Default NASA didn't put men on the Moon

Yes, really... It's so obvious... There are no stars, I can see the flag waiving

Oh, and by the way, happy April 1st!

You're right. They weren't on the moon, the bottom of their boots were on the moon. The actual men had to be at least several millimeters above the surface of the moon!

You guys don't know what you're talking about. I've seen the Shuttle. It has definitely gone to the moon!

You should ask the people that live on the moon. I have pixels to proooove it.

It landed for sure. They have a great runway built for it, equipped with sequentially blinking lights and everything. Most of the passengers were extremely ill by the time they got there after having the in-flight meal of fish.

Fortunately Peter, Joe, and Cleveland were up to the task of bringing it down safely because Quagmire got left behind with a gate agent.

I can't believe it's April 1 already!

That's why they can give you such great travel deals, the labor costs on the moon are so low. Those convicts will work for close to nothing.

Well, yeah, we HAD to set up secret bases on the Moon so we could finally defeat the Nazis who escaped there at the end of WW2 with Hitler's brain.

Duh.

I think the whole space program is a lie. My wife visited Nasa in the Bahamas this winter and saw no evidence of a space program.

How could you possibly go to a place that doesn't exist without excessive use of drugs?

It didn't happen. Moon Man proved that beyond reasonable doubt! Nobody had a answer to his question about how high up the alleged vacuum started!

Typo. NASA put Menendez on the moon. Doesn't anyone else remember "It's a Vacuum, Charlie Brown!"
