many people dispute the Apollo 11 moon landing, but from a personal point of view I reckon the evidence that they actually did land, and walk on it, is overwhelming.
If Louis Armstrong didn't land on the moon, how come there's an American flag stuck on it then? Who put it there? Also, from what better vantage point could he have written the inspirational 'What a wonderful world'?
I'm sure if the landing was fake, the very modest Armstrong would not have been chosen for the mission. He would have been incapable of bragging about something he didn't achieve. He wasn't one for blowing his own trumpet.
Do you think it was a fake mission?

Have you seen the mythbusters apollo landing ???
Worth a watch

I understand the 'conspiracy theories', that they had to beat the russians onto the moon. But never in a million years do i believe it to be true. You only have to look at how angry buzz aldrin get's when these stupid things are said to him.
Devalueing his massive achievement of being second onto the lunar surface. People just don't want to accept sometimes that what they are seeing is the whole story.
It's an insult to the body of work that all the scientists produced and what the astronauts achieved all those years ago.

The Russians knew that they had landed on the moon or would have broadcast the deception to the world.
Triangulation of the radio signals would prove where they came from.

You're right chaps. I was trying not to be a Tony Handcock impersonator. But East Cheam is just sooo redolent of the narrow minded, blinkered and slightly ridiculous place my joke merited.

Dunno why I thought it was Arthur Dent's address. I've read HHGTTG three times but it never actually mentions his address.
Jemina Gardens, East Cheem does sound like the sort of place he'd live though it weren't for those hideous Vogons with their pesky Hyperspace Expressway.

Charades, could be an off topic thread in its own right.
Thankfully I have never had to mime "Free Willy"..
