    ^ noooooo.

    Actually the film IS about the truth.
    It dispels all those kooky conspiracy theories in a very clear and logical way. I don't think anyone still believes it was a hoax.

    Little house on the dreary, who could believe the American regime would lie to the people unless necessary?

    Does this sound familiar?

    If you think politics is dirty and corrupt today, it's a good thing you weren't around in the 1920s. That's when the White House was occupied by Warren G. Harding, a charming but dim-witted fellow who privately admitted to friends that the job was beyond his abilities. While not personally dishonest, Harding — who once gambled away the White House china set in a card game — filled his administration with poker and golf buddies, many of whom turned out to be crooks.
    Take Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall. He secretly allowed oil companies to tap the Teapot Dome oil reserve in Wyoming and the Elk Hills oil reserve in California in exchange for several hundred thousand dollars in bribes [source: Miller Center]. After the Wall Street Journal published a 1922 expose revealing that the oil had been sold without competitive bidding, a crusading senator from Wisconsin, Robert La Follette, arranged for the Senate Committee on Public Lands to investigate [source: U.S. Senate].
    Harding's attorney-general, Harry Daugherty, who was getting heat for failing to investigate corruption, turned to then-FBI director William J. Burns. Burns sent one of his agents to ransack La Follette's office, to search for anything that might be used to blackmail the senator into silence [source: Jeffreys-Jones]. But that only convinced La Follette that he was on to something, and the investigation pressed on, exposing Fall's shady dealings. Eventually, Fall became the first U.S. cabinet secretary in history to go to prison.

    Truth?

    No such absolute.

    The dumbing down process has become influential fashion.

    I remember watching John Glenn walking on the moon when I was a kid in school and cherish that moment.

    As you grow up and read about all the lies and cheating and absolute bullshit that the American government's put out over 5 decades since that time you cannot blame anybody to question anything they claim.

    Carry on anyway. I want to believe what I saw and that is that.

    I was 7 years old at the time and thought it was wonderful and still do today, remember it like it was yesterday.

    Could have been Magic Johnson, or Jesse Jackson , or Richard Nixon, or Frank Sinatra, or Ray-Reacharound...............It was still Good.

    John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth from space.
    Neil Armstrong was the first person to step on the moon.

    Of course 54 years ago.

    Shit I am not sure now whether JG was the first man to orbit the earth.

    I have read it was a Russian or a monkey!

    The Ruskies beat the Yanks to everything, except getting to the Moon.

    Which, to be fair, is what really mattered.


    One fact that highlights the speed at which modern technology and science develops, is that the first human to fly could have met the first human to walk on the moon, as they were both alive at the same time.
