Clinton - that is what dumbfounded me. As I said - this is a group of people I have known for years - and up until this weekend considered to be sane & intelligent. And I walked away absolutly flabbergasted.

The internet is full of idiots with nothing better to do than speculate down totally idle lanes...

Please... this goes right up there with the Incident At Lake County, and the Alien Autopsy that was seen on FOX...

Only a paranoid moron would believe this...

a) lied to us

b) was duped herself.

Wow! Well, if that's true then my dad and sister-in-law have some explaining to do since they both worked as engineers for the space program...or so they told everyone in our family!

okay - yes, it's a stupid BS subject - but I'm curious.

The other night I was in a discussion with a group of people I normally consider to be intelligent sane adults - and found out that ALL of them (about a dozen) truly believe the entire US space program to have been a hoax, and that mankind has yet to put anything manned into space beyond low earth orbit.

How widespread is this belief? Or Am I the sucker that actually believes what I saw occur on TV and heard on the radio and read in the newspapers?
