Remember....:

Nation do not have ANY friends, they only have INTERESTS

[karichurch1]

im beginning to wonder if we ever landed on the moon

[kolinmartz]

I propose a demilitarized zone around the earth about the size of the moon's orbit and the moon itself therefore if nations want a war in space they can do it somewhere else like mars or something

[Cloyde100]

Nations are well aware that whoever controls space controls Earth.

@karichurch1 Please dont fall into the trap of not finding out yourself. You can ACTUALLY SEE some of the stuff we landed there with telescopes which YOU can gain access to. You can fire a laser at the moon and special reflectors left there will return the signal. The moon alone would not be able to do that. Not to mention the literally billions of dollars worth of hardware you can go and look at touch, smell. There are 1000s of people involved who helped acheive it who YOU can talk to.

@anisocoro as long as its bigger than 2yards square and you already know what your looking at. Space to ground cameras suck for one reason. ATMOSPHERE. All that guff about being able to read your newspaper is total hogwash.
