Hehe, how dumb and ignorant do you have to be to believe that the moon landings were huge hoaxes? I think you almost have to have room-temperature IQ or something..  : )

Hey Dim Wit guss what !
On the moon you can't see stars and MAN did land on the moon.
Now I bet you'll complain "But on Apollo 11 why was the flag rippling?" Well the fact is the the horizontil poll didn't enstend well and the frabric got scrunched up.

I am an AUSSIE and you are an AMERICAN and you don't even belive that your own men landed on the moon!

One more thing I am only 12 years old and I know all this.

Yeah pretty scary : )

I dont think they will go inside, will they? Seems too dangerous to even consider. Maybe they can drop in a rover or roll a ball probe down the side.

Actually, in some ways, it' BETTER to send a man into the dangerous areas, because a man can react better to unknown situations then a robot can.

Oldjet, Do you think Nasa could fool the entire world or even the bad Russkies who were watching for any slip up by the terrible capitalist West??
