Before all the idiots come in saying that the moon landing was faked. We didn't have the technical capabilities to fake a moon landing in 1969 and the Soviet Union even publicly acknowledged the United States had landed on the moon.

They faked not having that technology.
The Soviet Union was also fake.

The only thing I question was this article back in 2004 when President Bush said he wanted to return to the moon by 2020. I thought to myself 2020? We went in the 60s we should have been able to go yesterday. Anyway I'm pretty sure we went just seems a little weird we would have to wait another 16 years to go.

Still amazes me that a guy walked on the moon, let alone 45 years ago. Pretty incredible.

I don't think it was faked, but I find it silly that for some reason it's just such a challenge to do it again.

Yeah, but considering what NASA does now, like the Mars rover landing which hurts the brain when you think about it, you'd think they'd be testing interns on cocktail napkins regarding the processes involved in going to the moon.

Did they ever state how they solved the Van Allen belt problem in the original moon landings?

I don't think returning man to the moon is a technological issue, it is a fiscal one.

the Chinese will get to the moon first and it'll be totally different then what we saw in the 60s.

I mean come on, they took a CAR and hit golf balls on the moon!

I'm not saying it was fake, but this is a pretty poor argument.
We had the technical capabilities to put a man on the moon, but not enough technical capabilities to fake it?

That's what the guy in post #4 is saying.

Yes, rocket propulsion and video technology are basically the same thing, eh?

Watch the video, too.
