"Music and other forms of art exist since the dawn of mankind. No industry was ever in place to support the production of those works until the 20th century."
That is because those artists had patrons or were employed by the 'State'. Now can you imagine one person being the patron for a movie. It cannot be done, not if you want A or B grade movies.
Most people know the poem and the myths but few people know the real facts. If we never go back, the moon landings may well be remembered in the same way. Mind you I think we will be going back since we will be needing the uranium that has been discovered there. Well at least the Chinese will since they are the ones that are building the most reactors in the near term.
In 1969 the Americans first landed men on the moon. Now some people have made names for themselves by saying that this and subsequent landings never happened. Their position is that NASA faked them in order to save face and fool the public. To prove their point they rely on explanations of the reported events using dubious science and lay explanations that any first year science major would and does, laugh at.
However, they always miss or purposely avoid the the one piece of irrefutable proof that it did in fact happen. That is that the Soviet government never refuted the American claims and they were in a unique position to do so. For even after the Americans landed on the moon the Soviets still continued to send orbiters, landers and rovers to the moon.
Now if they wanted to get the goods on the Americans all they had to do was to land, photograph or explore with a rover the American landing sights. Just imagine the embarrassment not to mention the the damage to American credibility, at the height of the cold war no less, that such information would generate. Records even show that they never landed or even explored that areas that that American landings happened. So they did not even go and look to make sure because they knew it really happened.
But they did not. They did not use it to pressure the Americans to stop bombing North Vietnam and Cambodia where Soviet military advisers were being killed as a result. They did not use it to pressure the United States to stop sending military advisers to and providing Stinger missiles to the Afghan fighters during the Soviet occupation. They did not use it to stop the Star Wars program of the Regan administration.
In fact they did not even use it to turn the West's attention away from the Soviet Union during the Soviet Coup of 1991 when members of the Soviet government briefly deposed Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and attempted to take control of the country.
Which every body knew was the last death throws of the Soviet empire. If they did not use the information then to turn the attention of the American, and world public, inward to their own governments lies and thus corruption and force it to ignore the events in the Soviet Union in order to deal with a damaging domestic and international issue. Then the proof of faked moon landings did not and never existed.
One final thought. After the fall of the Soviet Union the Russian economy tanked. People were selling all kinds of stuff owed by the crumbling state, ships, weapons, artworks and knowledge but nobody ever approached any Western news agency or tabloid to sell them this information. And to say that one would buy it but not publish is foolish. The seller could just keep peddling it until someone did and then it would be old news and worthless until then it would still be worth something.
Ok, so I forgot the <Sarcasm> tags. Actually they will not believe it even after they are standing on the surface and looking at the old sites. They will then say that they were the first since all those before were just faked.
Not to worry. Most likely they will announce as the corner stone of the 50th anniversary extravaganza a return to the moon for the 75 anniversary of the first moon landing.
Just because the option is there does not mean you have to use it. Nothing is makeing you turn it on. You want the extreem chalenge never use it. However, if because you have a problem pushing the buttons fast enough due to a disability then this feature enables you to enjoy the game.
Take your niece or nephew to the park. The younger they are the better. Nothing attracts young women like a toddler or baby in a stroller. It is even better that a puppy.
What my wife and I want to know is when are they going to release a golf game for the wii that has the simple play style of wii sports but lets you select some of the more famous courses in the world.
That and Mario Kart 2..
This is to be expected when the rules are made by people who have no idea how the technology works. The only good that will come out of this is that the youth of today are aproching voting age and they know that the old guard is just posturing and will treat them acordingly in comming elections.
The reason the US still treats Cuba that way is because the Cuban expat community in Florida has the swing vote in that state. And the way their electorial system works (dosen't work) makes them a very powerful although very small group. So each political party tries to be seen as hard on Cuba to get this all powerful, but again very small, voting block.

Remember when you could zoom in on the Moon and see the Swiss Cheese.
Could we put them all on the 'B' Ark.

We all know that the photos will all be doctored by NASA before they will be released to the public.
Simple search turned up his home address and phone numbers. Nice pool.
Of cource it is fiction. It has to be because they never went there in the first place.

Books stores and libraries. Female Geek == Librarian. Remember its the quiet ones you have to watch. 25 years and counting.
Well that about wraps it up for all the archaeology in Britain. After all once you reach back 6000 years there is no more to find.
I am still waiting for a golf game with the same simple gameplay as WII Sports Golf but lets you play of all the major courses in the world.
What my wife and I want to know is when are they going to release a golf game for the wii that has the simple play style of wii sports but lets you select some of the more famous courses in the world. That and Mario Kart 2..
Nope, was a rogue Star Wars satellite. Blame Reagan.
Ah, light does not do that...you get white, you get black with paint.
The reson for 100km is to keep them far enough away that they cannot see that the sites do not really exist......
Use black light ??

"How could y'all have just let this happen ?"
To see how it happened rent the movie "V for Vendeta". It explains it quite nicely.
