Subject: RE: BS: Did We really land on the Moon?
Up yours Murray...........I'm a complete jerk not one of those knee jerks....and yes, I saw the program. They had a lot of things from the one guy especially such as the lack of blast crater from the descent engine, No dust on the pads, flags waving, etc. No, I personally don't have answers to a lot of them, but I believe there are answers.

That crap about Grissom was pure nonsense. The bit about the lander trainer that Armstrong crashed was nuts too. It was almost impossible to build ANYTHING that would simulate the way the lander would function in lunar gravity and lesser pilots wouldn't have been able to keep that early prototype in the air at all! After it was continually modifies, they did use it again, but everyone who flew both (like Armstrong and Conrad) said it was complete junk and the program was scrapped. It proved nothing.

Considering the number of people who worked on Apollo, this would be the biggest conspiracy of all time and the best kept secret as well. Additionally, most of those involved (in the front lines especially) were stand-up kind of people and if Grissom HAD been "murdered" it would have come out from a guy like Deke Slayton long ago.

Maybe now that you mention it, I'll go look for answers, but after watching the program, my only impression of those "Flat Earth" types who believe it was a hoax is, "What a bunch of assholes."
