They stopped when there was nothing more they wanted to know (and Congress wouldn't give them any more money). Everybody loves a good conspiracy theory, but how about you find a real one to post about, like Watergate for example. Now that was one mother of a conspiracy. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 489765 | 2006-10-07 18:31:00 | What is just as facinating is the story of the rocket development and the cold war events leading up to the moon race. The story of the major players Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev makes exciting reading. I would recommend this book, great read. The Space Race :The Untold Story of the Two Rivals & Their Struggle for the Moon by Deborah Cadbury From the author of 'Seven Wonders of the Industrial World', another highly anticipated TV tie-in charting the shocking but true story behind the space race - and the ruthless, brilliant scientists who fuelled it. This riveting account stretches from World War II through to the moon landings. With the two superpowers pitched against one another during the Cold War, this race to create the most powerful rocket and dominate the world culminates in 1969's 'giant leap for mankind'. Involving the most pioneering and high-risk experiments ever undertaken, the space race cost untold millions - and hundreds of lives, as mistakes were made, some too horrific to be made public at the time. Set against a backdrop of communism and espionage, it is a tale full of heroes and villains, individuals whose passion it is to be the winner of this dream at any cost. With ex-Nazi Wernher von Braun on the American side pitted against the enigmatic Sergei Korolev on the Soviet side, this revealing new history shows the extent to which politics and personal ambition combined to create an explosive race of epic proportions. An Exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum also gives some idea of the events and history that made it all possible. www.nasm.si.edu |

| 489770 | 2006-10-07 21:42:00 | Personally I believe its just the States blowing fluff (to coin Metlas phrase) that they did land on the moon. If it was indeed true... :groan: Tazz, study the following and then tell us what :o you :blush: think. pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu www.apollo-hoax.me.uk www.braeunig.us www.redzero.demon.co.uk As Metla says: "the fact that every single point raised by the pro-conspricay brigade is 100 percent fluff that has been discounted every step of the way" |
