Do you think the moon landing really happened?

Or was it just a conspiracy?

Welcome to Titan! It's a long way from "..One small step for man..."

I know, there's already someone who doesn't believe...
those are still fantastic images, believe it or not.

Tang was around b4 the space program. It was an existing product they chose. We can't rebuild any spaceships that we made because nobody kept the notes on how they made them including the shuttle. A lot of them took home the plans. Also when you build something that complex you don't plan on building it again that costs more. That is why we still have old space shuttles. They would have to start over again. It's kinda like trying to recreate a very complex computer program 20 years later after tons of upgrades and bug fixes. Plus even if you could redo it the ship would not meet current safty standards.

But how far is it from, say, a Chilean desert [wired.com]?

Why is it that photos of Venus [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov], Mars [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov], and now Titan [esa.int] all look the same? Same orangey-red, rocky "environments"... Uh huh.

Already, "scientists" are buttering us up and feeding us hooey for when we "visit" the "planet [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov]" Pluto [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov]...

And this talk about Russia keeping an eagle eye (Or should I say "bear?") on America, to keep them honest? Bah, they're in on it [nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov] too!

Maybe you've seen these before, but I like Q at the bottom of the list on this This Web Site [geocities.com]. Seen these before on a TV show. Probably did happen, but fun to try and pick holes in wether it happened or not.

You may have noticed that I'm a fan of the Astronomy Picture of the Day (link to "today's [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov]" pic, whenever "today" may be), but the caption for today's - 17 January, 2005 [antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov] - photo really caught my eye.

The photo is the same as the Titan link in my last message, and the caption starts off, "This color view from Titan gazes across a suddenly familiar but distant landscape..."

Yes, the Atacama Desert is rather distant for most of us...

> I like Q at the bottom of the list

Wow, I've never heard about that one - and I'm not sure I buy the possible explanation!

OT

Titan's bizarre chemical environment may bear similarities to planet Earth's before life evolved.

I've actually wondered if Titan's atmosphere could be the result of evolution, before we found Earth.
