What FReeper in the past always thought that the moon landing was faked? Dirty Harry, Callahan, something,...I'm having a senior moment...
I remember telling him/her that I saw the guys get on the rocket, saw it go up, from roughly 5 miles away, and the Soviets didn't say a word (of course, they had the telemetry, telescopes, etc.), during the flight, or after the splash down.

I remember a thread in about 2001 or 2002 that was the most fun I think I've ever had on this forum. The poster you've named (I don't exactly remember either) was embroiled in an argument about the Moon landing, and in a sub-conversation in the same thread, another poster and I were re-writing the whole experience, predicated on speculation about what the first words spoken from another world might have been if Armstrong had twisted his ankle stepping off the lander or something like that.
It was hilarious.
