Default Thirty-five years ago today.....

A man (Gene Cernan) last stepped on the surface of the moon.

How long I wonder before we return?

Apparently there were over 400,000 people involved on the Apollo programme, I wonder what could be achieved with that sort of cutting edge resource these days?





As you can see, I'm a bit bored today

35 years on..... dam.

I bet they would do it exactly the same way aswell.

Unless they would go via the International Space Centre.

Bet 35 years ago they thought in 35 years time people would be living on the moon.

It's true you know. The so-called "moon landings" were actually just a clever conspiracy to raise taxes.
