If you believe that the moon landing was real, then you probably believed that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! Just because the government says it is so...does not necessarily make it truth. The country was up to its neck in an unpopular war and the government needed a major distraction for its people to continue its senseless war.
Americans love competition and to invent a space race to the moon with the Russians was an ingenious way to get American's minds off the war and onto something much bigger and less destructive.

I am what some call a "doubting Thomas", or relate to people from Missouri..."The Show Me State."
Its easy to join the moral majority, and accept everything that the government tells us is the truth. But the more I learn about our government, and its hidden agendas, the more I do not trust what they spew out as propaganda. And believe me, a lot of you can agree with me on that point with the current condition our country is in.
So here are just a few important details I found in my search about the supposed moon landing. First and foremost is I do not believe that back in the 1960's we had the technology to pull off such a tremendous feat. I do not believe that we
