I really shouldn't comment any further on this but here goes anyway. From my
perspective, you've got it totally reversed. When dealing with the Kennedy
assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, and 911, Television coverage doesn't
even begin until incidents have already begun to unfold. If a big news story
is not anticipated, the media isn't going to cover an event just because they
think something will happen. Landing a man on the moon was planned and covered
for years, therefore coverage began long before the astronauts landed on the
moon. We could have witnessed a tragedy but fortunately everything went well.
Case and point when dealing with live coverage, the Challenger explosion in
1986. I know a man who was acquainted with the late astronaut James Irwin, who
discussed with him some of his experiences concerning space travel and looking
at the Earth from the moon. All you've done is stated your opinion with no
evidence to back it up. If you have any contact me off list as I'm not sure
that Steve nor Mac really want this thread to continue.
Mark Martin, 73.

The events you mentioned DID take place....everyone saw and experienced
them....the moon walks were staged!

I do agree that you should not believe everything the government tells you,
but this one's not a hoax, several men have gone to,and safely returned from
the surface of the moon. You can take this one to the bank. I can understand
if you want to question events like the Oklahoma City bombing, 911, the Kennedy
assassination, among others, but the moon landing is not in dispute here.

Too young....I was born in '62....I was at MSB in '69....NO man has been
on the moon! Funny how everything our government tells us is believed!

Age: 82
Full name: Eugene Andrew Cernan
Noted For: U.S. astronaut; flew on the Gemini 9 mission in 1966; flew
on the Apollo 10 mission (as lunar module pilot) in 1969; as commander of the
Apollo 17 mission in 1972, was one of the last two of twelve men to walk on the
moon.
Quotation: "We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return,
with peace and hope for all mankind."
Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, died Monday, Jan.
16, surrounded by his family.

Cernan, a Captain in the U.S. Navy, left his mark on the history of
exploration by flying three times in space, twice to the moon. He also holds
the distinction
of being the second American to walk in space and the last human to
leave his footprints on the lunar surface.
He was one of 14 astronauts selected by NASA in October 1963. He
piloted the Gemini 9 mission with Commander Thomas P. Stafford on a three-day
flight in
June 1966. Cernan logged more than two hours outside the orbiting
capsule.
In May 1969, he was the lunar module pilot of Apollo 10, the first
comprehensive lunar-orbital qualification and verification test of the lunar
lander.
The mission confirmed the performance, stability, and reliability of
the Apollo command, service and lunar modules. The mission included a descent
to within
eight nautical miles of the moon's surface.
In a 2007 interview for NASA's oral histories, Cernan said, "I keep
telling Neil Armstrong that we painted that white line in the sky all the way
to the
Moon down to 47,000 feet so he wouldn't get lost, and all he had to
do was land. Made it sort of easy for him."

Cernan concluded his historic space exploration career as commander
of the last human mission to the moon in December 1972. En route to the moon,
the crew
captured
an iconic photo
of the home planet, with an entire hemisphere fully illumnitated -- a
"whole Earth" view showing Africa, the Arabian peninsula and the south polar ice
cap. The hugely popular photo was referred to by some as the "Blue
Marble," a title in use for an ongoing series of NASA Earth imagery.
Apollo 17 established several new records for human space flight,
including the longest lunar landing flight (301 hours, 51 minutes); longest
lunar surface
extravehicular activities (22 hours, 6 minutes); largest lunar sample
return (nearly 249 pounds); and longest time in lunar orbit (147 hours, 48
minutes).
Cernan and crewmate Harrison H. (Jack) Schmitt completed three highly
successful excursions to the nearby craters and the Taurus-Littrow mountains,
making
the moon their home for more than three days. As he left the lunar
surface, Cernan said, "America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of
tomorrow.
As we leave the moon and Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came, and,
God willing, we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind."

"Apollo 17 built upon all of the other missions scientifically," said
Cernan in 2008,
recalling the mission
as the agency celebrated its 50th Anniversary. "We had a lunar rover,
we were able to cover more ground than most of the other missions. We stayed
there
a little bit longer. We went to a more challenging unique area in the
mountains, to learn something about the history and the origin of the moon
itself."
On their way to the moon, the Apollo 17 crew took one of the most
iconic photographs in space-program history, the full view of the Earth dubbed
"The Blue
Marble." Despite it's fame, the photograph hasn't really been
appreciated, Cernan said in 2007.

"What is the real meaning of seeing this picture? I've always said,
I've said for a long time, I still believe it, it's going to be -- well it's
almost
fifty now, but fifty or a hundred years in the history of mankind
before we look back and really understand the meaning of Apollo. Really
understand what
humankind had done when we left, when we truly left this planet,
we're able to call another body in this universe our home. We did it way too
early considering
what we're doing now in space. It's almost as if JFK reached out into
the twenty-first century where we are today, grabbed hold of a decade of time,
slipped
it neatly into the (nineteen) sixties and seventies (and) called it
Apollo."
On July 1, 1976, Cernan retired from the Navy after 20 years and
ended his NASA career. He went into private business and served as television
commentator
for early fights of the space shuttle.
