WE should be making regular trips to the moon.. That we have not IS due to a lack of commitment to blowing this joint before Niburu returns. 8-0

The booster is not the lander.

Science is reality.

I’m just waiting for the reports that the booster was lost due to climate change. Then it was subjected to all types of alien experiments which caused them to become refugees (due to the effects of climate change on the booster). Therefore, we have to bring them to earth and give them a place to stay./s

The U.S. government is so determined to maintain that the moon landings were real and not staged, that they have gone through the trouble of intentionally crashing a rocket booster on the moon’s surface in order to perpetuate the ruse.

They flew up there and planted all that stuff to fake the fact that they flew up...

Oh, wait.

OK, I gotta little work to do on that conspiracy theory. Back later.
