Mankind took its first steps upon the Moon.

It's pretty amazing that it has been so long, and kind of sad that we don't have more to show for our efforts since then. Hopefully that will change.

Here's a link to a CNN video:

PS: I got rather miffed that CNN decided to have a lengthy article on the Moon Hoax believers. :roll: They had a poll thing for it too, on the main page. Apparently, 16% of those who participated believe they were faked. Sigh.

16% sounds bad, but there are worse percentages out there.

I too wish we would go back up there.

It's an unofficial internet poll. I would bet many of those "hoax" voters are trolls.

16% is actually a lot less than I would have expected, really.
