    Don't you guys find it insane that a man walked on the moon FORTY years ago? I mean, if you look at computers, if you look at cars, if you look at houses, if you look at.. anything basically, we have advanced so much. If you had an ACL tear back then, your running days were probably over, but they went to the fucking moon.
    1970's medicine might be a little better than you think.
    My point is not that it didn't happen, if that's what you mean. My point is that there was more technology back then than we think. I know huge risks were taken, but flying to the moon without having even one half decent computer?
    The computer was top notch for back then, you need to watch Apollo 13, they talk about the computer a lot in there.
    Or flying to the moon with a budget camera to take footage? I am sure 40 years ago there were decent video cameras.
    Yea, but it was a live broadcast from 250,000 miles away. Not like they had 5 news vans up there.
    There's a lot about it that is very very odd. I agree with you there. But I won't go as far as claiming it never happened. There was so much attention, there was so much disbelief, we would have known by now. It is impossible to keep it a secret for forty years, especially if you place it in a Cold War scenario.
    I was the other shooter on the Grassy Knoll.
    Vagina, starfish. Eh, both smell of fish.
    Depending on what starfish you are talking about, it could smell like poopie.

    No, the medicine sucked. I know this for a fact. I have several family members who were doctors back then. It doesn't even compare to what we know today. It was very, very basic. Also, we weren't in the seventies yet. Kennedy's talk about the decade didn't really stick, huh?

    The computer was top notch for back then. No problem there. The problem is: how would the computer do today? I mean, it would not be easy to fly to the moon today (we couldn't, but not because we don't have the technology) and we have computers that are ten times better.

    We're not talking about the early nineties here. We're talking about 1969. You know how long ago that is? 1969 dammit. The first decent adidas football shoe was designed in 1979!

    I know about Kennedy's speech, I think that was '62. The point is, I just round it up to 1970 and I think you are underrating medicine. It's not like 1856 when you got a cut on your finger and had to get your whole arm lopped off. In terms of computers, the flight control computer on the Lunar Lander was probably 1/16 as powerful as the computer you are on right now, but was 20 times the size. The computers now are thousands of times better, not ten times. You are saying we can't go to the moon today? We went 2 times after 1969...

    We can't go the moon today, because of the money, Burke. Not because of the technology. I even said that in my post. And I'm not underrating the medicine. I'm just saying that it was nowhere near the level of today. A perfect example of that is an ACL reconstruction. I mean, your career as an athlete would basically have been over. I mean, in the last 1960's you had the first succesful heart transplants, but the patients would die a couple of weeks later. That's NOT what happens today.

    And yes, you're right about the computers being a lot better today, but that only makes the achievement of going to the moon in 1969 more admirable, doesn't it?

    I didn't see where you were talking about money, but overall I'll agree. My eyes hurt. How are your eyes, Gobert?
