Harldy 25 years after WWII ended, man was on the moon.

It should be an international holiday.

Speaking of movies....

I've been dying to see someone claim the moon landings are bogus, and all filmed on a sound stage.....   LOL

I was about to do that!

That's got to be one of the wildest conspiracy theories of all time.

"There is no such thing as the moon.  I dont know why they are saying there is.  

The glorious iraqi's are besieging the moon as we speak, the infidel american astronauts shall burn in hell"

Neat links, I found this kinda interesting...

http://www.moonmovie.com/15things.html

The radiation stuff I don't know about...

This was interesting too...

"A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon.  Who did the filming?"

Answer..

"Mission Control.  If you watched the miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon", you would know that there was a guy in mission control, controlling the pan/tilt functions on the tv camera tripod.  If you want to bring up the 7 second radio delay due to distance, he actually sent the command to tilt up with the ascending lander 7 seconds before it happened, and it all worked out."
