  so i was fooled by the witnesses.

  what can i learn from that?

  not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

  Was it worth the money?

  Well no one can refute the technological legacy of the Apollo programme which trickled down to the public,a quick research discovered and includes heat resistant materials, the cordless vacuum cleaner and freeze drying.

  So was it worth the money ? a survey conducted on behalf of E&T tecnology, concluded 40% thought the Apollo programme a waste of money.However i wonder what further space exploration, and scientific advancement, but for the cost of the Iraq war? Which according to a report in the New York, newspaper, has cost 1.7 trillion dollars, plus additional billions in benefits owed to veterans. And killed 134,000 Iraq civilians.

  So yes indeed maybe the Apollo programme was worth every scent, who knows by inspiring a whole new generation of scientists, we may indeed save our planet in the future.

  Friends:-Never mind about the insulting pictures, let's move on.

  I think one of the reasons this thread has raised so much passion, is that we are not only debating whether man landed on the moon, we are debating history, and that history should be a reliable guide for the future. Is that your opinion also?

  Moon Speeches and how they could have effected history.

  President Kennedy:- " We choose to go to the moon, in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"

  comment. I wonder had the president not been assassinated would congress have been willing to spend billions going to the moon? Anyway it made a great legacy for a dead and very popular former president. ( I personally believe Russian involvement and the Cold War contributed to funding)

  This speech you may not be aware exists, it could be seen as supporting a moon landing:-

  In Event of Moon Disaster:- " Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.... )Part of a speech Nixon would have given had Armstrong and Aldrin got stuck on the moon.)

  And the most famous speech:-

  Neil Armstrong " That's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind" according to Armstrongs brother, this speech was prepared and he actually said " That's one small step for " A" man , (A) the missing indefinite article in the transmission.

  TALESIN:/ Thankyou for your comment, I and I think a lot of people would agree with you.:- TO DEFICIT INFINITY AND BEYOUND :-)

  Ceders I appreciate your post.What I don't understand from your comment is how with my understanding of pre-emtion and monentary speculation plus advanced tecnology, why even with a reduced budget of Billions of dollars this is not enough for America to have returned to the moon.

  Thanks Viv, your images don't require answering a question, nor do they require deeper meaning, and therefore you can escape answering the puzzle of deeper meaning which my question challenged you . I do believe you can't answer my question.

  WHY did Bush, NOT explain WHY it would take 15 years with 21st century tecnology to return to the moon, when it only took 8 years to accomplish this achievement with 1960s tecnology?

  Vivs answer by return, another image of man pooping. Congratulations.

  Witness My Fury, thank you for the link and the transcript, which I had bothered to read before I posted my question. It was infact the reason I raised the question. And If you had bothered to read the link you would see it doesn't answer my question.

  My question still remains unanswered:-

  WHY did Bush not explain WHY it would take 15 years with 21st tecnology to return to the moon, when it only took 8 years to accomplish this achievement with 1960s tecnology?

  Why the hateful comments and the battlefield of insulting visual images?

  Its a simple question " WHY did Bush NOT explain WHY it would take 15 years with 21st tecnology to return to the moon, when it only took 8 years to accomplish this achievement with 1960s tecnology?

  Why to my knowledge was this question not raised by journalists at the press conference?

  Lisa Rose answer" maybe because they not being lazy journalists, and not being lazy had researched and knew why?

  Well journalists inform the public, the public probably had not researched and didn't know why?

  Probably most of the public still don't know the answer.

  So what was the answer?

  Viv your answers to my questions:-

  " I am out of a book to read when I am pooping.....?

  Why not answer the question?

  ...............

  Bush " Our goal is to return to the moon ion 2020"

  My two questions are :-

  A) WHY did Bush not explain, WHY it would take 15 years with 21st tecnology to return to the moon, when it only took 8 years to accomplish this achievement with 1960s tecnology?

  B) Why to my knowledge was this question not raised by journalists at the press conference.

  A respectful answer would be appreciated, as I have now researched this question and found no sattisfactory answer.

  The best answer from Viv " I am out of a book to read when I am pooping"

  Psndhandlegirl, I also like both the Eagles and James Taylor...but as this thread is on underrated,musicians " Tim Buckley" is in my top 10. His famous son " Jeff Buckley" we all know and love. But for trivia both Jeff and Tim died aged 27. ( So I guess we can say,Tim and his son Jeff never had a father and son relationship)

  Tim Buckley is worth listening to, if you haven't heard of him.

  Anyway QUESTIONS can get lost in the shuffle of a thread,but I hope these two question can be answered respectfully and with out name calling.

  Bush " Our goal is to return to the moon in " 2020" :- ) my two questions are then:-

  A) So WHY did Bush NOT explain WHY it would take 15 years with 21st tecnology to return to the moon, when it only took 8 years to accomplish this achievement with 1960s tecnology?

  B) Why to my knowledge was this question not raised by journalists at the press conference?
