My question about Concorde being a hoax was aimed at those who use the fact that we have not been back to the moon siince 1972 as "proof" that the moon landings were fixed.
But there is so much paranoia now regarding conspiracies that readers took it seriously.
Concorde was 1960's technology. Concorde is no more. We have not got a supersonic airliner, and one is not on the drawing board. So, by the moon landing hoaxers arguments, Concorde was a fraud and never flew at mach 2 at all, because we haven't got an airliner that even exceeds mach 1.

It isn't only the Moon landings.
There is the Kennedy assassination, area 51, Israel behind the 9/11 attacks and so on. People who don't know and have no control are prone to conspiracy theories. They are especially common in the middle east, as evidenced by that Israel - 9/11 thing.

Actually, Bush was behind the 9/11 attack.
The Concorde lost popularity due to the fact that residents around every airport where it landed would have been subjected to the sonic booms.
I suspect that we will return to the moon soon to start a science based colony. There are issues with the (28 earth day) day duration and the lack of atmosphere to protect the colonists from cosmic radiation.
