First Commercial Moon Mission Approved

Posted by Hemos on from the fly-me-to-the-moon dept.

dorantrist writes "A Discovery Channel article that The U.S. Government has just licensed the first commercial mission to the moon to TransOrbital, Inc.. Part of the mission is "to VERIFY Apollo and other landing sites" because there are still a few people out there who believe the Apollo program was a hoax. --Maybe they can also pickup the golf balls left by Alan Shepard?"

    The US did plant a flag on the moon. Doesn't that mean something?

    "What is it, Lieutenant Sebastian?"
    "It's the rebels sir... they're here."
    "My God, man! Do they want tea?"
    "No, I think they're after something more than that, sir. I don't know what it is but they've brought a flag."
    "Damn, that's dash cunning of them."

    If you couldn't bash or blame the US for everything there would be three posts for every article. Who the fuck do you think you are?
