Emmy sounds about right. The whole program is 90% fiction, long before they sold it to Kennedy & the public.

That's just ignorance of the science. Sorry, you should pay more attention to the facts.

Nothing special ... just a bunch of guys who did something amazing so that all of us could share in the first moonwalk. They are proud of what they did ... and rightly so! Congratulation on recognition well deserved.

What about, the full space program 10-yrs before JFK's bs speech? Or, NASA releases a few HD shots from the same Apollo cameras that reach the public in worse everything than WW1 footage? Or, that Hubble gets HD light-years away & Google can snap my mailbox, but we can't get anything of the Moon or even a close-up of a Rover? It's too much to ask that OUR MONEY buy us a stinking million $ mini-hubble for the Moon powder & all other globes? They're job security idiots & we're deaf, dumb & blind.
