Just being in orbit around the Moon and sending back pictures is a big accomplishment.<<

Making the 50 year old 1969 manned lunar mission, landing and return by the U.S., an unimaginable feat and arguably the biggest technological accomplishment ever achieved by man.

By extention, the first utterance from the Moon was the most important announcement in the history of the world.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The entire world was "looking up". Golden opportunity to get a message out with the maximum number of people watching and listening.

Yes, absolutely correct. And they did it largely with a slide rule and a pencil. Those were scientists.

This isn't really happening. The Zionists have struck the media with mass hypnosis. Provided Benjamins to those they couldn't hypnotize. That picture, it's a painted grapefruit.

The moon looks like an old MMA fighter, scarred and old.

I could see a day when the tall people go after the shorties. I’m betting the shorties will win. The shorties have had to overcome all their lives and are always stepping up.
