Some oddities about the Moon Landing..
I belive the landings did happen and here a few oddities for you all... Y'hera!
20 space oddities about their famous feat.
1. After placing his left foot on the lunar surface, Armstrong meant to say: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He later apologised for fluffing the line by missing out the "a". But some experts think he did say the "a" and was let down by the relatively primitive recording technology of the time.
2. Aldrin's first action on the moon was to have a pee. The astronauts' spacesuits were each fitted with a pipe for urinating into, which they could later empty into a waste disposal unit on the lunar module.
3. The maiden name of Buzz Aldrin's mum was... Moon.
4. While on Earth and practising the moon landing in a training module, a fault with it forced Armstrong to eject 100ft into the air. He did so just in time - half a second later and his parachute would have failed to open soon enough. Armstrong was unhurt, apart from biting his tongue.
5. Armstrong and Aldrin made late adjustments to their landing spot on the moon, coming within 20 seconds of running out of fuel. Ground control in Houston told them: "You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue here."
6. The schedule called for a five-hour break before Armstrong stepped on to the moon - but he couldn't wait and successfully asked Houston to bring forward the schedule.
7. Around 450million people heard Armstrong's famous "one small step" words live. But among those who didn't was the third member of the Apollo 11 crew, Michael Collins, who was orbiting the moon on mission command module Columbia and out of radio contact with Armstrong and Aldrin's lunar-landing module Eagle.
8. One reason for Armstrong being first on the moon was that the Eagle's hatch opened inward and to the right, blocking Aldrin until Armstrong got out.
9. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so how come the US flag was shown "flying" there after the Apollo 11 crew installed it? Simple - it was stiffened with wire to give the appearance it was flying.
10. Buzz Aldrin's first name was the inspiration for hit animation movie Toy Story's spaceman character Buzz Lightyear. Aldrin was christened Edwin Eugene Aldrin but his baby sister called him Buzzer - a mispronunciation of the word brother. This got shortened to Buzz and Aldrin later made it his legal first name.
11. US President Richard Nixon's diary for the day blandly reads: "The President went to his office. The President held an inter- planetary conversation with Apollo 11 astronauts. The President went to the Residence."
12. Assassinated US President John F. Kennedy had in 1961 set a target for landing an American safely on the moon before the decade was out. As Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon, a note was placed on his grave. It read: "Mr President, the Eagle has landed."
13. As Armstrong and Aldrin later waited to blast off from the lunar surface, Aldrin informed the Houston control centre: "We're number one on the runway."
14. The US flag on the moon was blown over by the Eagle's take-off, prompting later missions to plant their flags farther from the landing module.
15. The Apollo 11 astronauts were travelling at 25,000mph when they re-entered Earth's atmosphere - eight times faster than a rifle bullet.
16. When back on Earth, they had to fill out US Customs forms. They listed their departure point as Moon, their arrival point as Honolulu and their cargo as samples of moon rock and moon dust.
17. They spent their first three weeks back home in quarantine just in case they had picked up unknown germs.
18. On being shown footage of the world united in amazement at their moonwalk, Aldrin realised he and Armstrong were among the very few people who had not seen it. He quipped: "Neil, we missed the whole thing!"
19. All three of the Apollo 11 astronauts had made a previous space flight - which made Apollo 11 only the second all-veteran space crew.
20. Among items left behind on the moon were a gold olive branch, as a sign of peace, and a plaque inscribed with the words: "Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind."
you feel ok drac?
We have blondes in the moon, they are all dizzy from looking at the moon , only in the full stage.

If only you'd seen her..Stories say that her erogenous zones extend six miles from her corporeal body....
Anyway, this will do for now..
I am off to sleep, perchance to dream :o)
I bid you all a very good night!
If you'd have these you won't want threes, brit.
No wonder men always set first on the moon. LOL

Passable.. Very passable...
Not as delectable as the triple breasted whore of eroticon 6, but very passable indeed..
drac, you can always PM it to me.
Still wondering which "keywords" trigger the ad:
Qatar Living Lounge, Assassinated US, Columbia, Edwin Eugene, Aldrin, HONOLULU, Houston, John F. Kennedy, Logitech Cordless Headset, 100 ft Range Retail Wireless, Michael Collins, primitive recording technology, Richard Nixon, Toy Story, or United States.
I go for "primitive recording technology". What do you think?

I think we are spot-on. These are definitely some "oddities" of the Moon Landing.
... start your journey now ...

