They took some FROM the moon and others FROM Space!



No no no, that will surely be some sort of fake too, don't be so naive!!

Honestly, they can send probes to Mars, send satalites to the outer reaches of the Solar System, and yet, we can't even visit the Moon? Yeah right, pull the other one!

When they send a machine to the moon & return it to earth, intact, then your argument will hold some water. At present none of those machines have been returned to earth, under controlled & safe conditions. Odd that they cannot return a satellite from earth orbit, so that it can be retrieved intact upon landing.

For the doubters how about pictures of the tracks left on the moons surface

so... the chunk of the lunar module they did return to earth in, doesn't count how? is it technically not a machine? or was it not returned under 'controlled & safe conditions' because it pretty much crashed in to the sea? or did it not return 'intact' because various stages were discarded on the trip?

The Lunar Module was never returned to earth!

Well why don't we just go up with a giant net and catch one then!!

Is that your way of saying "take a running jump"?

I think you'll need more than that just to get into orbit somehow unless you can run at 17500 MPH!

Yes Classic, how DID they get the Clangers back?

Tell you what, if I ever become a mad and eccentric Multi Billionaire, I'll consider retrieving one or two for you!

Why would anyone want to land on the moon anyway? Surely a piece of cheese that old would be well past it's expiry date and very smelly.

That's why they needed to wear helmets.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That's why they needed to wear helmets.

But surely it is in a vacuum and it is all dead and sterile anyway, so it wont ever get the chance to progress further than it has been for Thousands if not millions of years - a similar process used by the makers of Babybell cheese incidentally.

I think the Astronauts were just being a bunch of big sissies by not taking their helmets off!

sorry, I'm meant the 'command' module... all of which orbited the moon, and part of which, crashed/landed in the sea.

They brought the Clangers back! When.

Didn't land on it though. As you said it orbited, went round the moon.
