“And one giant leap for mankind!” The Apollo 11 Astronaut said these words when he first set foot on the Moon’s surface July 20, 1969.
For all you youngsters that don’t have firsthand knowledge of the time, there was a conspiracy theory advanced by fringe groups saying the landing was staged by Director Stanley Kubrick; that it never really happened. As ridiculous as it was and with no proof, a survey estimated 20% of Americans believed the theory was highly probable.
With advances in communication and technology nothing like that conspiracy theory could ever be believed today. Something outrageous, like believing without a shred of proof, a loser presidential candidate ranting about the election being rigged and stolen. There simply could not be that many idiots in the world today.
Uh-Oh…
