Well NIceguy your right, why did'nt we go further? If our politicians had any balls they would vote for massive increases in the space program. Obammie, wants to kill our space progam and give the money to the dead beats. Spend money on deadbeats and all you get is more deadbeats, spend money on the space program and you get advanced technology. Including the kind that makes the deadbeats comfortable. These idiots sure do not think past their noses.

i don't understand that even some americans are so ignorant to doubt the landing. the proof is all there.  we have flown satellites past the moon taking pictures of it. the soviets even confirmed that we landed. This isn't about being american, this was a moment for humanity. and im sad to say that some people have to doubt humanity's accomplishments.

@bpbiv31 I don't have a relative that went to the moon. I went to the moon on Apollo 16.

I assure you that it was not a fake mission.

@StunTxSnipeZ The Moon has reduced gravity compared to the Earth, not zero gravity which only happens in space flight. So pouring a liquid is possible. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, I just hope that helps.

@StunTxSnipeZ because they're on the Moon, not in space

@tatat44 How do you propose we go to Mars or even an asteroid, without a manned vehicle? Obama is just another politician who put his political ambitions ahead of technological advancement. Personally I think private enterprize should take over manned space exploration. We need to take the future, dare I say ultimate survival of the human race out of the hands of fickle and greedy politicians. We need space exploration and exploitation to meet future needs of humanity.

"Obammie" did not kill our space program, he killed Orion, which was a worthless Bush-era money sink that never even got off the ground, let alone approached our other goals. Obama favors (and has increased funding for) visiting an asteroid as a path to a manned Mars mission.

But you don't care about that, you just want to be left alone with your comfortable, black-and-white stereotypes. He's not the commander in chief or a human being, he's just simple old "Obammie".

“Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind.” -Inscription on the plaque left on the surface of the moon at the end of the mission.

One of the most monumental moments in human history. I feel honored to have been born late enough to see it.

Dam, what a Joke

They were on the moon, not in zero gravity.

[StunTxSnipeZ]

how did they gt the drink to pour normally in zero gravity?
