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?

When space shuttle starts coming back to earth. It suffers a significant amount of friction, which produces heat ..plasma trail..etc. Now is there any way we can fly like an aeroplane and get in the atmospheric level with limited amount of friction.

Quantum physics has shown that a single particle of matter exists not just in one position, but in several places at once. It can exist as both a particle and as part of a wave at the same time. Since we also are made up of these particles, we too then must exist in many states at once. (theory of David Deutsch)
