Space conspiracies are in. I was appalled that the Apollo hoax meme
has gained sufficient ground that David Livingston saw fit to ask you
about it on his show. (You were much nicer than I would have been.
"It is easier and cheaper to go to the moon than to fake millions of
artifacts and fool millions of people. Anyone who believes the Apollo
program was a hoax either hasn't done his homework or is incapable of
understanding the issues. In either case, they have made themselves
irrelevant to a technological civilization, and I ignore them. Next
question...?")

Which requires something right-here-right-now to sell to them. It's a
chicken and egg problem. But cash deposits separate the men and women
