Forty years ago today, we landed a man on the moon in a spacecraft that had the computing power of an iPhone.

There's been lots of debate over whether the expense and effort was worth it. There are even those who deny that it ever happened.

I find these wacko's who say the Holocaust didn't happen, or that the Moon Landing was a hoax to be at the Pinnacle of Pompous Paranoia.

Probably.

For the record, if you wanted to rate the wasted expense of space exploration compared to the other stuff that the government spends our money on, I'd have to give the moon landing a big thumbs up. At least it's something that inspires some awe and pride. It's a lot cooler than the Big Dig.

As a practical matter, the Moon is the only realistic place that we can frequent in space unless we perfect time travel. Everything else is just too damn far away. So there is no harm in checking it out.... every forty years or so.

I gives the thumbs up to that cop that cuffed and stuffed that knows it all fag type feller who happens to be a negro, and a full moon to that preacher Al Sharpoon.
Ise push the envelope of truth, preferably stuffed with tens and twenties.
