The greatest moment in human history. I was born in 1963 so was alive but don't remember it. I remember Apollo 13 though, and also 15 which I wrote about in school. I can even picture the desk I was sat at.

Confident I'll live to see a man on Mars.

I lived on Mars when I was a kid.





And many other chocolate snacks.
 
Anyone who thinks the moon landings were fake may as well think the Earth is flat.

Nearly half a million people employed directly and indirectly supporting it, and billions of dollars signed off in Congress, not to mention the photos and rocks brought back. All that yet some disrespectful fuckwits think it was faked?
 
Went to see Roy 'Chubby' Brown many years ago and by far his best line was "How come we can land a man on the moon but we can't land one on Martina Mavratilova".

I'm going to be in Ohio next month and a visit to the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum in his home town of Wapokaneta is on the to-do list.

Monumental achievement, I remember exactly where I was when the module landed, I was in a club in Ashton under line called The Birdcage on a Sunday night and about 10 or 11 o'clock the DJ announced that they have landed on the moon, we all went home later on that night and I stayed up nearly all night waiting for Neil Armstrong to step out of the module it was an awe inspiring moment for me.
I wagged college next day.
I used to go in the Birdcage as a school kid in the early 70’s, they actually had 2 cages with dancing girls in them but that was only for the adult nights. Tuesday’s were for kids over the age of 12 I think but we were restricted to the downstairs area only, over 18’s could go the upper area which had the bars open.

Was a great place for a young teenager, the girls at school were there dressed up as we’d never seen them in anything other than school uniforms. Funny that, as old perverts pay to see adults dressed as school girls now.

I hated school but looked forward to Tuesday nights so much. The Birdcage became Tiffany’s then a Roller Skating venue called Wheels, then closed. Prior to the Birdcage it was “Ashton Pally”, where my Mum and Dad met, and lots of others and was used in the Film “Billy Liar” which is a brilliant old black and white movie, written by Keith Waterhouse.

I’m not being a conspiracy nut, things like this genuinely interest me because for every person who has a convincing argument why it did happen, there’s someone else who convinces people that it didn’t.

Things like non parallel shadows, the flag, the fact we’ve not been back…

Is there anything that you’ve heard from “fakers” that has troubled you?

The disrespect to the astronauts and scientists involved.

B-b-b-but, the earth IS flat.

It’s the same empty heads who say there were no planes on 9/11, and when challenged by some unfortunate soul who witnessed it, changing their lives forever, that say that they are liars and most likely a crisis actor.

You will never win with them.
