Title: Re: NOT 510,BUT USA SPACE RACE TO MOON AND MARS
Yes I remember being taught the same thing. however, I saw
something on TV a long, long time ago narrated by Philip Adams, which said
it was a hoax. I may have been confused, it seems the digger was not actually a
member of the regular army although he was dressed as such. This may have been
the hoax, not the event itself. My apologies, I have been checking all info I
can find and cannot corroborate my earlier statement. I hereby retract that
statement. How embarrasing.

This never happened??
I remember learning it at school from a text book and if I remember they
mentioned it when I did Bridgeclimb?? WTF??

Mal, seems like you got
sucked in by two mock-documentaries (mockumentaries). I've seen the moon
one and another one about a New Zealand flyer. The moon doco starts off
serious but by the end you should realise it's a joke. The Kiwi flyer one
that I saw was called "Forgotten Silver" and was by Peter Jackson ("Lord of
the Rings" director). That one had me pretty fooled too, the guy claimed
that his subject was the first to fly and first to create colour film etc.
etc. Do a search on the web and you'll find out. As for moon dust,
remember that the moon is airless and dust needs air or a gas to remain
suspended. It falls back to the ground slowly due to the moon's one-sixth
gravity. This is why you don't see enormous rooster tails of dust coming of
the wheels of the lunar rover. Why didn't the moon landers get covered
in dust? Well go and blow some air vertically downwards onto sand and see
what happens to it. It goes away from the centre doesn't it? It aint gonna
blow away, turn around 180 degrees and come back and land on you, especially
with no wind or air. This fake moon landing theory has been around for years
and formed the basic premise of the film "Capricorn One" about a fake Mars
landing. Another classic faked news peice is the cutting of the ribbon by
a loony digger with a sword on horseback at the opening of the Sydney
Harbour bridge. That film was faked by Philip Adams but is often mistaken
for actual history.
Trust me, it's all
bull.

Sorry this
is not 510 so please delete if not wanted..
This makes
for good reading or laughing about,,They say man hasn't been to/on the
moon since 1972..(What a good year for the 510).
I've also seen a
program on TV that proved that man has never set foot on the moon,as the
moon dust is that deep you would never be able to take off as you would be
under the moon dust after landing and the dust settled. They also
showed the place where they did filming on earth and told people it was
takin on the moon..
Now if they could get on the moon why are they
building a space station in space and not on the moon ,like in the old TV
program "Space 1999".
Now in all books in your USA schools say the
Wright Bros in the USA were the first to fly a plane,, Well thats a load
of garbge/ tripe / what ever but the first person to fly a plane was
a New Zealander called Richard Pearce on the 31 March 1902 at a place
called Waitohi which is near timaru in the south Island of New
Zealand.
