| ----- Original Message ----- From: DF To: SC; AR Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 6:34 PM Subject: moon after a brief, but illuminating conversation with Mr. C, I am now on a mission to find out if people of our parents' generation really believe that we landed on the goddamn moon. Of course, we all know we didn't. We all know it is impossible to land anyone on the stupid moon. But I don't know if my parents know this. Steve also reminded me of the arrogance of the perpetrators of this great myth. I am basically just paraphrasing Steve here. Not only did they claim that we sent someone to the moon, but they went as far as to make believe that they were driving in their little moon vehicle and jumping around on the surface. We all know that any attempt to do any of that crap in real life would have resulted in instant death. Then, NASA has the balls to claim that the astronauts actually made it back! To claim we got to the moon is bad enough, but we all know, with certainty, that there is no way those guys could possibly have made it back alive. I do think that we could probably blow up the moon if we really wanted to. But there is no way that we have put a man up there, much less a few men, a space ship (a "space ship" for god's sake), and a dunebuggy. Not only that, there is no way that we will EVER be able to put a man on the moon. -----Original Message----- From: DF ----Original Message----- From: DF yeah. They probably were high fivin' each other saying stuff like ----Original Message----- According to my “records,” the last manned moon mission came in 1972. If we were able to land there and cruise around in our moon-vehicle in 1969 (actually, this driving around supposedly “happened” in 1971), by 2001 I would expect college kids and yuppies to be able ride there on small scooter-like jet-powered vehicles. Instead, nothing. I mean, for the average citizen, the real excitement in America putting a man on the moon is the hope that someday, he too will jump around, whack golf balls, and zoom all over the place in his buggy, just like the astronauts. Otherwise, what’s the point? It was a lot of fun, for those 10 or 12 people, or whatever it was, who “actually” got to play around up there. But if the technology really existed to get us there in 1969(!), by now, with all the advances in technology, they should be taking rocket ships full of kids there every weekend. Of course, in 1969 America was dealing with Vietnam, and people were starting to become really unhappy. Kids were dying, and people were looking for answers, or at least for something they could feel good about. We must understand that citizens then were still very naïve and stupid. Their ability to own and operate gizmos, and thus their understanding of technology, was limited to a remote control that was connected to the TV by a long, squiggly wire like the one that’s attached to a telephone. Cheering them up with a big, outrageous lie was a very simple task. Remember, even hippies, the so-called counterculture, were very stupid, possibly the most easily misled fools of all. Most of them had joined this “movement” because it offered indiscriminate, guiltless sex and, at the same time, eliminated the need to bathe or groom. Now, in 2001, there are discussions of another moon mission. How unsurprising that it occurs in the wake of the 9/11 tragedies. But after 30 years, shouldn’t they upgrade the fantasy? Why not send people to Jupiter or make a man invisible or something?
