| Praxius - So you're saying the moon landing is fake because (in your professional opinion) the photo's have been cropped and have faded or washed, therefore the only reasonable explanation for that is that NASA faked the whole thing? Wow - and we wonder how 12 people could find OJ not guilty ... The inability of an intelligent person to process evidence and make a sound judgment based on that evidence does not inspire confidence in our legal system (or human nature in general) ... I certainly hope my freedom never depends on your ability to make a sound judgment of fact based on presented evidence. Your logic explains how people could buy into Scientology, or dismiss evolution as a baseless theory (or the age of the unverse). To deny the significant accomplishment of the men and women who sacrificed (some their lives) for the goal of putting a man on the moon is quite offensive and such a claim should have overwhelming evidence before you make such absurd accusations of the space program.
like you said, on to the subject .... Germany has every right to pursue any technological achievment they feel is justified, but I agree that it seems wasteful to visit the moon to improve the world's perception of them .... now if they were going to explore the possibility of a launch platform there to reduce the cost of further space exploration, I would see the value in that. But it seems to be an expensive (and risky) sight-seeing trip to me. |
