Aside: For those who don't recall, there's a cute little movie called "The Dish" about the Australian relay station that broadcast the landing. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 29, 16:47 3

  - It's quite charming. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 17:42
well they've had 40 years to fake the footage properly. -- nm - Remlik Jun 29, 16:42
Michael Bay made those!!! The edits suck! -- nm - Redmond Jun 29, 16:39 1
- And an hour in a robot humps the astronauts leg and mission control eats pot brownies. -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:41
Can I take my tinfoil hat off now? -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:36 11
- I find that if you wear tinfoil as socks you don't look as ridiculous. -- nm - Loyola Jun 29, 16:38 1
  - I have those on too. Athlete's foot is caused by the grey aliens impanting the space between my toes with microbes. -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:40
- Now we can see the flying saucers in the background! -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:36 8
  - I knew it! Sales of my tinfoil hats are going to go through the roof! -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:38
  - In my version, Buzz walks first. -- nm - George Lucas Jun 29, 16:37 6
    - Brilliant. Also, collins-the-hutt is armed to the teeth and surrounded by slave girls. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:38 4
      - (* The fact that I had to look up Michael Collins' name is a sad statement about the If-You-Ain't-First, You-Layast mentality :)) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:39 2
        
        Collins didn't even "show". He stayed in orbit. But he's Han Solo. He gets to drive the space ship. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:43 1
        
        I see ... no, I think you mean Chewbacca. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:44
      - It's clear who scored best out of that threesome. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:39
    - *Nice* -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 29, 16:38
I call elves. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:34 2
- Maybe. It's fascinating to know, though, that all we know of the moon landing is from a 16mm camera pointed at a compressed image. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:36 1
  - How could there be a moon landing when there is no moon. -- nm - Loyola Jun 29, 16:36
