I agree with Buzz Aldrin's viewpoint.
A-LA-BA-MA MAN!
HE'S QUICK, HE'S STRONG, HE'S ACTIVE! You can take Alabama Man to the bowling alley, where he drinks heavily and chews tobacco! HE CAN BOWL, HE CAN DRINK, HE CAN DRINK SOME MORE, ALA-BA-MA-MAN! When wife asks him where he's been, just use the action button and Alabama Man busts her lip open! "Shut up, Bitch!" "Wow!" BEATS HIS WIFE AND SLEEPS IT OFF, A-LA-BA-MA MAN!

Dustie Wrote:See Slamz thread for the same answer I would give to that. My quick answer is that that is on of a thousand things that might be technically possible, but highly improbable in conjunction with all the other events. On the "Non-hoax topic". If you haven't read Moon Shoot then you should really read it. It was written by Deke Slayton and Alan Shepard. Both of those guys were in the original Mercury Space program. For those that know nothing about the US space program it went Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and then the Space Shuttle. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Shot-Inside-Story-Americas/dp/1570361673">http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Shot-Inside- ... 1570361673</a><!-- m --> The real reason we were able to go to the moon was because of Dr. Wernher von Braun's Saturn V rocket. Without him and his team of German scientists we might not have even developed a space program to begin with. Moon Shot really puts into perspective how close we were to giving up the entire space race at several points. It also puts into perspective how close the Apollo XI was to not being able to land or even crashing into the moon. Another fun fact I found out while watching, I think it was called, "History According to Walter Cronkite"; he said that CBS had a model of the moon landing that they showed simulating the landing; the simulated landing was shown while the actual moon landing occurred. But the simulated landing was shown 40 seconds before the actual landing occurred. While the lunar lander was in trouble and looking for an alternate site to land at the world was celebrating the lunar landing since everyone thought that the simulation was shown at the same time as the actual landing. He said that CBS and the world has conveniently forgotten about that footnote in history.

Liars usually act out with aggression when they've been called out. Not saying Buzz ia a liar, just stating a fact.

Going up to Aldrin and telling him he didn't land on the moon is like going to an Iraq war veteran and telling him he didn't really fight in Iraq. I doubt many of them would calmly reply, "Oh but I did, really!" It'd be fist swingin' time.

I would gladly see some jail time if someone who knew about my service to this country then called me a coward and a liar. Their is a difference between wild accusations and a personal attack on ones character. Little boys in todays world have forgotten that between 5000 years ago up until about a few decades ago when you questioned a mans honor you took your life in your hands.
That punch tells me everything I need to know about Buzz. He is a man to admire. Vllad

Back in the day I'd probably think so as well. Today however is a different story. My honor is not worth going to jail for and douchebags don't deserve the time of day.

That just goes to show that every mans breaking point is different. I would go the Buzz route you would not.
That just shows you can't tell based on that whether a man is defending a lie or his honor. Vllad

Vllad, remember that you're talking to someone who put a butter knife to my head in extreme anger during a disagreement over some political or financial issue. Don't be fooled by the cool hand Luke you're talking to above. Thudz is a hot blooded Irishman.
