I bet you’re proud of your 4th grade diploma. Except I was working out moon gravitational problems in 3rd grade.

meh... Our NASA director, Bill Nelson stated it’s too dark there to see anything on that side, hence a waste of resources.

Most of the stuff they release is computer graphic, saying this is what we did.

From Wikihahahapedia:

In 1986, Nelson became the second sitting member of Congress (and the first member of the House) to travel into space. He went through NASA training with Senator Jake Garn of Utah. Nelson was a Payload Specialist on Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-61-C mission from January 12 to 18, 1986. This mission was the last successful Space Shuttle flight prior to the Challenger accident, which occurred ten days after the end of this mission. In 1988, Nelson published a book about his space flight experience entitled Mission: An American Congressman's Voyage to Space.[25]

The answer to your question is: "graft and corruption".

“ 1. It can’t easily be denied as a hoax.”

Here’s a list of retroreflectors on the moon.

None from Chicomland.

Nelson is 81 years old—NASA has become cutting edge for the senile.

The head of China’s space program is almost twenty years younger:

Nelson was an attorney and politician.

The head of the Chinese space program is an engineer with a degree in physics.

That tells you all you need to know about the two space programs.

Math and physics are not “wild juvenile imaginations,” and they’re the basis of what we know about astronomy.

Right and if their supposed landing is on the dark side of the moon then they don’t have to put up a reflector.

Tres convieniete.

We (well, 21 of us) have been to the Moon.

Why do you suppose the first 6 would never put their hands on the Bible and swear to their journey?

...what planets are made out of and when they were made all from looking at a light?

Right? That's crazy talk.

Next they'll claim you can shoot a beam of electrons at an object and determine it's elemental makeup.

Because the obnoxious creeps who were harassing them DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEMAND A SWORN OATH.

That’s why.

They deserved a punch in the face, and one of them got it.
