I have a close relative who believes in the "Moon Hoax" - that we never landed a man on the Moon. He is convinced (a la Capricorn One) and simply chuckles quietly when the subject comes up. This latest plan by NASA, with a 10-15 year window, makes him smile more broadly. He asks, if we already landed men on the Moon so many times, why will it take a decade or more of research, robots, etc. At a minimum, can't we reuse (w/upgrade) the technology from 40 years ago?

Yes. The "Moon Hoax" is itself a hoax.

I think the blue prints for the Saturn 5 rocket where destroyed.

Where your relatives alive between 1968 and 1972? And if so, did they watch the moon landings on TV?

tell him that the Soviets NEVER denied our being on the moon... and believe me, if they could of proven it a fake, they would of by now!!!

Lewis Grizzard, R.I.P., talked about folks who believed that the moon landings were fake, but wrasslin' is real.

I sure do miss Lewis.
