I really can't credit it. Not only that there are people naive or stupid enough to still doubt the Moon landings, but that they would be so crass as to intrude with their asining ramblings on an RIP thread.
Not that the sane part of the human population thought it would make any difference to these lunatics and knuckle draggers, but as a kick in the proverbials for them, and as a tribute to one of man's greatest achievements, here's one of the images taken in July by the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter of the Apollo 11 landing site where, funnily enough, everything is still there. And will forever be, as the best tribute to Neil Armstrong of all.

Pah! They are just drawn on. Especially those labels and arrows.
Why did they not scuff out a message with their boots in the Moon's surface dust saying 'Hi mom' in large letters? Any 'normal' American would have done that. Because they never went there that's why. Proof positive.

Only a Brit chav would have put 'WOZ 'ERE'. So on that basis, you are telling porkies.

Apparently he rated his chances of surviving the mission at "about 90%".
There's a story in one of today's papers about how he nearly died on the Gemini 8 mission in 1966. He and his co astronaut were on the verge of falling unconscious after the craft started spinning wildly. He only just managed to correct the fault. If he'd failed there would have been 2 corpses orbiting the earth for the next 10 years, something which would probably have brought an end to the programme.
I was fortunate to attend one of his very few lectures. Rather like listening to an avuncular university professor, a genuinely modest man who seemed completely unaffected by his experiences.
