3. Also...There are people claiming the lunar landing FAKED !!
Heroes indeed.

Quick -- somebody call CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News! I've got a hardcore group of people -- thousands, in fact, located all around the world -- who will swear the whole NASA moonlanding program is and always was an outright hoax; that we never went there.

Plus -- unlike the Swiftboat folks -- they're not just blowing smoke up your ass; they've got photographic proof -- forensic evidence! -- to back up their claims.

4. The lunar landings didn't need to be faked - in fact, they weren't
even remarkable. After all, space travel was common at the time because Star Trek was on TV every week. I heard this from an air headed young woman back in 1969 and she was serious.

8. I was impressed, considering the level of tech at the time.
Come to think of it...I was impressed the first time I saw a pen with a digital clock in it ten years later.

9. I was too, but there were many at the time that either thought they
were faked (my grandmother included) or couldn't differentiate fact from fiction.

5. Think about it, though
RED suit? Equal distribution to all non-naughty children? How far is the North Pole from Siberia? Do those elves get any health benefits or salaries? We put STARS on the tops of our trees?

Early pix show Santa with a sickle. I'm just saying...

6. But Saturn (who is the basis for Santa) lives at the SOUTH pole!
What do you say to that?

10. I was in the sleigh next to S Clause.....He was NOT at the South Pole!
He claimed he had presents for children.
I saw no presents, and frankly, A picture of "Rudolph" hangs in the Siberian children's hall of fame.

Santa Claus...."He wore a red suit".
