In Event of Moon Disaster
By Jay Alan | October 27, 2007
In 1969 Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the surface of the moon. In case they didn’t return from this historic event, a speech was written to address the world about the sad event. Thankfully this speech wasn’t ever needed, but it was written before the mission began, just in case. Now the whole speech is on Wikipedia for all to read, here’s a small excerpt:
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

Yeah…
It would have been real tragic if they would have died on that crappy film stage where the “moon landing” was filmed. I can just picture ol’ Tricky Dick reading the following message on a grainy newscast…
“My fellow Americans. These 3 brave stooges gave their lives to help perpetuate the greatest hoax of the 20th century. Who knew that while filming another one of their funny “jumpy-walking” scenes, one of the stage lights would break loose from its mounting and land on Neil Armstrongs head, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. Mr. Buzz Aldrin then began to laugh so hard at this ridiculous turn of events, that he asphyxiated in his own space suit. As for Mr. Collins, well, we just thought we’d shoot him to be fair to the other two.”
The truth shall be revealed. Mark my words.

You sir, are a funny man. I have to admit your recreation, while incredibly amusing, is just that, a recreation.
I can give you the best argument ever for why the moon landing wasn’t faked and while I’m at it, why there was no government cover-up of JFK’s assassination, and why there are no aliens in Area 51.
The reason is simple: our government isn’t organized enough to keep things that huge a secret. Think about all the attempted cover-ups that didn’t work, Echelon, Watergate, Iran Contra, Delta Force, the list goes on and on, with the size of our government and the number of people required to get anything done, someone is going to talk. It’s really that simple.

WOW. That my friends is the single most venoumous reply in the history of the site. “Bill”, in case you couldn’t tell, that was a humorous reply by Jason, who, while he and a small minority of people (apparently including yourself) don’t believe in the moon landing, was being funny. And while both Silence and myself disagree with him (and you) about that, he also didn’t post something filled with so many spelling, grammitical errors, and hate like you did. In the future, try some spell check, and remember, you’re sure not doing your cause any good if you come off sounding like a total kook and jerk.

Wow, Bill, you are correct! I now see the error in my ways, after you so eloquently pointed them out! I’m a silly fool who believes in the perseverance of mankind over insurmountable odds, how wrong I’ve been! I’m certainly glad I had your wise (and nearly indecipherable) rants to set me on the path of enlightenment. The government killed Kennedy, we didn’t land on the moon and there are aliens in Area 51? Let me know if I got all that correct, I wouldn’t want to sound stupid or anything.
Yes, the flag is waving in the wind, it’s not a simple rule of physics that an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by another force. I guess my 3rd grade science teacher was wrong. I wish I had attended the school of Bill, I’d be a super genius, like you!
Also, periods, capitalization and spell checkers are your friends! Once you get to know them, I’ll introduce you to punctuation and paragraphs, won’t that be fun?
