To the moon, troll, to the moon!

[CHR]

During the cold war, JFK claimed to have gone to the moon. He got congress to spend billions on his moon landing and pretended america landed there, convincing congress to give him billions, the fakeness of the landing is well documented.

It seems to me that this liberal moneybags, that he took these billions for personal use, or maybe gave them to the USSR (we all know he was soft on communism)

Perhaps his death was similarly staged in order to keep his billions or keep congress of his case.

I wonder if under an obama administration we will see more moon landings.

Sorry about the double, don’t know what key I hit! And the glass I was drinking from was only about 12 oz, equal parts wine, soda, and ice :-).

Hmmmn.

“I” was young and foolish once upon a time. (Well, yesterday was once upon a time, too.)

[Tax-chick]

“But that was once-upon-a-time, and I was so young ...” It’s a song.

[NicknamedBob]

“I” was young and foolish once upon a time.

It's nothing new for you, Robert.

You do it every day.

.

The good news is that you get better with practice.

What have you been up to lately that's been fun?

[Monkey Face]

Never be embarrassed about “Once Upon A Time...”
(And we were ALL “young and foolish” at some point in our lives!)

Yesterday” was a VERY good year!

[sionnsar]

And some of us grew out of the "young" part.

Afternoon, all. Was foolish and took on photographs for the church board, plus a hope of selling images. Naturally things managed to go awry.

[Monkey Face]

I vowed, years ago, to never be abything but YOUNG!

I missed church today, but will make it for sure next week ~~ in Arkansas!

[sionnsar]

LOL, and so it is.

Maybe the pictures won't be so bad, now that I'm looking at them in detail. It annoys me, the little things I missed, but that comes with practice and experience.

[Monkey Face]

“Don’t sweat the small stuff. And it’s ALL small stuff!”

Outside of that, all I can say is, “Life is good!”

[sionnsar]

I have a perfectionist streak sometimes. I’m trying to perfect the art of not being perfectionist.

[NicknamedBob]

"I’m trying to perfect the art of not being perfectionist."

That, I can do.

[Monkey Face]

I’m proud to say I’m the most humble person I’ve ever met.

[sionnsar]

And when was it you met yourself?

[Monkey Face]

As I was going into the bathroom, here...the place is so small, I very often meet me coming or going, especially if I turn around very quickly...

I don’t believe we landed on the moon either. The technology didn’t exist at the time to land and take off. We can’t even do it today with the Mars rover. There’s no place to refuel and no structure to hold up the craft. When “we went to the moon”, we didn’t even have the technology to land back on earth - we had “splash downs”. Often missing the splash area by miles. No way we landed on the mood.

[NicknamedBob]

You must have missed the memo.

"There’s no place to refuel and no structure to hold up the craft."

They brought the take-off fuel with them, and the "structure" for launch as well. The part that landed was left behind. Only the launch pod took off from the moon.

It rejoined the orbiter, and all three astronauts returned to Earth.

The feat could easily be replicated today, for about a thousand times what it cost us then.

Or we could use what we've learned in the meantime, and do it in an even more efficient manner, along with a number of other things we should be doing in space, and should have been doing for some time.

[Robert A Cook PE]

But, but, but I liked landing on the mood.....

Those little rings were kinda pretty.

[NicknamedBob]

It was a precursor to landing on Saturn.

[Tax-chick]

Wasn’t that when we landed on Saturn?

[NicknamedBob]

Great minds are equally weird.
