How dare you call the astronauts cowards by saying they never set foot on the moon. They were doing something that was completely new and revolutionary. Who here would go into space with 1960s technology?? Or even set foot on the moon and return safely to the Earth? Yet you honour men who survived gunfights with Germans or Japanese or went to a war that never made a scrap of difference to anything.
There's one thing you cannot fake. Moonrocks. Those rocks are WEIRD. Nothing on Earth is exactly matches it.
By the way I should inform you about an incident with Buzz Aldren. I think about 4 months ago a guy (who is a major believer that the moon landings were fake) confronted Buzz in a hotel lobby. Buzz was pissed off (and rightfully so) about this guy calling him a coward and absolutely decked the guy. He's like 70+ years old. I wish my Grandad could kick arse that much. It's on video too, but I'm not sure were you would find the footage.

This has nothing to do with a hatred for my country, this has to do with scientific facts. Do some research on the subject before you spout off incoherent babble like that. The only proof you have for defending the space program is that they have moon rocks?? Of course they do, they have had lunar landings on the moon plenty of times. How else would they know the conditions that the astronauts would face Besides, do you know the difference from a moon rock and a chunk of hardened lava? Probably not, so how is that statement even credible? We are not arguing patriotism, we are mearly discussing the facts and scientific research that shows the moon landing was possibly faked to gain an edge over the Russians in their space program.
