There ought to be a standing challenge to the HB side; put up or shut up. The only acceptable proof that we never went...an independently supervised mission to the moon, robotic or manned (paid for by the HB's) which fails to find any physical evidence of descent stages, rovers, flags and so forth at the places where NASA claims it landed. A few hundred million bucks should cover it. I imagine side bets could go that high, easily. Surely there are at least a million HBs? Surely they're so convinced of their positions they'd be willing to cough up a few hundred bucks a piece to put all the gullible dupes in their place? I'm sure the Russians would love the business; ESA or the Japanese could handle it too. Get somebody neutral to supervise the mission and make sure no funny stuff is going on...that might be a show-stopper, come to think of it. Of course, the HBs would claim, upon seeing incontrovertible evidence of hardware at an Apollo landing site, that it was a hastily-assembled robotic mission thrown together to fake a manned landing. So, you'd almost have to land and examine the stage left on the surface to determine if it had an autonomous guidance system or not. It might be necessary to do a complete inventory of all artifacts at the site. That might clinch it. Much more expensive though. But, if they're as smart as they think they are, they can recoup the cost of the mission from selling the TV rights, and if they are ultimately vindicated (as they surely must be!), they'll garner incredible politcal and commercial clout. How can they miss?

So, let's hear no more cavils from the HB gang...put your nickels together and fly or put a sock in it.
