40th Anniversary of Moon landing

[WestRoadShrimper]

Do those who think themselves so clever as to see through the amazing deception perpertrated for the last 40 years by NASA ever stop to wonder why the people with the most to gain from exposing the fallacy, and the equipment to detect if Apollo was not actually travelling to, landing on, and broadcasting from the moon have never blown the whistle? Or did Kennedy buy off the entire Russian space industry at the time?

Excellent point.

As an extra, didn't the Japanese do something a little while back that proved it happened? Can't remember for the life of me, but I'm sure I saw something along this line.....

'Everyone's Gone To The Moon....'

40 years since the first big suit on the moon and nothing to commemorate on terrestrial TV until 22:35.

The BBC haven't even got a single program on the subject.

Surely something wrong there?

...and from the 'In A Broken Dream' thread:-

"...now bear with me here, Emp, because I know this guy is quite rightly strictly 'persona non grata' nowadays, but perversely, it was when I was a child that this record had a profound effect on me. Believe it or not, it is the record I associate with our primary schooldays and if we're looking at how music can take you back, way back, then this is the defining record of my childhood. Listen with me as I take you through the lines whilst I do my Captain's voice-over..."

Streets full of people all alone
"...I'm walking along Carlton Avenue towards Earls Hall and there's loads of other kids around. It wouldn't happen today, Emp, they get lifts in or they're on the bus. I'm by myself as usual, I'm keen to get there to play football before school starts and I can't wait around..."

Roads full of houses never home
"...I'm remembering those scary council houses just before you get to Rochester Drive. The windows are smashed in and we wondered who lived there. We always used to walk a bit quicker when we went past them, remember..."

Church full of singing out of tune
"...that's St. Peter's Church, in Eastbourne Grove, near where the Greenberg twins lived. Used to go to cubs there on Wednesday nights, too..."

Everyone's gone to the moon
"...ah, the moon landing mate in '69! Do you remember when we were all herded into the hall to watch it? How great was that? Some people say it never really happened though..."

Eyes full of sorrow never wept
"...mmm, ouch, that's my Dad telling me about my mum..."

Hands full of money all in debt
"...well, obvious one really, never much money in our house...grand-dad had to help dad out..."

Sun coming out in the middle of June
"...always seem to remember sunny days as a kid, either that or snow..."

Everyone's gone to the moon
"...in the hall at school again, remember that 'team points' board they'd total up in there at the end of the week? Amazing...seemed to matter so much to us..."

Long time ago life had begun
"...and seemed so full of hope! Whatever happened, mate?"

Everyone went to the sun
"...going down the beach with dad on a week-end..."

Hearts full of motors painted green
"...in that wonderful old dark green Cortina he had with the light brown seats..."

Mouths full of chocolate covered cream
"...on the way home from school, that little sweet-shop just off Carlton Avenue...fantastic..."

Arms that can only lift a spoon
"...whoops, bit more up to date, being almost catatonic in the early days of being here..."

Everyone's gone to the moon

"...just like something you said in your broadcast, 'I belong there.' You know, Emp, sometimes I wish I could go back there and see it all again, all our old friends and just get that feeling of how it all was. It seemed so much better back then mate, life at the drawing board. I guess your memory plays tricks with you and yes, there were grey days and upsets, but I don't remember them hardly at all. Either that or I put them out of my mind...Doc McNasty reckons that was my 'survival mechanism' apparently, that dissociating from the difficult stuff by blotting out the bad memories, was another reason why I ended up with this amnesia for all that happened out in New York and then when I came back here in '84. Anyway, mate, I know one thing for sure. It was a great world to live in and I belong there. In fact, so do you..."