Hubba Hubba..
These are the twin moons you were refering to :)
Memories of El Fuerte de Samaipata in Bolivia.. I spent many years there in a previous life .... Memories :O)
something blond? yeah... she's blond and pretty :P
but why only in this thread she's appearing??
The "EVONY" adds??
yes i'm seeing her.... on top, left, right and bottom :P
all five of her ;)
brit, I see something blonde that you don't see. What is it?
It's brit's magic, pinoy!
We're crazy enough to have one planet Mars and why do we need 2 Martian moons more? LOL

And you probably made photos for Pirie Reis, so he could draw an outline of the American continents long before the brothers Wright?
Ha, you see her, pinoy?? I thought I was the only one. M o d s!!
Please don't open old wounds..
In my previous life , I helped design the Inca Pyramids using my spacecraft to define the planes :O(
start your journey now my lord..... she's hot :P

one and half centuries before i told to Jonathan Swift: man...wtf? 2 martian moons? you're crazy!

150 years after, where? You can't de-couple time from space. It's called a 'space-time continuum', isn't it?
Had the money for the plans yet? LOL

Are we talking the fifth dimension here or "folding" space ??
Wow, what a philosopher. When you walk, drac, do you move across Earth or is Earth moving beneath your feet?

Did they have Guiness in those days.. i know i've often seen stars after a few ..
I don't know, brit. But it is still an unsolved mistery how this guy could propose two Mars moons with no means to see them. (He was Irish, by the way).
I didn't know that.. Thanks for the info..
Do you think it was accidental ??
"The existence of two fictional Martian moons was described in Jonathan Swift's satirical novel Gulliver's Travels, published in 1726, 150 years before their discovery:
They [the Laputan astronomers] have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or 'satellites', which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the centre of the primary planet exactly three of his diameters, and the outermost five; the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in twenty-one and a half; so that the squares of their periodical times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of their distance from the centre of Mars, which evidently shows them to be governed by the same law of gravitation, that influences the other heavenly bodies..."
That is space travel, brit. What else?
We're talking space travel, not fairy tales :O)
What about Jonathan Swift?
And damn he's French!

I don't care, brit. It's only for the advertisement (see above) that I return to this page.
I beg to differ..
It was tested in India. No air loss was detectd even after the Britanaut had partaken of two vindaloos, an onion bhaji and a few paadoms..
He looks like one of the dudes at the Star Wars' cantina.
This is only propaganda. This suit is not airtight!
I meant that we didn't have any vaccuum proof cameras.. This was taken prior to the Britanaut's take off..
Good one brit but from where did u get this pic then?? But well they were everywhere during those days so why not the moon, its possible...
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
Buzz Aldrin described it as "magnificent desolation"
Actually its a little known fact that the Brits went to the Moon back in Victorian times.. However, we didn't hve cameras in those days and the idiot brought the flag back with him ..
Ok. thnx for the info MD
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
Moon is dead. No seismic activities. No magnetic field. Only exposed to extralunar impacts. No wind as no atmosphere. Seems reasonable that things stay the same for long unless meteorite hits.
I am not a scientist so mayb wrong about this but those marks still there after 40 yrs so clear.. surely lunar surface has some activity, atleast the prints wud have gone by now.. Again not really sure about it, wud appreciate if sum1 can enlighten.
" Dont take life too seriously, you will never get out alive!!!"
Apparently, NASA just released photos in which the lunar landing sites are shown. The photos were just captured last week by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which just reached lunar orbit last month. In one you can even see the astronauts footprints from the landing site to a set of experimental equipment.
It seems like this would be unequivocal evidence that humans have walked on the moon, but I'm sure those who believe it was all a hoax are just going to claim that they are fakes.
Anyway, they're really cool photos. You can see them here:

i thought the indians were the first on the moon, what was really said, "that's one small step for naan".
on the top, left. right and bottom on my screen, shes hot, hot, hot,
Then it must be my user name, brit. I normally stop thinking when I'm on QL.
Perhaps they are triggered by brain wave patterns, because I sure am not getting them..
I don't see it , I must have a add block on here ...ha ha
It would be interesting which keywords triggered this infame advertisement again.
So the saying "Every dog has his day" is correct .. lucky Mr. Gorsky..
Same here MD..... No Clue Why?
-------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I find the KEY to SUCCESS...Someone steals it.
Sorry Brit, can't help drag up this old gem ;o)
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5, 1995 (in Tampa Bay, FL) while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
thanks brite expat
I still believe its a hoax!
Of course NASA has to defend themselves!
Those assets look like the portrusions on the moon - namely Mons Gruithuisen Delta and Mons Gruithuisen Gamma ..
You see , there is alink :O)
Odd, I get her again:
This was just to put the Aliens off their guard.. We had to push the peace thing otherwise they would probably attack and wipe us out..
"Among items left behind on the moon were a gold olive branch, as a sign of peace, and a plaque inscribed with the words: "Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind". And this was the biggest mistake. (Independence Day)!
