400,000 americans worked on the manned moon missions up to 1972.

Men risked their lives. Men died to get to the moon.

Tens of thousands of highly skilled scientists, technicians and engineers worked long hours, risked their family lives and met impossible deadlines.

It was just about the most incredible thing that America has ever done.

The moon missions helped put the USSR into financial ruin, as they tried to compete, pumping billions of money they could not afford into the effort. As such, Apollo was instrumental in bringing down the USSR and the iron curtain, and in that sense it was a war won to end a nuclear standoff that had threatened us all for decades.

Don't you think, taking all that into consideration, that all these ignoramouses who know nothing of the history but like to deny the moon landings based on some senseless love of conspiracies, should be rounded up and charged with treason?

The depths of our own oceans on earth support life forms that would explode if brought to the surface due to a lack of pressure per square inch of mass. So why couldn't an alternate life form other than ours here on earth survive extreme pressures, temperatures, oxygen levels and similar conditions and still be able to survive? To think otherwise is uninformed, arrogant and pompous.
