Why save the world, when you can rule it?
Yes we landed on the moon and it would be cool to land on Mars but with Obama cancelling the space program that might not happen

What's more important? Landing on mars now or retaining the capability to develop the capability to do so in the future?

How can you land on something that isn't real?
 
We didn't land on the moon - The moon landed on us!

Not only did we land on it; we invaded. But due to war-crimes, it wasn't announced on the news.
 
that would truly suck to find out that we didn't go to the moon, If it ever came to be true though, I think the gov't owes us alot of tax money back....ALOT

Considering the track record of the us government with most secrets, I think it's safe to assume there are no aliens and that they landed on the moon (so what? The Russians were the first into space. EVERYBODY wants to get into space, to have their orbitting sattelites. Nobody wants to go to the moon. Not even the yanks who have done before - you may have noticed we haven't been in a great many years...)

Some might feel that way even though we did land on the moon. Then again, the technology transfer from NASA to private sector, even for failures, compared to countless other programs, is massive. But I won't go there.

Especially since it's popular these days to gut NASA's meager budget for various things that are of questionable value. Same goes for when people demonize defense projects (although NASA's budget is nothing in comparison), not realizing many are safety and humanitarian efforts, in addition to R&D. The nets to detect tsumanis are perfect examples people overlook, and there are yet others. It's not all about F-35s, although the USAF could use some realities checks.

The US is destroying itself through it's lack of engineering investments and innovation, let alone not deploying useful solutions it has already developed. Kinda ironic how other nations complain about US capabilities, and get the US to concede them, all while they develop (often steal) and then deploy their own, hypocritically. Nothing has really changed, whether it was the H-bomb or X-band radars in the Czech Republic and Poland.

Just how the world works. What you see and hear in the media is 180 degrees from the reality of what US allies really want and the reasons why its non-allies do everything they can do undermine them. Which his why there are now concerted efforts to undermine the fact the US ever landed on the moon as well. And it comes full circle.

And to imagine, it was all seeded by a pair of US engineers who wanted to prove, in a video, that most Americans don't have knowledge of even just 18th century physics. Now it's taken a life of its own, where even foreign governments have a vested interest, unrelated to the original experiment. Although, ironically, US math & science test results aren't exactly helping the problem these days.
