I've cleaned up your mess now .

On-topic, the going to the moon one always drives me bonkers, as just about all the "evidence" I've seen saying that we did NOT go is easily dismissable if one applies just a shred of analytical thinking. The only one that makes me go "hmmm" is this: since the moon is covered by very fine dust, why is there no apparent crater or displacement of dust from the rocket engines on the lander? Maybe I just haven't seen enough photos. At any rate, the Chinese are saying they want to go to the moon by 2005, so I guess we'll find out then. Wouldn't it be cool if they got there and said there was no evidence of human landing?

There may be no evidence left, but it was there I assure you. The Apollo program identified helium and argon atoms in an almost nil "atmosphere", and Earth-based observations added sodium and potassium ions to the list in 1988, but it's so thin that almost everything gets through. Having said this, the amount of identifiable human intervention since we went may be nil as well. Just a thought.

Remember when one of Nasa's space shuttles exploded because the pilot put it to full throttle. Maybe the astronauts wanted to go to the moon and Nasa didn't want them to reveal the truth. So Nasa put a bomb and a detonator to activate at full throttle

that was a leaky o-ring...

this my my own deal:
going to college is a bogus... why?

Well, the education boards say "work hard, go to good college, make good money". Well then for many many folks it's like "well, I have no money to go to good school". Gov't says "that's ok, we'll lend you some money for a really low interest rate and you can take a long time to pay us back". So you take the bait and you go to college. In the mean time you are racking up the debt. When you get out of school, you find a job... now you get screwed twice... you have the debt from college and you get a "good" job and you pay taxes... The whole college thing is a gov't scam to make more money.
