Forty-three years ago today – and just sixty-seven years after the very first piloted aircraft flight – Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to walk on the moon.
Or so it is claimed.

lol behave yourself
Are you suggesting that they did not actually walk on moon? Just curious if you are supporting that theory.
I hate missing words. That should be “did not actually walk on the moon”
There are major questions that NASA has never satisfactorily answered.
Care to elucidate?
Technology. There had never been one successful lunar module simulation test. Moreover, the USSR – who had been ahead of America in the Cold War Space Race – was never able to successfully land a man on the moon. The context of the Cold War should never ever ever be underestimated. Most of all, I find it almost impossible to believe that 1969 was the apotheosis of space technology. If America had the technology to put humans on the moon with the Apollo programme, how come it has never been able to do so since?
There are numerous and serious anomalies in the official narrative of the conquest of space. Surely any free-thinking person who has done even a modicum of independent investigation beyond the conspiracy websites would/should be asking at least a few questions.
Really? What exactly are those major questions? On This Deity is a joy and something I look forward to reading, and more importantly learning from, every day. I have no problem with serious discussion and espousing of conspiracy theories, but introducing this one with only a throwaway line and no serious presentation of your position/arguments does sort of bring down the overall “weight” of On This Deity’s ongoing discourse.
Oh I’ve treated several controversial subjects with carefully considered brevity. For this, I thought three things needed to be stated: the acknowledgment of one of the most revolutionary moments of the 20th century, the context of the technology, and that there remains serious anomalies and doubt in the official narrative of the moon landings.
My own position was never the point. (Nor is it the point in most On This Deity entries.)
I AGREE AND NOT ONLY THAT IF YOU HAVE THE SMALLEST KNOWLEDGE OF PHOTOGRAPHY YOU CAN SEE HOW ALL THE NOON PICTURES ARE FAKES…. SUCH AS LIGHT SOURCES….. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGIES YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE WITH DIGITAL SCREENING THAT ALL THE PICTURES ARE FAKES….
I’m a believer!
Really, was there nothing else going on this day that you had to take a cheap shot at the moon landings? Simply refuting something isn’t hard evidence that it didn’t occur. Surely blurbs like this are best left to the tabloids.
Re-engage with the subject for six months, and see if your position doesn’t change.
Dear Dorian one could re-engage for six months or six years, it doesn’t change.
Nice one Dorian! Good to read this debate. I’m on the lunar fence I think!
