Hi Anastigmat

Re your mistaken belief:

It took ten years and several close approaches before man finally landed on the moon

I thought you would have realised by now that all this showbiz stuff actually takes place in a high-security film studio buried deep within Area 51 ! That fireworks show down at Cape Canaveral is purely put on to amuse visiting tourists. What's more, as a long term advocate of the flat-earth society, I'm surprised you haven't yet figured out what really happens to all those boats which mistakenly stray over the edge of the world in the vicinity of the Bermuda triangle.....LOL ?

Best regards
Richard
