Easy you'd have thought, so why not then ? As someone woken up as a small child to watch the moon landing it would really put my mind to rest, still can't get my head around how they did it way back then or on the other hand how so many people could lie about it....... I don't pretend to understand the science involved but surely in the 21st century we could nail it as an absolute known truth or just another piece of propaganda bullshit? :huh:
What we achieved 43 years ago in science should be a doddle today. That's why I remain perplexed.
Exactly and I really hope it is true. I did read an article by Japanese scientist who said that the Japanese were going to travel to the moon however discovered that it would be impossible for man to survive the heat or radiation or something which is why they haven't done it. They land on planets much further away all the time surely going to the moon and back nowadays would be a piece of piss. I'm suprised McDonalds haven't done it just to put a huge advertising banner up there you could see from earth, imagine that !!!

As far as I'm concerned it is an absolute known truth. Or, as close as that can be.
It would be different if Russia had got there first.
In truth the Americans would not have been able to land on the moon without the aid of Nazi scientists captured in WWII.

That's true, the astronaut may have been American but NASA technology wasn't, the Nazi's were half way there in 1945.

Launching missiles from Germany to London was not "half way" by any stretch. Yes, the Germans were pioneers in rocketry, but let's not exaggerate the state of the technology in 1945.

According to cursory Internet search, no. Those fancy telescopes are not capable of dOing that.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

What if they were 17.8% of the way there in their Nazi spaceship ?
