Sigma Orionis post after yours is worthy of note.


But to calrify- the reason others stated- and for myself in agreeing and defending the point: A LOT of GOOD people were affiliated with the nazi party. Proclaiming them evil by default when they lived in fear is nonsense.

If Van Braun REALLY was an evil Nazi im sure my opinion of him may become quite Unmentionable.
It ALSO proves nor Disproves anything about the claim that Apollo was a hoax.
These are unrelated events that Rogan used to cast doubt- when he lacked any Proof. "Its WEIRD!", he proclaimed.
Whether he was or was not- its not Weird. Its unrelated.


To make a point however is NOT a disqualification of a Granted idea that was placed on hold to make the point:

The true Nazi's WERE evil and the atrocities they commited go far beyond any words, sympathy or regret for Earth.
The absolute horrror and darkness of the Nazi Party have indeed left scars that will torment humanity for a very long time.

Following the terror, pain and tragedy of WWII
not only peace and rebuilding
But APOLLO
These missions were more than just a Space Race. Neil Armstrong's words were powerful: "Thats one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
A question that i often ask friends or strangers that are haunted by their past is: (pay attention to the way it is worded here...) "What will it take for you to Walk OUT of Your History?"
After the darkness of a very tragic war came an event that set the stage and standard for where we were going to go from there. We Walked on the Moon! The Inspiration of Apollo will touch generations for centuries- our first tenous steps...
Hitler is Dead. But Apollo will live forever.
For those that deny Apollo...
They are denying MUCH MUCH more than just some missions. They are denying the defeat of an age. They are denying our ingenuity, intellect, aspirations to succeed - to go above and beyond- To touch the stars. They are denying humanity.
